Put your foot down. You’re rewarded with two racing-inspired ECOTEC four-cylinder engines. A 148hp 2.2L
engine is standard on G5—outpowering Civic Coupe and Focus three-door—while
the High-Output (HO) 173hp 2.4L Variable Valve Timing (VVT) engine powers G5 GT.
Both feature dual overhead camshafts, aluminum blocks and cylinder heads,
electronic throttle control, coil-on-plug ignition and ve-year or 60,000-mile limited
powertrain coverage.*
The HO 2.4L ECOTEC adds VVT for the continuous management of intake and exhaust valves to create the
optimal combination of low-end torque—more than Honda Civic Si—and high-end horsepower. Thanks
to the ingeniously engineered ECOTEC engines, this increased power and performance result in the same
excellent fuel economy as the 2.2L (EPA estimated mpg 25 city/34 hwy. manual). This innovation also results
in more horsepower and better highway fuel economy—by 13%—than Scion tC.
**
Mated to both is the smooth Getrag 5-speed synchronized (including reverse,
a class rarity) manual or an available high-torque-capable electronically controlled
4-speed automatic transmission. Plus, even before reaching the driver’s seat, the
available factory-installed remote start system puts you there from nearly 200 feet
away with simply the touch of the key fob.
*Whichever comes rst. See dealer for details.
**EPA estimated mpg 34 hwy. Scion tC: 30 hwy.
