Powerful, Fuel-Efficient 2.0-liter Engine (LX, Sport)

What’s the Benefit?

This powerplant provides satisfying responsiveness and fuel efficiency³⁶ while helping to minimize the impact on air quality.

The Feature:

Honda engineers have taken another big leap in efficiency and power production with the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder.

• This DOHC gem features Variable Timing Control (VTC) on both the intake and exhaust camshafts.
• In concert with the i-VTEC^® system, this engine’s extreme level of variability allows it to simulate Atkinson-cycle valve timing during low-load operation for remarkable fuel efficiency.
• And when big power is called for, such as during acceleration and hill-climbing, this high-compression powerplant responds with 158 peak horsepower.
• Extraordinary attention has been paid to reducing friction within the engine and its accessory systems.
• Sophisticated monitoring of the engine’s combustion helps assure low-emission performance to help minimize its impact on the environment.
