Honda Civic Configurations

Engine Specs of the 2020 Civic

With the Honda Civic, you’ll have the choice between two engines. The standard power source is the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. This generates 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. With the base LX trim level, this also achieves an EPA-estimated 30 city/38 highway MPG rating for LX CVT and Touring trims, for efficient driving wherever you go.¹

There’s also the available 1.5L 4-cylinder engine with turbocharger that provides an even more exciting driving experience. This engine creates 174 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Along with its powerful output, this engine has an EPA-estimated 32 city/42 highway MPG in the EX and EX-L trims.¹

Optimized Performance

The 2020 Civic also has a couple different options when it comes to the method of how it sends that engine power to the wheels. With the standard Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), the Civic will be able to fluidly provide the power needed while also staying conscious of the amount of fuel being used.

This results in smooth, quick acceleration while also giving you the impressive fuel economy figures we mentioned above. You can even add available paddle shifters to the CVT, which lets you control the engine power when you need to quickly speed up or slow down.

The Honda Civic also has an available 6-speed manual transmission for full control over the delivery of engine power. Switch through each gear and enjoy a spirited and sporty drive in the Honda Civic with this available manual transmission.
