Can the Civic use S gear on the highway?
1 Answers
The Civic can use S gear on the highway. Civic's fuel consumption: The 10th-generation Civic has a combined fuel consumption of 5.4-6L/100km as per the MIIT standards. Large-displacement cars consume as much fuel as family cars. With a fuel consumption of 6 liters per 100 kilometers, the same route taken by a 1.6L car like the Octavia consumes 7 liters. Sports cars usually have much higher throttle inputs compared to street cars, leading to greater fuel consumption. When a liter-class sports car accelerates aggressively or runs at high speeds, its fuel consumption is comparable to that of a 3.0L car. Fuel: Most cars use gasoline, so the energy content of the fuel is the same. The Octavia's relatively high fuel consumption stems from high aerodynamic drag, a compact structure that leaves little room for fuel-saving technologies, and a design philosophy that prioritizes high-revving power. Civic's advantages: Spacious interior with thoughtful, human-centric cabin design. Like its unique styling, the Civic's interior design follows a fashionable and youthful theme, offering a feel somewhat similar to the new Odyssey. The innovative two-tier dashboard design and blue cold-light tones exude a high-tech vibe. The Civic is equipped with Honda's newly developed inline 4-cylinder 1.8L i-VTEC engine, which further optimizes the Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control system. Power and torque reach 103Kw/6300rpm and 174N-m/4300rpm, respectively, making the engine more responsive and delivering performance comparable to a 2.0L engine while maintaining fuel consumption levels similar to a 1.5L engine. Efficient combustion also results in cleaner emissions, easily meeting the stringent Euro IV standards. Its drawbacks include a slightly less rigid chassis and somewhat thin suspension. To compete with the Toyota Corolla in sales, the Civic shifted its focus from handling to spaciousness and ride comfort.
