The new version has a 1.5 L Turbo,’ explained Orangeville Honda’s General Sales Manager James Cooke. ‘This new engine produces 190 horsepower and 179 ft.-lbs of torque. The torque is really up with a smaller engine. It’s also intercooled, which cools the air going into the turbocharger. There’s an automatic shutter system that feeds the intercooler. Once you hit 70 km, there’s an automatic shutter that closes and gives the car a more aerodynamic profile. These are really advanced to give the best fuel economy. The fuel efficiency is incredible.
