spoiler.

mm wide, 1,477 mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2,600 mm. Compared to the Griez,
it is 22 mm shorter in overall length. Powering the Honda Gienia will be a 1.5L
i-VTEC petrol engine producing 128.6 hp and 155 Nm of torque. A 5-speed
manual gearbox will be the standard transmission, while a CVT option would also
be available.
The Gienia will be manufactured by the
