So is there only going to be one engine offered in the end? There is no more powerful option?

All of this info was revealed at the LA Auto Show. They announced only one engine. The speculation is over.

My own take is that the engine might very well be perfect for me as long as it delivers the years-ago intended 40 mpgs. Having driven a series of clunkers for a long time anything new would be a step up. On my last trip I rented a Kia Rio sedan, which I see is also 138 HP. In Eco mode the thing drove very nicely for me and not being a speed freak I was greatly impressed with what it delievered. If the HRV can be just as good if not a better riding experience I'll have zero to complain about.

I wouldn't count on 40 mpg. Real life experience is usually worse than what is advertised or promised.
