How many cylinders does the Civic have?

Civic offers both 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder engine options. The 3-cylinder engine has a displacement of 1 liter with a maximum horsepower of 125 HP, while the 4-cylinder engine has a displacement of 1.5 liters with a maximum horsepower of 177 HP. The Civic's body dimensions are 4649mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1416mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Civic features a stylish and elegant exterior design with smooth body lines. The interior craftsmanship has been improved, showcasing a well-layered design. It offers reasonable storage space, abundant functional configurations, comfortable seats, and spacious passenger and trunk areas.

I've just researched the Civic's engine configurations. The vast majority of these cars come with four-cylinder engines, whether it's the older 1.5T Earth Dreams or the current 1.5T VTEC. However, there's one exception - the hybrid version, which also uses a four-cylinder 2.0L Atkinson cycle engine. I remember a 1.0T three-cylinder version was available overseas a couple years back, but it was basically never introduced in China. If you see a heavily modified Civic on the street, there's an 80% chance it's been swapped with a red-top K20 series four-cylinder engine - car enthusiasts all know three-cylinder engines aren't up for serious modifications. Actually, from the eighth generation to the currently sold eleventh generation, if you pop the hood and count the ignition coils, those four protruding rubber heads give you the standard answer.

I've been driving the 10th-gen Civic for three years, and the wiring harness is what I'm most familiar with when I pop the hood to clean the engine bay every day. The main 1.5T four-cylinder engine is coded L15B, with four neatly arranged spark plug holes. Back when I worked at the dealership, I never saw a three-cylinder Civic come in for service on the repair orders. Recently, I helped my cousin pick up his new car, and the salesperson said all models come with four-cylinder engines now, even the hybrid version uses a four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. Though I heard the European version has a 1.0T three-cylinder, but no one here would go for that. It's especially obvious when changing spark plugs myself—just remove the engine cover and you can see four sets of ignition coils.

Just helped my neighbor check her new Civic Sport the day before yesterday. The engine bay clearly shows four ignition coils. Regular gasoline versions all have four-cylinder engines, and even the hybrid's 2.0L engine maintains four cylinders. While researching online, I found overseas markets once had a three-cylinder variant, but I've never seen one domestically. Here's a simple trick: count the number of vibrating metal rods during cold start - that's the cylinder count. Actually, exhaust pipes can also indicate - single exhaust tips always mean four-cylinder engines.
