What is the displacement of the Honda Civic?
3 Answers
Honda Civic offers 1.5T and 1.0T displacement options, equipped with two engines in total. One is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, which is a four-cylinder engine; the other is a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine, a three-cylinder engine. Honda Civic has launched multiple models to cater to the tastes of consumers in different countries, including three-door hatchback models, coupe hardtop sports cars, hybrid versions, and five-door sedan versions. In terms of body dimensions, the Honda Civic measures 4649mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1416mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm.
I drive a 10th-generation Civic, which comes in several engine displacements. The most common ones in China are the 1.0T three-cylinder and the 1.5T four-cylinder. My 1.5T model has very responsive throttle response and averages around 7 liters per 100 km in city driving. If you see an older model, it might have the pre-2016 1.8L naturally aspirated engine. The recently released hybrid version uses a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine paired with an electric motor—despite the larger displacement, it only consumes around 4 liters per 100 km. When buying, check the rear badge: 180 means 1.0T, and 240 is the high-power 1.5T version.
Having worked on Hondas for over a decade, the Civic's engine displacement evolution is quite interesting. Currently, the most frequently serviced model still uses the 1.5T Earth Dreams engine, where carbon buildup requires special attention. Just the other day, a 1.0T three-cylinder owner complained about vibration - but that's normal for new models. The hybrid version's 2.0L engine actually has longer maintenance intervals since the electric motor shares much of the load. If you spot a 2006-era Civic, it's likely powered by the 1.8L red-top engine - those vehicles are still roadworthy today.
