Base engine for North America will be a twin-cam VTEC 2.0L four cylinder, while the higher end Type R model will get a 1.5L four cylinder turbo. Six speed manual or a CVT will be the transmission choices for the base version Civic. No power specifications on the base engine have yet been disclosed.
Rumor has it that the next generation Type R Civic around two years away will receive a 2.0L turbo engine with around 300 horsepower (only be offered with a six-speed manual).
