2016 Civic Teaser Video for China Shows New Color, 220 VTEC Turbo Option

[Dapp]

Updated with new 2016 Civic teaser video for China:




Spotted this while screwing around on Instagram. Appears to be 2 Tourings in a Vitamin C paint. I thought maybe it was a wrap but it looks too natural to be a wrap. I zoomed in and the cars appear to be in a Honda lot in some foreign country.

The clear sidemarkers and asian writing makes me believe this is a Thailand edition

I love that color!!

Love the "Burnt Orange" / "Vitamin C" color. I definitely would have chosen that or a deeper metallic red, or even the Burgundy Night Pearl if it was less purple-ish and had more red to it.

I'm sure they will have some added color options next year and forward along with some minor added options and slight cosmetic enhancement (maybe chrome exhaust tips with bumper cut-outs?)

Color additions are possible. Don't bet on any cosmetic changes. Those would be reserved for a mid model update which won't be till the 2019 models probably. This could be a color for the si though. And maybe even a similar output.

220 vtec turbo mean 220 hp? So much more potent engine?

It's assumed that's what the 220 means.. .but we also should keep in mind that other countries measure their output different from the US. 220 on their scale might equate to our 174.

Man I feel like I just got robbed. I would totally hit that . I have a feeling that motor will be in the Si.

I love the color orange!

Being Thai, those characters are definitely not Thai or Southeast Asian. Like the other commenters said, looks Chinese.

That orange color looks pretty nice and my favorite color is orange but I do love my cosmic blue.

Yea true. I will say I did finally drive the 1.5T today. Pretty much what I expected. I think it would do for daily purposes. Just hoping the Si is still going mainstream but affordable initially and continually( mpgs)

Anyone confirm if the EXt is considered a sports or performance car insurance? My 2013 Si is considered a sports car. Not sure why.

Obviously I'm hopeful the Si has a 2.0 Turbo, but considering the claimed power to actual power in the US 1.5 turbo, either way the SI will be satisfying. The 1.5 can easily achieve 220+ horsepower. It's been proven on a CVT our current 1.5 has closer to 200 horsepower

What does China measure engine power in? 220...hmmm

 

[virtual888]

The language on the sign is Chinese, not sure which dialect though. China is LHD.

yes, they are indeed simplified Chinese, i couldn't make out the middle two characters, it's definitely some kind of service center though.

are they getting a better engine!?

I think the Chinese measures in GP. So it has 220 Goat Power and the volume is measured in CS.. Like for example. The trunk volume holds 56 Cat Space. You can never fit enough cats. Hahahaaaaa
