Les Ricains annoncent leur prochaine Civic 2016 avec le 1.5 turbo
The next-generation Honda Civic's base powerplant will be a downsized turbocharged engine as the automaker tries to boost fuel economy. "Downsized turbocharging will be the base, even for the Civic," Yamamoto said last month on the sidelines of a winter test drive event at Honda's nearby proving ground in northern Japan.
A redesigned Civic may arrive as early as this year. Honda has confirmed plans to start producing the turbo engines in 2015. A supplier source said Honda plans to make as many as 200,000 1.5-liter turbo engines a year in North America, with production starting in the fourth quarter. Honda is investing $340 million in its engine plant in Anna, Ohio, to build turbocharged engines by year end.
The Civic is expected to get a 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder engine as standard, along with an optional naturally aspirated powerplant. The 1.5-liter turbo engine can deliver the power of a traditional 2.0- to 2.4-liter engine with excellent torque and better fuel efficiency, Yamamoto said. The current Civic has a naturally aspirated 1.8-liter engine.
