May idea ba kayo how much kaya civic 1.5 kung lumabas sa market?
Looks like a beauty. And it will have a turbo engine. 1.5 turbo if im not mistaken. That torque and power will be sweet. Going back to their performance roots.
Based on articles, the new 1.5L turbo engine will offer a 30hp power output increase over its old 1.8L NA engine. We are looking at around 170+ hp. It's a probability that the engine will be shared with the base Accord and maybe the CRV later on. Much like how Ford was successful with its 1.5L Ecoboost engine on the Fusion midsize sedan and the same engine was placed in the new Ford Focus.
Now if Honda PH will also release the HB version here in the country...hmm at almost the same of the sedan version....
Hindi posible noh? Kakainin sales ng Jazz...
The Ford 1.5L Ecoboost is rated at 180hp at 6000rpm and 240Nm starting at 1600rpm. The torque figure does not include overboost at 5000rpm (usually additional 15-20% torque). The 1.0L Ecoboost has a torque rating of 200Nm at overboost (15 seconds) when it crosses 5000rpm, compared to its usual torque rating of 170Nm from 1500-4500rpm.
174hp (as per Car and Driver) from a small turbo engine is still pretty decent. If properly mated to its CVT tranny, it will surely be one fun to drive car. It will be like the Honda K24 (Accord 2.4L) engine but with torque pull felt at lower rpms (below 2000).

Always dreamed of owning a Mazda 3. When I saw this car, had to think twice.
Worth the wait?
More news and pics about the all-new Civic. Is that a turbo spool indicator on the instrument cluster?

Very nice. I hope Nissan also pitches in their Sylphy (Sentra B17) 1.6 Turbo (200hp and 225hp versions). All that power from a 1.6L. I'm guessing this 1.5Turbo from Honda also makes at least much but the power will probably come from the higher revs.
Very nice! Sana magkaroon din ng medium size SUV ang honda pang tapat sa Fortuner and Monty, sigurado papatok un
The Pilot is categorized as a medium size SUV but more in competition with the Ford Explorer and Mazda CX9. Honda has not been a big player in ladder-frame vehicles so it will not be able to compete with Toyota/Mitsubishi/Ford/Isuzu. Honda has pickup model available in the US, the Honda Ridgeline.
Wow its benchemarked against the 3series and the c-series. And 35mpg combined thats 15km/l 😮
The turbo 1.5 engine is drool worthy. This car will be a segment leader. I read about it in autoblog and carscoop. Their impressions of it are it will be top dog in its class.
