Chrysler PT Cruiser Engines and Transmissions

A Chrysler PT Cruiser engine here is gasoline with front-wheel drive. Cabrio examples include the 2.0 MT manual transmission and 2.0 AT automatic; the Hatchback 5-door 1.6 MT uses a smaller engine and a manual. These powertrain pairings illustrate typical drivetrain choices, not every version.
