Till now, Honda Civic has undergone ten times of upgrades with more and more impressive features. The latest Honda Civic model is confirmed to employ 1.6L inline-four i-DTEC engine which is used for the all-new CR-V of the same company.
Thanks to its smooth-shifting AT and a torque diesel engine, the tenth-generation of Civic brand can fulfil Honda’s promise of “exhilarating driver performance with efficiency.”
Honda Civic will use i-DTEC diesel engine as in CR-V
The top speed an i-DTEC-powered Honda Civic can reach now is 120 PS @ 4000 rpm while the max torque hits 300 Nm @ 2000 rpm. What’s more, the 9-speed automatic gearbox allows the Civic to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h just in 11 seconds and produce highest speed of 200 km/h.
With a view to lessening the cooling losses as well as turbo lag, simultaneously boosting mid-range pull, running speed and smoother movement of piston, Honda will introduce forged pistons made of steel coupled with a VNT (variable nozzle turbocharger) for Civic models.

Another worth-mentioning point is the addition of cutting-edged NSC system (Nox Storage Converter) to process cell density and conversion quicker. This will help to considerably reduce emissions as well. In the meantime, a silver-covered filter acts as an assistant to enhance combustion efficiency.
Last but not least, the 9-speed AT allows driver to skip gears even from 9th to 5th in full automatic mode. It is for better fuel economy and time saving.
