How many cylinders are in a Honda Civic engine?

Honda Civic
comes standard with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine capable of 158 horsepower. But in mid-level and upper trim levels like the EX and EX-L, an optional 1.5-liter turbocharged engine is available.

Otherwise, you’ll want to set your sights on the plucky
Honda Pilot
(a crossover SUV that comes with a larger 3.5-liter V6 engine). The latest Honda Odyssey
also comes standard with a 3.5-liter V6 engine, although its minivan status may not deliver the type of performance you’re looking for. If you’re craving power in your Civic, opting for the turbo engine may be the perfect compromise. But turbocharged cars don’t just increase your max speed—they can also raise insurance rates. That’s because they’re an added risk to insurance companies, who view faster vehicles as a greater incentive for unsafe driving habits. On top of higher
