Honda Malaysia has launched a new Ride The Dream teaser website for the new Honda Civic 1.5 Turbo, which gives us a glimpse at what the upcoming C-segment sedan will offer in terms of specifications.
The first slide teases the Civic 1.5 Turbo’s LED headlamps and daytime running lights. These headlamps are one spec up compared to the halogen projector headlamps that might be offered on non-turbo variants of the car in Malaysia.
Next up is of course the engine – a 1.5 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to a CVT gearbox that produces 173 hp and 220 Nm of torque. The C-segment is filled with downsized turbocharged engines, but they are all European cars (Jetta, 408, Focus). This will be the first Japanese C-segment sedan to come with such a powertrain.
We recently ran a video from the Thai market comparing the 1.5 Turbo variant against a Civic with a normally aspirated 141 hp, 174 Nm 1.8 litre engine – watch it here.
The rest of the specs featured include an eight-way adjustable power seat, six airbags, VSA electronic stability control, an electric parking brake, auto brake hold, and an Walk Away Auto Lock feature that automatically locks your car when you walk away from it.
Last but not least, there’s also a remote engine start feature which should be useful when you want to start the engine and air conditioning to cool down the car before you reach it.
Registration for interest is open, so visit the Ride The Dream microsite and click the red “I Share The Same Dream” button to sign up.

Where is Najib’s Promise to reduce car prices? Is Rm150k very affordbale to people? Maybe to someone who has sapu RM2.6 billion, RM150k is small money. To most of us, RM150k is life time of savings.
Honda is owned by DRB aka crony GLC. It is up to the Government to reduce the price of this car.
Toyota can really drop their underwear this time
Welcome back! And oh yeah. Forrester from RM211k to Rm 145k. 31% price down. Mana excuse RBA?
Mass turbo breakdown and recall awaiting. NA still most reliable.
Not impressed with honda anymore. Even hyundai can do 204 hp and 265nm torque from a 1.6 in the Elantra. The Japanese no more special. The vtec is no more special
Welcome civic turbocor!!!!!!!
Rm130k in Msia, Rm68k in AUS. Msia Mazda 3 from rm106k, Jetta rm90k
Please gahmen reduce car price for Honda Civic become RM70k and i don’t mind raised roadtax to RM3/cc and impose additional petrol tax at RM2/L!!
Yea u realize the Jetta is actually a promo price to sell old stock rite from last year???
Do you know that Sarawak is having election? Maybe this is the reason why it is rm1.70
Haha ha .. you don’t need to say do you know..
Everyone knew it before you ask..
Jetta 1.4??!!! Pls stop helping VW on lying to consumers..sigh
So you don’t even know the engine offered for the jetta in malaysia yet you want to come and argue here? SMH
Yea, but I know 2 years old/30,000km TSI pistons cracked
Did you know mitsubishi also lied? All car manufacturers lied la bro dont be so dumb wtf… do not reproduce please…
Jetta is 1.4, 160hp 240nm.. At high speed of 256km/h also very stable no problem..
Is more stable if it wears 17″ or 18″ ll
Stock can’t reach that speed and because the weight of the car, high speed is definitely stable.
Seriously John, please do some research before even starting any argument here. You are making yourself an embarrassment in PaulTan.org
Jetta’s engine is 1.4 TSI. Same as my golf 1.4 TSI. Can’t even do a simple google check eh?
Btw what VW has lied is about diesel emission test results. Irrelevant to this TSI thing.
Jetta TSI is one of the best selling model by VW across countries due to its space and versatility.
Buy Jetta I will gip free 3 years free towing service. T&C applied.
Jetta 1400cc but drinks fuel like lembu minum air
samtowtruck, tow truck is free if your car is still under warranty.
7km/l, if heavy foot your car all the time, of course will drink fuel like lembu. This applies to all type of cars.
one front bulb passat c.c. if blew or malfunction cost you RM1.3k right.. just one bulb. somebody..?
Why do you people only ever talk about power but not weight?!
Power figures does not tell everything. Off the line about 7 seconds is no slouch. Probably the fastest among all mentioned above
Fast but dun have good handling awso no use.
u said power, but u are listing torque instead? Honda 1.5T 173 horsepower vs Jetta 1.4 TSI 158 horsepower, Focus 1.5 Ecoboost 178 horsepower, Mazda3 2.0 162 horsepower.
Anyone drives turbo car will know it needs both HP and NM to measure against its weight to determine the performance la.
So you can read the brochure? Good job! You deserve a pat on your back. However, this will be “news” for you, sir. Check out this real world dyno test on the 2016 Civic 1.5 Turbo tested and verified by Hondata tuning company: https://youtu.be/-t30I6DBdiU
News for you, the Civic 1.5T pumps out 177HP (at the wheels/WHP) with a whooping 190lb-ft or about 257Nm.
Looks like everyone knows now…
Better than CFE turbo.
I am a nightmarer, with the nightmare that rebadging the OLD Accord comes with heavy criticism from Paul Tan followers that can’t be missed.
