2 Answers
Civic is equipped with Honda's Earth Dreams series turbocharged direct injection engines, available in two powertrain options: 1.0T and 1.5T. The 1.5T engine model is L15B8, and the 1.0T engine model is P10A1, with two transmission choices: manual and continuously variable transmission (CVT). The design of the domestic new tenth-generation Civic is basically consistent with the overseas version, featuring a winged front face design. The dimensions of the new car are 4649mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1416mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of appearance, this car incorporates a large number of black elements, including a black front grille, side skirts, an added small rear spoiler, and black glossy alloy wheels.
The engine used in the Civic, as someone who enjoys studying automotive details, I find it quite fascinating. The currently popular version is Honda's 1.5-liter Earth Dreams turbocharged engine, codenamed L15B. This engine has four cylinders, with a maximum horsepower of approximately 177 hp, and quite strong torque. It delivers quick power response in daily driving, especially feeling sharp during highway overtaking. It incorporates VTEC technology, which intelligently controls valve opening and closing to enhance fuel efficiency, averaging around 6 liters per 100 kilometers—both fuel-efficient and reliable. For maintenance, regular oil and filter changes are sufficient, and the cost is affordable. There's considerable modification potential, such as adding an ECU tune to take performance up a notch. Overall, this setup is an efficient and durable choice in the compact car segment, offering plenty of driving fun.
