The 1996 Paseo is available as a single two-door model. New exterior changes have given Paseo an improved drag coefficient, and a new look. A 1.5L engine is offered with a five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic transmission. Safety features include dual air bags, side impact protection and available anti-lock brakes. Options include pop-up sunroof, rear spoiler, aluminum wheels or styled polycast wheels and an All Weather Package. Convenience options include air conditioning, deluxe stereo system with cassette, cruise control and a Power Package to include power windows and door locks. Color-keyed bumpers, dual outside mirrors, black body-side moldings, intermittent windshield wipers and full wheel covers are standard.
