Honda’s Civic hatch diesel will launch in April this year from $26,990 (MLP) and represents the company’s first foray into the fuel type.
The Civic hatch DTi-S will output 88kW and 300Nm of torque – with fuel economy of 4L/100km and CO2 emissions of 105g/km.
Stephen Collins, Honda Australia director and general manager sales and marketing, says the introduction of the DTi-S is an exciting and welcome addition to the Civic hatch range.
“Our ‘earth dreams technology’ developments were created from an awareness of rising fuel prices combined with increasingly stringent environmental performance targets. This new generation of powertrains brings advanced driving performance and low emissions within reach of our customers,” says Collins.
The European-built DTi-S is an addition to the existing Civic hatch line-up. Large project leader, Suehiro Hasshi says: “Our motivation has been to make many small detail improvements that together make a major difference. That is the challenge and the beauty of the earth dreams technology philosophy.”
The Civic hatch DTi-S is equipped with features such as Honda’s tyre-deflation warning system, daytime running lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, auto stop/idle stop, hill start assist, auto headlights and wipers, dual zone climate control, ECON mode, intelligent multi-information display and a five-star ANCAP safety rating.
