2016 Honda Civic 2.0L Turbo will be the New Powerful Mate

MANILA: The 2016 Honda Civic was in headlines the entire time during late-2015 and now it seems to continue the trend in 2016 too. As per some reliable sources, the LA launched 2016 Honda Civic will soon be joined by a powerful mate. So now in addition to the currently available 1.5L VTEC mill, you will now see a 2.0L engine accompanying it.

It would not be some ordinary 2.0L mill but will come stuffed with a turbocharger that aims at increasing engine efficiency and power output. The same mill is reported to feature in the 2016 Honda Civic Si, Civic's performance kid. As for the new Honda Civic Si, the car is not due until late 2016 and the dates can extend further till early 2017. Following the current trend, it too is expected to go on sale first in the United States.

So, the 2.0L turbo mill seems like becoming Honda's new hot favorite, as the same mill is all set feature in the next-generation Honda Civic Type R. The present Type R also carries the same mill that currently churns out a maximum power output of 306 hp with a peak torque of 400 Nm. The 2016 edition of the same is expected to feature a re-tuned version and will come late in 2017.

Talking about the 2016 Honda Civic Philippines launch, it is on cards and we can expect one till 2016 year end. As for competition, the new Civic will receive stiff competition from the December launch Hyundai Elantra. The 2017 Hyundai Elantra is available in three distinct trims and is powered by a 2.0L and 1.6L mill. Another sedan from the house of Hyundai that may grace the Philippines auto market soon is the 2016 Sonata Sport, about which we informed you a few days back.
