(11th Gen) Honda Civic

2022 Honda Civic now in Thailand with 1.5L turbo only

Turbo na rin kaya lahat ng PHDM Civic?

I think HondaPH should release an all turbo civic lineup. This segment is quickly dying and giving the turbo treatment might lessen the bleeding.

... if only those who profess to want to buy it,
will step up with the money and actually buy the thing.
then, it becomes as common as the... camry?
heh heh.

what am i saying..!...

They should be. Look at Geely's PH lineup they are all SUVs that killing the popularity of compact sedans. Almost all of them had 1.5L turbocharged engines. Also some other chinese crossovers has this turbocharging trend as well.

Or they will bring out the upcoming BRV with the same turbo engine as the Civic.

Based on my experience with these Chinese crossovers, they are built well and workmanship is better for a Japanese brand of the same price range.

We have a Mitsubishi ASX, one of the more recent ones (2017 model). It fairs less in terms of features and interiors against the Geely Coolray and Ford Territory. The Geely Coolray top end model even has a lower price compared to the SRP of the ASX back in 2017.

No point comparing electronics stuff as most are made in China now. IPhones, TVs, laptops, and gadgets are all manufactured in China. People care more about the brand and care less where it’s made.

The first-world countries are to blame for China’s success in manufacturing. They made China richer than it could imagine. Years back, almost every big company put their manufacturing plants in China. Of course, China will learn the technology and market them as their own. Now, China companies are buying big foreign companies.

It could have been the Philippines instead of China. However, our dear elected officials are more concerned in pushing their personal agenda than the country. Talk about loyalty. Bahala kayo dyan basta ako magkapera.

Yep, grabe ang mararating ng bansa natin if we were on their shoes instead but to a lesser extent if size is considered. And regarding domestic politicians, well. Ika-nga, pinoy nagpapahirap sa kapwa pinoy.

Ito yata ang reason why Chinese cars have a max of 1.5L engines.

For PH -> all about the taxes

Pero I read an article earlier (sorry can't find the link) na in China, manufacturers also would get a tax incentive if their car has a 1.5L engine and below. Kaya a lot of their cars are 1.5L tapos either turbo or mild-hybrid to support na lang.

no complains about Chinese cars. my personal concern is local support.

I've mentioned a million times na for now, the only Chinese car brand I can personally buy is Maxus because its under the AC Industrials.

Kahit anong sabihin ng iba na Chinese yung Territory and (local) VW cars. maayos pa din local backing nya.

Territory will be supported by Ford Philippines and (based on experience) I have no complains with previous experiences owning Hondas and Isuzus

If a sedan costs 1.1M and the Geely Okavango is 1.2M, ano ang pipiliin ng buyer?

IMO, depends on the buyer.

My family as a sample.
I will choose the Sedan, my wife and daughter will choose the Crossover/SUV

if isang isa lang... we will choose the sedan

hmmm, are we getting an all-Turbo line-up for the local Civic? or will Honda PH use Toyota PH's tried and tested formula in using the previous gen's engine line-up?
