The 2023 Honda Civic hits Malaysian roads with two engine options to suit different tastes. There's the peppy 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo four-cylinder, pushing out a solid 182 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque. On the other side, the 2.0-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder delivers 158 horsepower and 187 Nm, which is right up your alley if you prefer a smoother, more laid-back driving experience. Both engines benefit from Honda's clever i-VTEC tech, which sharpens up airflow for better efficiency and keeps fuel consumption in check - plus, they both meet Malaysia's Euro 5 emission standards. What's cool about the turbo is that it serves up max torque at lower revs, making those stop-start city commutes in Malaysia a breeze. The NA engine, though? Malaysian drivers have always loved the Civic for its reliability and sporty character, and the 2023 model steps things up with tweaks to sound insulation and suspension, really elevating the overall drive feel. With these two engine choices, Honda's giving buyers the flexibility to pick based on their budget and how they like to drive - smart move.
