Powering the SX was a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, generating a respectable 132 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque. This engine, mated to a five-speed manual transmission, imbued the Neon SX with a spirited acceleration and a lively feel on the road. The SX trim level further enhanced the driving experience with features such as a sport-tuned suspension, larger brakes, and a unique body kit with a more aggressive stance. The exterior was characterized by a distinct grille, side skirts, and a rear spoiler, all contributing to a sportier aesthetic.
Inside the cabin, the Neon SX delivered a comfortable and functional environment.
