2012 Dodge Grandville/ 2012 Fiat Freemont - Asian Market

The 2012 Fiat Freemont 2.4 engine will be offered in the Philippines. This model will be rebadge as a 2012 Dodge Grandville here in the country. Also, this will be the first time that Fiat will introduced an MPV/SUV model here in Asia, as the usual sedan that we all know that was offered in Europe. The 2.4 engine will have a 175 horsepower and 225 NM of torque; and it will be equipped with 6-speed automatic gearbox. A very apparent on this model is the new 10-spoke 17" alloy wheels, compared to the previous model which is a 5-spoke wheel. Other features available on the new 2012 Dodge/Fiat Freemont/Granville are 7/3 zone airconditioning, bluetooth, auto-sensor headlights, parking sensors, keyless start entry, and cruise control; I think, the tire-pressure monitoring system will be the new feature added to this vehicle.

Honda Motors: All-New 2012 Honda Civic Asian Version

Last month I posted the 2012 Honda Civic for European Market, which, I think you can buy it through gray market. I am hoping that Honda Motors will provide the Asian Market with a All-New Honda Civic. But then again in one month, I received a news that Honda already released the 2012 Honda Civic for Asian Market.





I was so curious because what is the new stuff and features that this Honda Civic is different from the previous version, which is a minor change in tail-light and front grille.




So there it was saw the 2012 Honda Civic, the first impression about the car is; the design is similar to US version of the 2012 Honda Civic. They made kinda boxier on the aesthetics, similar to the facelift version of the Honda Jazz. On the rear, its very similar to the Honda Accord, small version that is, and the front taken also from the Honda Accord also.

On the engine department, the 2012 Honda Civic will have two options; one is the i-VTEC 1.8-liter engine which will provide a maximum horsepower of 130 to 140 horsepower, and the other one is a i-VTEC 2.0-liter engine which produce a 150 horsepower; they are using a R series Honda engines again; thought a new engine series is gonna be release on this model. From I observation, that Honda is focusing on the fuel-efficiency of their cars, because of the rising of fuel in the market. Automatic and Manual transmission are available on this model.





If you are planning to buy a new Honda Civic, I recommend that you hold first your money and wait for the new 2012 Honda Civic, which will be sold to dealership. As you can see this is the exact image of the 2012 Honda Civic.
