European 1.5L Turbo Gets VTEC and Produces 201 bhp (vs 174bhp American) in 2016 Civic

[firsthonda]

Im guessing yes.



Thats why Im thinking we might be looking at our Si motor right there.

Yup my guess too. Hope not a cvt on Si if they offer auto. Does it say what transmissions they are using?

I've got no guesses on transmission except, they will definitely be offering a manual. Makes sense that the manual isn't offered with the 1.5t on non-Si trims.

But, if they keep the HP on the Si around 200hp, I could see the DCT from the ilx making an appearance.

4 trims and 4 options:

1.0T 6-speed
1.0T CVT
1.5T CVT
1.5T 6-speed

Hmmmm so cvt on Si if they offer in usa think that will be different if offered here

That was euro spec sheet.

 

[firsthonda]

How does usa and America differ in emissions? Would that pass out tests?

Kind of think we will see a auto option if they are getting a 201 hp civic with a cvt

Europeans especially asians hate Autos and CVT. They'll just have to bring it for better sales.

Right now the best civic selling here is the 1.8L Fully Loaded 6 speed manual. people rejected the CVTs

Then what will the European Si get?

 

[HondaMan]

That's better then our current Si! What the heck

Only with the torque!

The 2015 Honda Civic Si (USA) makes 205 HP!

Euro gets a S and an L version here.
Probably 240bhp ? Don't know its rumored . Maybe Yes, Maybe No

Lets wait

 

[firsthonda]

Are you talking about the HP or the torque?

The 2015 Honda Civic Si (USA) makes 205 HP!

The two cars in a race the turbo would smoke the 2.4 4 hp Less more torque that would come on quicker.

Definately! Yeah, the torque is the more important of the two!

 

[firsthonda]

Definately! Yeah, the torque is the more important of the two!

And would be 200 plus lbs lighter!

What is an idling stop system? Auto stop at lights?

Stops the engine automatically, starts the engine by only opening the throttle. Incorporating an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) that centrally controls engine operations on the basis of inputs from various sensors, the “idling stop system” automatically stops idling when the vehicle stops for a traffic signal or traffic jam, and restarts the vehicle when the throttle is opened. By precisely controlling revolutions of the ACG starter, which is directly mounted on the end of the crankshaft and serves as an ACG (alternator), as well as a starter motor, the system permits jolt-free restarting. The speed sensor, thermo-sensor, throttle sensor, pulse generator, and seat sensor detect conditions such as stopping of the vehicle, engine temperature, throttle opening, engine revolutions, etc. During cold starts, the ECU automatically stops the engine when warm, and restarts the engine when the throttle is opened. It also controls the stand-by indicator lamp that notifies the driver of the condition of the “idling stop system”.