Junk engine. 1nzfe is much better. Can do 350Nm
My car can always fly to overtake Jetta Civic Focus Gti

“Talk-cock” lah… $140k of what?
Air liur! Balik tunggang ko punya kacai ler!
Ahahaha! Looks like dear Albert Yong has to retreat his Samy dupe and bring back RBA john to pitifully create hate against me. Anyways welcome RBA! We missed u.
Here ladies and gentlemen is the definition of “lips glued so hard to an ass that you can’t see anything else but the ass”…
Malaysian car prices cheapest in the world.. top cake man.. bravo
Wow…140K is cheap.. No wonder i can afford 2 landcruiser worth rm680.. U only can afford 140K? Haha.. Seems like 9 years loan and 10%dp..
Baik beli used c200 kompressor can do 270Nm
lol used
Rm150k for a small C class sedan? Don’t talk about the 1.5 Turbo engine. RM150k to most Malaysians is ridiculous. In US, 1.5 Turbo Civic is US$24k. Without calculating to ringgit, US$24k is considered small money. Even the kuli who sapu leaves on the roadside earns US$24k per annum. that is how small US$24k is in US.
In Malaysia RM150k is huge money. Amongst the car buyers, only say 10% of car buyers can afford RM150k. So, why is this car so expensive? Where is Najib’s promise to reduce car prices by 30%??
Before the lection, Najib promised to reduce car prices by 30% if Malaysians voted for BN. Najib went on record to say he was 100% sure to reduce car prices and he said BN always kept their word. He said BN never cheated people at all.
3 years have passed and we see car prices going higher and higher. Nearly all car brands raised their prices more than RM5000. Already car prices are such a big burden to all of us, somemore car prices have gone higher.
Government lies to us saying it is up to the brands to lower car prices. But the truth is, nearly every car company in Malaysia is owned by the Malaysian Government. BMW by Sime Darby GLC, Honda by DRB GLC, Hyundai by Sime Darby GLC, Toyota by UMW GLC etc etc
Forrester Rm211k to Rm145k. 31% price down. cukur.
Aiyoh John… 215 is for XT lar…Diff specs. You are comparing apple dengan orange.
No one said that Najibs promise must be the same exact car. A Forrester is a Forrester, and not comparing it with XV.
So its still apple to apple (just Granny Smith to Fuji).
I will not buy any new car since 45% of the price is actually going to the government. If civic is 140k, trust me 60k will go to Najib.
And he still wants us to pay toll, high petrol price and GST. Fuc*Ed left and right, top and bottom. Dem.
pretty well spec, no autonomous braking is expected
so 130k?
155k
155k also affordable. But you must work hard like me. I can buy 155k anytime.
People who cannot afford RM155k are just pure lazy in life. Come on, payments only RM1800 a month. You mean you cannot afford RM1800 per month?
Again.. 155K? Haha..i can buy 20 155K car cash easily..
City also got rear aircond vent but this Civic big brother don’t have? Apa logic?
Dia tulis situ more revelation to come. Aiya. Tara baca ka?
More revelation is after 3 months will bocor
You papa your mama your uncle your neighbour cars didnt even have rear aircond, weirdly they lived longer than most youngsters. Not to mention smarter.
Apa kaitan aircond and safety?
Not related la
Since when rear aircond can make people smarter and safer?
Memang tak logik
Asian logic.
This civic have rear aircond vent for malaysia market.
Please wait the details brouchure from HondaMalaysia
How about d price….mampu tgk….wait 4 d 2nd and
live within your means. If you can afford kancil, just buy kancil
Well said. Be like Same Loo, buy Saga for his son although himself is ‘long service’ UMW Toyota salesman (if he say he got Camry, that car is actually FOC from his ‘beloved’ company for their long serving staff, try buying Camry from own money, that one is different story).
Aiyaaaaa electronic parking brake……how to drift?
You do not drift with a FWD car, that’s logic.
Who say FWD cannot? Walao so RICER la you
Vios can maaa….shame on civic hahahaha cannot show off even “turbo engine”
seems like no rear aircon vent for thai spec turbo, now 35c everyday, big let down
mau order usb fan sama saya? free 1 kotak ketul ais 7E
then will kapoom and get OKU card
So sad……no Honda Sensing
Got fatal takata airbags or not?
Its just below 130k, they priced it just below accord
Buyers, please call me when you’re by the roadside due to CVT failure. I’ll come over and take a selfie with you and your car.
Oh yeah, we will call u!. Pls don’t keep quiet & give us ur actual phone numnber!
Question…
If you switch off the air conditioning when you exit your vehicle, would it automatically turn on when you remote start the engine?
Aircond honda tak sejuk macam proton
So where r the bashers that said Gov wun allow HM to bring in Civic turbo?
This one?
http://paultan.org/2016/01/05/honda-rd-chief-defines-future-powertrain-direction-turbo-engines-not-likely-for-majority-of-sea-markets/
walk away auto lock this feature last year already have it in mazda 2 la, it’s not fresh anymore, even mazda it self also dint promote this point to sale their car lol
Mazda force you to pay 5k more to get the LED headlights and DRL.
before mazda2 lunching, every1 bising said no DRL, bla bla and some stupid ppl also aid rather to pay more to get the DRL , ok so mazda decide to release DRL , and still got stupid jump out and said mazda force them to pay extra 5k for DRL ? what a joke, are this malaysian attitude?
no honda sensing. all gimmick features.
but many honda rice boys gonna buy
Will only consider buying if Honda sensing is included.
