Geo Spectrum Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1990–1993) — First Generation
The first-generation Geo Spectrum is a compact front-wheel-drive sedan built for straightforward daily driving, with modest engines, easy city manners and running costs that stay sensible over the long term.
A typical Geo Spectrum engine is a small four-cylinder sized for economy rather than speed. Examples include a 1.6 MT gasoline version with a manual gearbox, a 1.6 AT with an automatic, and a 1.7 AT diesel. Every powertrain here sends drive to the front wheels.
