Does the 10th-generation Civic have VTEC?
1 Answers
The 10th-generation Civic does not feature VTEC technology. VTEC was originally developed as a valve lift technology to improve the intake (exhaust) efficiency of the engine under various operating conditions. With the addition of turbocharging, intake efficiency has been significantly enhanced, making the valve lift (VTEC) system redundant. Removing VTEC reduces moving parts, which helps lower failure rates and costs, while also reducing engine weight. The 10th-generation Civic is a model launched by Dongfeng Honda, featuring a new fastback design. The upper and lower split grille is filled with blackened dense slats, creating a flatter visual effect. The redesigned headlight clusters adopt an inverted 7-shaped layout with sharp LED lighting, offering good recognition at night.
