Is the Honda Envix Equipped with a Three-Cylinder Engine?

[MartinDella]

Honda Envix is powered by a three-cylinder engine, featuring a 1.0T turbocharged engine across the entire lineup. This engine delivers a maximum power of 90 kW and a peak torque of 173 N·m, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT continuously variable transmission. The Honda Envix is a compact sedan launched by Dongfeng Honda, adopting the brand's new family design language. Its three-bar chrome grille seamlessly integrates with the winged LED headlights on both sides, visually extending the front width. In terms of body dimensions, the Envix measures 4756mm in length, 1804mm in width, and 1509mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2730mm.

Last year, I switched to the Honda Envix Hybrid with a 1.5L naturally aspirated three-cylinder engine. With motor assistance, the vibration is almost imperceptible. The most impressive aspect is its fuel efficiency—4.3L per 100km for city commuting, and a full tank can cover over 700km. However, during cold starts in winter, the engine vibrates for about ten seconds, and the noise is slightly louder when using the heater. A friend who bought the pure gasoline version with a three-cylinder engine often complains about noticeable steering wheel vibrations at traffic lights. It's advisable to focus on low-speed conditions during a test drive.

Common issues in the workshop include resonance caused by aging engine mounts in the Honda Envix, especially in vehicles over four years old. Last week, we repaired an Envix with 70,000 km on the odometer—the vibration disappeared after replacing the engine mounts. The three-cylinder design leads to unbalanced crankshaft counterweights, causing rubber components to wear out 30% faster than in four-cylinder vehicles. If the yellow engine light appears on the dashboard, it’s likely due to a faulty carbon canister solenoid valve—a common problem with the Envix. Replacing it with an OEM part costs around 300 yuan.

I was present at the 2019 Enjoy launch event where Honda engineers disassembled the P10A3 engine on the spot. That 1.0T three-cylinder unit featured hollow camshafts, with turbo engagement at 1,800 rpm, but low-end torque remained weak. Actual testing showed a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 11.2 seconds, over two seconds slower than the Civic. The biggest headache is the used car market - three-year-old Enjoy models sell for 8,000 yuan less than same-year Lingpai counterparts, with dealers lowballing prices specifically due to the three-cylinder configuration.

Our car club has surveyed 200 Honda Envix owners, and using 92-octane gasoline with the original fuel additive can reduce engine knocking. A car enthusiast from Dalian modified the intake resonator, resulting in a 40% reduction in idle vibration. It's important to note that you should never flash the ECU. The connecting rod bearings of three-cylinder engines are already under high stress. Last year, a fellow owner experienced cylinder scoring after reprogramming, with repair costs equivalent to half the price of a new engine.

Drivers who operate the Enjoyment model for ride-hailing services like Didi can attest to this: with its 1818cc displacement, the vehicle is taxed as a 1.6L model for the annual vehicle and vessel tax, saving over 200 yuan each year. However, it consumes more engine oil under high-load conditions, and the ride-hailing drivers I know all keep spare oil in the trunk. An interesting detail is that the engine guard has two more mounting holes than a four-cylinder car, presumably designed to enhance heat dissipation.
