Honda announced a slew of new engine technology today. Earlier we told you about Honda’s clean diesel engine and now the company is saying its tried and true VTEC gasoline engine has been radically improved. The technical aspects of the improvement are a bit complex but all buyers have to know is that the Advanced VTEC will see an estimated 13% improvement in fuel efficiency while being more powerful and cleaner.
The current VTEC engine in cars like the Honda Civic gets 30/40 mpg city/highway and can also be tuned to focus on performance in models like the Civic Si. Honda says this new generation of VTEC will be used in a production car in the next three years. A Japanese Accord Euro R is shown here, known as the Acura TSX in the U.S. market. We think the engine will be more than worthwhile; we just would like to see it sooner.
