10th Generation Honda Civic to get new 1.0-liter Turbo VTEC

Honda could introduce this new 1.0-liter turbocharged engine in India as the trend of turbocharged petrol engines in the country is rising!

Honda has announced that the next-generation Civic i.e. the 10th generation model will feature two new turbocharged petrol engines 1.5-liter and a smaller 1.0-liter Turbo VTEC petrol motors. The 10th gen concept (hatchback avatar) was revealed for the first time earlier this year in America while the production spec 10th generation Civic sedan (fastback design) was also revealed last month in the US only. Both the hatch and sedan version of Civic will hit the European market in 2017 with these new 1.0-liter and 1.5-liter turbo VTEC motors. Speaking of India, there is a possibility that Honda might re-introduce the new vehicle in the country but it appears that there is no immediate plan to do the same. The vehicle was discontinued from India couple of years ago but it has a fair amount of fan following in the country and it is also doing well in the used car market.
