The only engine used was the D13B, initially using 2 valves per cylinder with an upgrade to 4 valves as complaints began to be heard concerning less than adequate performance. A CVT transmission was offered to take advantage of the engine's torque ability and offer strong fuel economy.
The Logo benefited much from the larger fourth generation Civic in terms of engine and transmission advancements and technology, using the Honda D13B inline four-cylinder SOHC 16 Valve 1.3L using PGM-FI to provide economical fuel consumption and low emissions.
The engineering goals for the engine focused on low revs, and one covering the intake and exhaust valves. Performance is 66 PS, in 11.3kgf · m, which reduces the power and torque compared to the specification, 16-valve, which is 90% of engine torque at 1,300 rpm of commonly-used, 2,500 rpm, showing that the engine was designed to take full advantage of the CVT transmission. The Logo, with a lightweight body and torque characteristics, could easily handle city driving and moderate altitude climbing.
The engineering goals were to have a car that achieved North American ULEV emission standards, and shared much of the technology found in the Honda CR-X HF, with the SOHC 8 valve 1.3L and a 5 speed manual transmission. Minor changes in later grades sport "TS", 16-valve type specification in D13B (SOHC 1.3L PGM-spec FI: 91PS 11.6kgf · m) was also later introduced. The combined transmission, 5-speed manual transmission, 3-speed automatic transmission. Later, the CVT system called the unique Honda "Honda Multimatic" was introduced.
