Both cars pack either a 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-four cylinder engine with 350 horspower in S models, or a 2.0-liter turbo flat-four that makes 300 hp in standard models. Adding the turbos helps both engines access torque earlier, with the 2.0-liter getting to its full 280 lb-ft between 1,950 rpm and 4,500. In S models, 309 lb-ft comes on between 1,900 rpm and 4,500 rpm.
