The GM Vortec 1.6L Envirotec 1600 engine was a fuel-efficient and compact powerplant designed by General Motors for use in a variety of small vehicles. Introduced in the early 2000s, the Envirotec 1600 was a four-cylinder, 1.6-liter gasoline engine featuring a single overhead cam (SOHC) design with four valves per cylinder for improved breathing and performance. It was part of GM's "Vortec" engine family, known for its emphasis on fuel efficiency, durability, and emissions control. The Envirotec 1600 employed a number of technologies to achieve these goals, including an advanced electronic fuel injection system, a variable valve timing (VVT) system for optimal engine timing across the rev range, and a closed-loop catalytic converter to minimize harmful emissions.

While the exact vehicles that utilized the Envirotec 1600 engine vary depending on region and model year, it was primarily found in smaller cars and subcompact vehicles. Its compact size and lightweight design made it well-suited for front-wheel-drive platforms, contributing to its fuel economy and handling characteristics. The engine's performance was generally adequate for urban driving and commuting, offering a balance between fuel efficiency and modest power output. However, it was not designed for high-performance applications, as its focus remained on efficiency and economy. The Envirotec 1600 engine was a reliable and efficient option for those seeking a small and fuel-conscious vehicle, particularly within the GM lineup.
