Everywhere where 2L NA is offered in Civic and basically on LHD market, 2L are the lower trims. Like in US, 2L NA are base two trims while top two trims are 1.5T.
Anyways, I remember back in 2016 before the launch of Civic X, dealers were taking prebooking and Turbo was new thing . 87 octane was the regular fuel on pump back then as standard fuel. 91 octane was not yet shifted.
Pakistani Dealers who were taking bookings were saying you can use regular 87 octane in Turbo because a USDM uses 87. Keep in mind Pakistan shifted to 91 in November 2016. Before that all pumps had 87 as standard fuel. So, basically dealers were sharing inaccurate information.
Well they didn't know that USDM fuel pumps dont reflect RON, it is [R+M]/2 also known as AKI. A USDM 87 means 91 octane. USDM Civic owner manual mentioned 87 but that 87 is actually RON 91 after conversation.
Briefly, yes a 2L and 1.8L in possible in upcoming PKDM Civic . Is it coming for sure ? Well .. we can only assume at this time. I will not take dealers information regarding 2L much serious.
