A 2000 Civic LX or DX has 110 HP from 1.6L.

The base Mini has had 120 HP or so since 2007 and was on a list of the 10 smallest vehicles sold in the U.S., as well as the Mirage.
My 0.6L motorcycle has 110 horsepower. It gets 40 MPG. If it were tuned for fuel economy, it would probably have 40 horsepower and get 100 MPG (and have a single cylinder instead of 4). Everything has tradeoffs.
