The engine

L3T

1.3L Turbo I3

A surprisingly gutsy little three-cylinder with the characteristic thrummy off-beat exhaust note, serving up its torque almost immediately for an eager around-town feel.

The L3T is part of GM's modern small-displacement Ecotec turbo family, an all-aluminum DOHC three-cylinder used in the Trailblazer and related crossovers.
