The new 1.6 i-DTEC diesel version of the Honda Civic is making waves in the family car market thanks to a class-leading combination of power and efficiency.
The Honda Civic has long been a favourite with Irish buyers thanks to the quality, reliability, space and resale value it represents. For 2013, the new 1.6 i-DTEC engine has added class-leading emissions and fuel efficiency to the mix for an unbeatable package.
The secret to the new engine is that it is the first of the Honda Earth Dreams Technology series, a range of new engines and transmissions which set new standards for efficiency. The 1.6 i-DTEC is the lightest engine of its type in the World and utilises many unique and advanced design features to bring about gains in power and economy. Power and economy figures are both ahead of all key competitors, such as the VW Golf, meaning savings at the pumps every time you fill up.
‘The secret is out and sales of the new 1.6 i-DTEC engine are gathering momentum’ , said Frank Kennedy, Universal Honda Sales Director, ‘Leading the class in both power and fuel economy means that Civic appeals to both head and heart, it’s a car you can enjoy driving, yet it will still save you money at the pumps. Our sales for Civic have increased by over 50% so far this year, and we expect this growth to continue as buyers discover just how far ahead the Civic 1.6 i-DTEC is against the competition.'
The Civic also leads the class on standard equipment with a level of features that would usually only feature on higher grade models from competitors.
All Civic 1.6 i-DTEC models are equipped with Alloy wheels, Climate Control air conditioning, Alarm, Electric front and rear windows, Front Seat Central Armrest, Idle Stop technology, a 5" i-MID Colour Display Screen, LED daytime running lights and much more.
The ground-breaking Civic 1.6 i-DTEC is available to test drive today at your local Honda Dealership.
