When it comes to the ever popular Honda Civic hatch, 2013 was a great year. Not only were sales impressive, but the Australian market received the launch of the first ever Honda diesel. The DTi-S model was launched to complement the recently updated petrol range, to complete the set.
The Diesel Honda Civic Hatch 2013 model DTi-S has an impressive range of features. The power train is a 1.6 litre Honda I-DTEC four cylinder turbo diesel complemented with a manual six speed transmission. This engine system was launched in 2011 and is already in use in a number of European diesel Honda models. The combination provides 88Kw or power at 4000 rpm and 300 Mn torque at 2000 rpm. The fuel consumption figures are listed for the combined cycle at 4.0 litres per 100 kilometres.
It is also anticipated that the Australian market will also be offered a 2.2 litre diesel model CR-V model which manages fuel consumption of 5.8 litres per 100 kilometres. This SUV model produces 110 Kw of power and 350 Nw torque.
Honda has made the claim that their 1.6 litre engine is the lightest diesel in the world. It weighs only 170 kilograms due to an aluminium block and compact turbo charger. It is also thought to be due to the company's focus on using high strength yet lighter weight materials.
