Honda Civic 2017 rumoured to come with 233PS engine
Initial details about the Honda Civic Type S are reported to have been leaked by anonymous sources
Japanese car manufacturer Honda is working on the Type S version of the all-new Civic that will reportedly be a 2017 model, according to theCivicX forum. It’s scheduled to go on sale sometime between late fall 2016 and early spring 2017.
Under the hood, the car is expected to be powered by a detuned version of the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine of the Type R from where it will inherit many components. Mated to a six-speed manual transmission, the engine will generate power somewhere in the region of 223 and 233PS. The manual transmission is said to be an exclusive for this new Honda offering.
The Civic Type R will be commercially available in omega replica most of the established as well as emerging markets. However, it is not very clear, yet, which body styles will benefit from the Type R treatment, but the hatchback will get it for sure.
In the meantime, the regular Civic Sedan and Coupe will be a 2016MY and Honda apparently has plans to sell all three body styles (sedan, coupe, hatchback) in all markets.
All this information though is simply based on rumours and speculations, as Honda is yet to confirm any of its plans in this regard.
