Aim of development
New advanced engine with combination of high power and excellent fuel efficiency

Mechanical Features - 1.8L SOHC i-VTEC

Feel the inescapable exhilaration as you turn on the ignition. Get swept by a powerful 1.8 litre i-VTEC engine that is designed to deliver 132 PS of refined power with superb fuel efficiency. Besides, Honda i-VTEC technology together with Drive-by-wire Throttle System ensure that the exhilaration stays on even after the drive is over.

Discover sporty excitement with Honda F1 Racing inspired Paddle Shift Mechanism in the 5AT (Automatic Transmission) option. Change gears racing-style with fingertip controls on the left (-) and right (+) sides of the steering wheel.

• Max. Power 132 PS / 6,300 rpm
  Max. Torque 17.5 Kg-m / 4,300 rpm
• The engine load is detected from the engine revolution, vehicle speed, and throttle opening and the intake valve timing is switched to the high output pattern or the fuel saving pattern.
• When the load is small, the intake valve close timing is delayed to substantially reduce the amount of intake. At the same time, the pumping loss is reduced with DBW to reduce fuel consumption.
• DBW (Drive By Wire = Electronically controlled throttle valve)
• Accelerator motion is conveyed to the throttle valve not by a mechanical cable but by electric signals.With computer assistance, the throttle valve is controlled very accurately and precisely.
• 2 stage variable intake manifold
• Length of intake manifold is set to long at low engine revolution and short at high engine revolution to realize a high torque by always using the optimum intake inertial effect. g.
