Don’t let the small engine capacity of the new Honda Civic 1.0 Turbo Hatchback fool you!
With 129 PS and 180 Nm on tap, the turbocharged 1-litre VTEC motor which is ably assisted by the CVT gearbox with paddle shifters enables the handsome hatchback to spring from 0-100 km/h in 10.6 seconds. This is comfortably quicker than many of its Japanese competitors.
The car is also well-equipped with adaptive cruise control, daytime running lights, climate control, blue illuminated meters, motion adaptive electronic steering and Bluetooth hands-free telephony as well as a host of safety features such as Vehicle Stability Assist, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assist.
