2018 Civic begin arriving on dealerships on OCT 3rd

[fredericktoo]

The 2018 Honda Civic Sedan, Coupe and Civic Si, begin arriving October 3 at Honda dealerships countrywide. America's best-selling car in 2016 and to date in 20171, the 2018 Civics start at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)2 of $18,840 for the Sedan, $19,250 for the Coupe, and $24,100 for both the Si Sedan and Coupe.

The 2018 Civic Sedan and Coupe are powered by a robust and efficient 1.5-liter direct-injected DOHC VTEC Turbo® engine producing 174 horsepower and 167 lb.-ft. of torque2. A Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) remains an option on EX-T trims and is standard on higher trims. The Civic Si is motivated by a more powerful version of the 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo® engine, with a peak output of 205 horsepower3 and 192 lb.-ft. torque4, paired with a short-throw 6-speed manual transmission for an exhilarating driving experience.

Thanks for posting this. Looking forward to buying a 2018 Sedan EX-L early next year.

Wait they are changing the engine for the 2018 Si model?! VTEC is back?

 

[hfpdohc]

this cant be true........

 

[REDRAGN53]

Not sure how much I believe that...Honda has really dropped the ball on press/technical spec releases lately.

 

[tehSteve]

If the engine get's changed, is it considered Gen11 now? Or is that only for styling?

 

[turbo lover]

Is this a big deal? Same hp and 5 more lb-ft of torque?

 

[dmitri]

Now they have VTEC?

Bet you it's "VTC" misspelled again

 

[boosted180sx]

just like how they were suppose to release the SI with a SMF right

 

[WhatTheFun]

I have no explanation, but directly on Honda's press release it states "VTEC". Highly unlikely that the engine has changed. My guess is marketing.

putting this to rest

 

[gtman]

The engines are carry over. That 167 torque figure is for MT and is unchanged from the 2017's.

 

[LilToTo17]

Lol everyone thinking that they would change the engine for the 2018. Even the 2017 Civic they said that it was "Vtec" but still just turbo. It's a marketing tool they use to bring consumers in.

 

[tehSteve]

I just called like 30 dealerships in new jersey and nobody has heard anything about October 3rd.
They haven't received any brochures, promo, or marketing emails either.

 

[Shankmeyster]

They have always said VTEC but use VTC. Even before the current 1.5t came out Honda's sites said it was VTEC.
