The New Honda Civic, Civic Type R and Si Variants to Feature a New 2.0-litre Turbocharged Engine
Kuala Lumpur: Honda never fails to surprise its fans with something new, every now and then. As reported by CivicX forum, the new Honda Civic, Civic Type R and Si variants are all set to feature an all new powerful engine. Earlier, it was rumoured that it would be powered by a 1.5L VTEC turbo engine but now a 2.0- litre turbocharged engine with improved performance is in the pipeline.
The 1.5-litre engine churns out a maximum power of 174 PS along with a peak torque of 219 Nm. Further, this engine is paired with a CVT Transmission. To improve the benchmark for the new Civic Honda is coming up with a new turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine which would be more efficient than the older one. This new engine combines the company's very own VTEC variable valve timing system along with a turbocharger. Further, it would also feature a bypass valve fitted into the compressor housing along with an electric actuator on the wastegate. The power figures of this engine are not yet revealed but going by the current Civic Type R engine it could be capable of churning out a maximum power of 310 PS along with a peak torque of 400 Nm. Further, it is expected to be mated with a 6-speed manual transmission or CVT.
While the new Civic Si would be launched around late 2016 or early 2017, the Civic Type R is slated to be rolled out by early 2017. The Honda Civic 2016 was also recently spied in Thailand, which hints towards an early launch. Moreover, Civic Type R would be offered in almost all those markets where Civic is currently present. So a Malaysian launch could also be expected in near future.
