Based on a screenshot posted in CivicX forums, it appears that the tenth-generation Honda Civic with the new 1.5 litre turbocharged engine will get a six-speed manual gearbox. However, for reasons unknown, the coupling has been delayed to 2017.
Debuting just days ago, the Honda Civic sedan will start with a base LX variant in the US. Said variant comes with a 2.0 litre DOHC i-VTEC four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a six-speed manual or a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). It produces an output of 158 hp and 187 Nm of torque.
Top-of-the-range Civic model however, will receive a smaller but more powerful 1.5 litre DOHC direct-injection turbo engine, which is currently only available with an automatic CVT transmission. For the top-range variant, it produces a total of 174 hp at 5,500 rpm and 219 Nm of torque from 1,800 to 5,000 rpm.
The new Honda Civic is a massive revamp over the outgoing FB-gen Civic. It’s slated to take on “luxury compact class vehicles” instead of the traditional rivals like the Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra/Sylphy, Mazda 3, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Cerato, Ford Focus, Volkswagen Jetta and the likes.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
6-speed manual? It wont available in malaysia,
Yeah, if want manual-box wait till the halfcut coming in from japan.
Like the previous civic FD/FB , some of them convert to manual box. Yeah , it is faster.
FD 1.8 SOHC with manual box faster than FD 2.0 auto DOHC
on the straight run.With some tuning, higher comp, higher RPM, advance ignition timing, it can gain 10-20hp depend on the modification on the car.
Just finish the warranty first before doing all that ;)
Please, please, please bring the 6 speed manual civic turbo to Malaysia.
Now one can only wish Honda Malaysia would try to capture the niche of Honda buyers who would buy a manual Civic other than the Type R. VTEC turbo and CVT? Emm..
Hopefully the specs mirrors the US version, and not just the looks.
Honda CVT is so boring…u cant feel the redline…if manual then u will be stressed in Klang Valley..better buy new Polo with new badge of DSG or nissan juke (i know it is small) , Clio GT 1.2 turbo or any turbo with better gearbox. im talking in the sense of driving in Klang Valley but still want to feel the non manual turbo
Autobox without torque converter also boring to drive.
New Civic coming with new CVT with torque converter, it is gonna be fun to drive as it paired with the torquey turbocharged engine.
Its gonna pull the car better than the autobox,
But still, DSG is faster.reliability is an issue.
But this is not a performance car, but a daily car.
CVT is a good choice as a daily car, cheaper to run, realiable , comfortable yet efficient.
purist overjoyed, cvt for civic is unnatural..
I agreed, but
just wait & test it when it reached the showroom.
We never know how its feel,
well, this this all new civic from ground up.
I don’t see Honda challenging the Conti big boys.
Yes Honda can benchmark against them. C class middle car wannabe.. not top executive toy.. prestige and class like silver arrow.
Emm…significant element of annoyance and anxiety..i like!
Sooooo you are comparing a Civic with Mercedes Benz C class….. right…. Perhaps it is only you that thinks Honda is fighting to be compared to luxury car level. So that will make Altis, Jetta, Sylphy, Cruze, Elantra, Cerato, Lancer, Mazda 3, Focus, Fluence, Preve and all C-segment cars from other brands shall be benchmarked against C class, 3 Series and A4 huh. You have a fantastic line of thought dude.
Oh and Honda worldwide revenue in 2015 is higher than BMW so in other words it has managed to challenge one of the conti big boys. Other than that Toyota has all the while been ahead of all the conti big boys in revenue.
honda themself benchmark against c class.
u better read more before talking so sarcastic.
Design suks like batmobile
