Honda to introduce new engine series

LONDON: The first example of Honda’s new Earth Dreams Technology will go on display at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.

The 1.6-litre diesel is the first in a new generation of powerplants being introduced over the next three years, boasting high performance, while being eco-friendly.

Lining up next to the engine display will be the NSX Concept, EV-STER and a prototype of the European CR-V.

The 1.6-litre diesel will be the first engine from the series and will be fitted in the new Civic in late 2012.

It produces 120 PS at 4,000rpm and offers peak torque of 300Nm at 2,000rpm

The engine will be the lightest engine in its class, delivering sub 100g/km CO2 levels and a class-leading balance of fuel economy and performance.

A cut engine display of the new 1.6 litre diesel will be shown at the Geneva show in March.
