Chevrolet Prizm Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1997–2002) — First Generation
The first-generation Chevrolet Prizm sedan puts a gasoline powertrain in a compact four-door body. You get a practical commuter rather than a performance car, with versions that emphasize straightforward daily driving.
The Chevrolet Prizm engine range in this generation is gasoline, so the powertrain is a conventional setup without diesel or hybrid options. Match it with the transmission that fits your commute, and you have a simple sedan drivetrain for daily miles.
