Technical presentation videos detailing the highlights of the 1.5L direct injection turbo engine powering some of the 2016 Civic models.
1.5L Turbo Engine Specs:
2.0L Engine Specs:
Also watch this powertrain presentation by 2016 Honda Civic Chief Engineer Yuji Matsumochi, powertrain design leader.

1.5L Turbo Engine Specs:
- 174 horsepower @ 5500 rpm
- 162 lb-ft @ 1800-5500 rpm
- Single-scroll turbocharger
- 16.5 psi boost
- 31 city mpg, 42 highway mpg, 35 combined mpg
- Direct injection
- DOHC (dual overhead cam) driven by timing chain
- Dual VTC (variable valve timing control)
- Cylinder head with the built-in water-cooled exhaust manifold
- Aluminum block and cylinder heads
- Exhaust-port passages cast directly into cylinder head (eliminating separate exhaust manifold)
- Drive-by-wire throttle
- Cavity-shaped pistons and optimized skirt design minimize vibration and increase operating efficiency
- Lightweight steel connecting rods are heat-forged in one piece for higher strength
- New grinding process known as plateau honing further lowers friction level between pistons and cylinders
- 0W-20 oil
- Regular (US-grade) unleaded 87 gasoline
- Mechanical high-pressure fuel pump
- Sodium-cooled exhaust valves
- Differences from 2.0L engine:
- Mono scroll turbo system with electric wastegate and intercooler allows for turbo boost to be built up with relatively small throttle openings and low rpm.
- Compression ratio of 10.6:1.
- Smaller M12 spark plugs
- 0-60:
- C&D achieved 6.8 sec
- Motor Trend achieved 7.2 sec w/ touring model
- [Official spec not yet released]
- 1/4 mile:
- C&D achieved 15.3 sec @ 94 MPH w/ touring model
- Motor Trend achieved 15.5 sec @ 92.4 MPH w/ touring model
2.0L Engine Specs:
- 158 horsepower @ 6500 rpm
- 138 lb-ft torque @ 4200 rpm
- With 31 city mpg, 41 highway mpg, 35 combined mpg
- Multi-Point Port injection
- DOHC (dual overhead cam) driven by timing chain
- Dual VTC (variable valve timing control)
- Cylinder head with the built-in water-cooled exhaust manifold
- Aluminum block and cylinder heads
- Exhaust-port passages cast directly into cylinder head (eliminating separate exhaust manifold)
- Drive-by-wire throttle
- Cavity-shaped pistons and optimized skirt design minimize vibration and increase operating efficiency
- Lightweight steel connecting rods are heat-forged in one piece for higher strength
- New grinding process known as plateau honing further lowers friction level between pistons and cylinders
- 0W-20 oil
- Regular (US-grade) unleaded 87 gasoline
- Differences from 1.5L turbo engine:
- i-VTEC (intelligent Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) aids the VTC
- Port injection with Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system to handle fuel delivery
- Compression ratio of 10.8:1
- 0-60: [official spec not yet released]
