, Honda has decided to discontinue the RS Turbo variant, at least for the Thai market. Taking its place as the top-of-the-line variant for Honda’s compact sedan is the Civic RS e:HEV., it seems this potent gasoline-hybrid engine is now making its way around the world. Now, the ASEAN region, starting with Thailand will benefit from Honda’s electrified push as well. The Civic e:HEV produces 183 horsepower and 315 Nm of torque—more than the Civic Turbo.
The engine is controlled by a new, compact Power Control unit which now sits under the hood with the rest of the powertrain. Sitting under the rear seats is the latest version of Honda’s Intelligent Power Unit and whilst smaller and lighter, it benefits from an increased energy density. For fans of the turbocharged 1.5-liter, Honda Thailand has kept the turbocharged engine for the mid-grade EL+ and the entry-level EL.
