Honda reveals the latest turbocharged VTEC engine family

Honda has declared that an all-new range of turbocharged VTEC engines. The latest arrangement includes 1.0-litre, 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre engines that will shortly power small and medium-sized cars in Honda’s range.

There are three-cylinder configuration in 1.0-litre engine that will deliver healthy 125bhp and 200Nm via straight booster turbo charging. The engine will be used to rule the next-generation Jazz, the future new City sedan, Mobil MPV and even the compressed SUV.

The four-cylinder 1.5-litre unit will push heavy 201bhp and 260Nm and is liable to find place below the hood of the Honda Civic as well as in the entry version of the Accord. We are yet to get the accurate specs of the 2.0-litre unit, but it is mostly built for presentation.

We are mainly fascinated in the 1.0-litre mill, as it is to be expected in finding application across Honda India’s range. Though there won’t be any instant changes for Indian cars, the 1.0-litre unit will rule the new Honda City, Mobilio and the Jazz in the upcoming months. The Japanese car manufacturer may also consider for using the same engine with no turbocharger for the Brio.

Honda is so far to confirm when each of these engines will be introduce, but it seems looming that the smallest capacity units’ introduction with the new cars that will go on for sale in the next 1year.
