2016 Honda Civic Sedan, Honda is launching the Civic. The all-new generation of the sedan has just been introduced in Australia with a 1.8-liter base engine instead of a 2.0L unit as in the US.
The basic car is called Civic VTi and starts at $22,390 (Australian). It's followed by the VTi-S and VTi-L. The one you see in the photos below is called Civic RS, but it's not a hot hatchback by any measure.

At the bottom of the range sits a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated VTEC unit producing 104 kW (141 hp) and 174 Nm of torque. The bad news is that it's offered exclusively with a CVT gearbox that helps the car achieve a fuel consumption rating of 6.4 l/100km (37 mpg) on the combined cycle.
The other engine is a 1.5-liter turbo making 127 kW (173 hp) and 220 Nm that's also available exclusively with a CVT on RS and VTi-L models. It gets even better economy numbers, at least on paper: 6.0 l/100km (39 mpg) on the combined cycle.