Wait for facelift lor. Maybe.
Nice car. Enthusiastic malaysian surely squeeze more out of it factory output. Been a while since paul tan write anything…
Hope the price will below Focus EcoBoost
Just a piece of shit, just like a toyota, price not suit with spec. Not even a luxury car, ah beng god car
The reason is not because it’s shit. It’s a good car but the price is BMW pricing because of Proton.
Kenapa thailand civic top spec rm139k.
Salah proton ke
kalau rm tak jatuh, full spec kat thailand rm119k je bro tak smpi rm139k pon
No use oso, the price is still not below 100k
Thai no proton still expensive la
In SG, axia is the price of a BMW.
Mahal la…… Orang berlagak aje nak keta gini.. Pakai honda rasa diri hebat..
kenapa tiba2 melantun-lantun ni bro?
Atas jalan kena tarpau dengan myvi vios
Mehhh. The interior looks outdated already. smh Honda.
I’ll be surprised if they can sell it at 130k considering the Thai version costs 131k after conversion and usually for our price we will have to top up 10k on top of their price. HM will have to do some magic to get a good price.
Better than your disease car
The real junk will be 316i, only 134hp!!!
i hope Msians don’t treat these engines like 4G63T lol
That engine bay is a mess -.-‘
Doesn’t matter if the engine is powerful and get good fuel economy. Come on, nobody looks at the engine bay everyday don’t you ?
agreed, why not cover it up with proper cover?
Selling at RM80k in 90% of the countries worldwide. But thanks to Ah Pek M Proton, Malaysians can buy this beauty at only RM268,888. Cheap cheap only.
Ah pek always compare developed countries with bolehland, duh.
In SG, Axia is Rm 275k. SG alwiz butt of jokes
i have sense that someone will upload their proud video series of, civic 1.5 turbo tapau nissan gtr, civic 1.5T rembat la ferrari, new civic turbo smoke lambo kaw2 bla,bla, bla…
Then after that probably will have loads of people complaining CVT overheat. lol.
This is the bare minimum specifications that all cars sold in Malaysia should be. Nothing to shout about. While in other countries, people showcase about newer active safety feature, we are stuck with airbag count and LED DRL as an outstanding features. Sigh…
In MY we still have pipu talk about how much coffin we can get out of our car as compared to better safety features.
So cant fault makers to gip what the consumer wants, a better valued coffin for whole famili
I think it’s sad that having 6 airbags is something to shout about in Malaysia. In developed countries, it’s EXPECTED.
but we ARE NOT DEVELOPED , deal with it !
Carmakers LOVE people like you who apologise on behalf of them and take whatever crap they throw at us.
Suprima S better.
I wonder if Hyundai will launch the Elantra Sport 1.6 Turbo here. That thing will have 200hp. Will make an interesting comparison.
The price can’t be more expensive than Basic Honda Accord 2.0 right.
the car interior looks dirty… -_-
anyone has 0-100KM acceleration time?
You buy car for racing on roads?
6.8-7.0 seconds
Why so slow?
malaysia car standard car price bracket irregardless of quality of parts/import/export actual cost of manufacturing…
non malaysian car brand
80-90k
100k-130k
130k-150k
we can see their prices always drop into these few brackets…
you might as well just say 80-150k
Should I just buy mazda3 now or wait for this?
Mazda3 has nice interior and quality as well. I believe skyactiv technology is good…
Buy a NA engine car. Turbo don’t last in Malaysian hot & sudden wet weather. The maintenance is also way higher vs NA engines. Unless you plan to sell the turbo car within 3 yrs….do some research in the use car list & you will see what I’m talking about.
Later you complain pulak why this car is so crampy, lol
skyactive good. my concern is low profile tire & 18″ rim.
tested 1.5 ecoboost, damn damn nice torque and handling, will trade in my wife old mazda 2 for it ….tested x-trail 2.5 NA cvt, it is like kura-kura…
Sked to wait months for spare parts
How many John are there actually all in all? Including otak batu?
Well, theres me (that luv to troll the trolls), theres a more level-headed one but he sometimes come in, and then theres my RBA clonetroopers who try to smear me by talking bollocks. Some knows him as Albert Yong.
All commenters here are one person
Ikut kemampuan masingmasing. Tk mampu just lihat. Mampu + minat then go buy la .
everybody knows what the reality is and still ther are people voting and supporting them …. s#sayaanakmalaysia
All colors are available in Thailand now i kinda like the silver since there are so many on the road surely in 1 or 2 years time i can come across a used one, i can wait, new car tax here is high
if i were to get a turbo, i would consider a simple 6 speed manual, AWD, mechanical hand brake with minimal fancy dashboard & interior & a 2 door hatch.
Adui. Come out from under the coconut shell lar bro.
