Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) is making radical moves for what is undoubtedly its most iconic model. First making its debut earlier this year in the United States, the all-new 2022 Honda Civic has finally made its way into the Philippines in a relatively quick time.

A 1.5-liter inline-four VTEC Turbo gasoline engine powers all Civic variants for the first time, and this move singlehandedly makes the Civic line up the most powerful in the compact car class. While it's the same engine that was exclusive to the 10th generation Civic RS, Honda upgraded the engine to now produce 178 hp (+6 hp) and 240 Nm (+20 Nm) of torque.
