The REO Runabout is reported to use a traditional four-cylinder gas engine , with no exact horsepower figure published yet in the material I found. The most specific available detail is that REO says the powertrain is tuned for practicality rather than outright performance, and one source also notes a target range of over 600 miles on a full tank.

What is known

  • Engine type: four-cylinder gasoline engine.
  • Transmissions: six-speed manual and automatic will be offered.
  • Claimed focus: durability, low-cost simplicity, and mechanical four-wheel drive.
  • No official horsepower number was given in the reporting I found.

Best read on it

If you mean “how powerful” in a performance sense, the honest answer is that the company has not publicly released a horsepower rating yet. If you mean “how much power” as in engine type and capability, it’s positioned as a modest, work-oriented small truck rather than a high-output model.

TL;DR

REO has said the Runabout will have a four-cylinder gas engine, but the horsepower figure is still not public.
