I think they were lighter too, and had like 45 HP i.l.o. the usual 55 or 60

They were built for one reason: economy
It had a lighter curb weight of 1585. A different computer. A different camshaft which lowered the hp from 55 to 49. The transmission was also geared taller than the base or LSi models.

Specs of Geo Metro XFi 2-door Hatchback model year 1993:
FWD (front-wheel drive) and manual 5-speed gearbox. petrol (gasoline) engine of 993 cm3 / 60.5 cui displacement with advertised power 36.5 kW / 49 hp / 50 PS ( SAE net ) / 4700 and 79 Nm / 58 lb-ft / 3300 of torque. Dimensions: this model outside length is 3744 mm / 147.4 in, it’s 1575 mm / 62 in wide and has wheelbase of 2266 mm / 89.2 in. The officially claimed value of a drag coefficient Cd = 0.33 . Standard wheels were fitted with the tires size: (see standard and alternative tire sizes). Reference vehicle weights are: official base curb weight 719 kg / 1585 lbs . How fast is that car ? Performance: top speed 154 km/h (96 mph) (theoretical); accelerations 0- 60 mph 15 s; 0- 100 km/h 16.1 s (a-c simulation); 1/4 mile drag time (402 m) 20 s (a-c simulation) (see detailed performance data review...).
