The '''E-series''' was a line of inline four-cylinder [[automobile]] engines designed and built by [[Honda]] for use in their cars in the 1970s and 1980s. These engines were notable for the use of [[CVCC]] technology, introduced in the ''ED1'' engine in the 1975 Civic, which met 1970s [[emissions standard]]s without using a [[catalytic converter]].

The CVCC ''ED1'' was on the [[Ward's 10 Best Engines#20th Century|Ward's 10 Best Engines of the 20th century]] list.
