Performance & Capability
Under the sculpted hood rests an Ecotec 2.4L I-4 DOHC, variable valve control, regular unleaded, engine with 177HP. This spirited powertrain is paired with a Close-Ratio 5-Speed Manual transmission that routes power directly to the Rear Wheel Drive setup, offering short, crisp shifts that keep you connected to the engine powerband. Equipped with a Mechanical Limited-Slip Rear Differential, the Solstice provides confidence-inspiring traction during spirited cornering. The four-wheel independent suspension features short and long arm architecture at both the front and rear, tuned with factory Bilstein shock absorbers for precise control and balanced dynamics. Riding on 18 x 8-inch chrome aluminum wheels wrapped in P245/45VR18 performance tires, this roadster stays planted while returning an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Dynamic stopping power comes from four-wheel antilock disc brakes with ventilated front rotors. Drivers interested in trading up to a true sports car can easily value their trade today.
