Honda’s achingly slow striptease of the Euro-spec Civic continues with another spate of photos and some details on the diesel mill set to power the 2012 model.
An updated version of the 2.2-liter i-DTEC four-cylinder will be available when the new Civic goes on sale in early 2012. With around 147 horsepower and upwards of 184 pound-feet of torque, the revised mill - combined with the Civic’s improved aerodynamics - will bring CO2 emissions down to 110g/km and should boost fuel economy by around 15 percent.
Those might sound like incremental improvements, but compared to the U.S. market version, it’s a significant change - one we wish Honda would adopt Stateside. Check out our previous post on the 2012 Euro Civic and make the jump for the dirty details on the oil-burner before the big reveal in Frankfurt.Continue reading Honda releases more details about European Civic [w/video]
