What are the features of the Honda Civic?

One of the most prestigious models in the automotive world, the Honda Civic also attracts the attention of many car enthusiasts. It is likely that the Civic, which looks much sportier than other models in its segment, evokes a different feeling in car enthusiasts. The Civic, manufactured at Honda's factory in Çayırova, Kocaeli, was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 2015 and went on sale in our country in 2016. The Civic, perhaps in celebration of its tenth generation, is successfully presented to us with an unconventional design. Honda's statement, "The best of all time," confirms this. The enlarged dimensions of the Civic sedan compared to its previous generation and its lower stance significantly contribute to its sportier appearance. 

Honda Civic Design

Like every model, it has design lines similar to its previous generation, but it doesn't show it much due to the radical changes. The most striking detail on the front of the Civic is the large chrome piece on the front grille. This chrome piece, which also partially incorporates the Honda emblem, continues above the headlights. The bulging edges of the hood, along with the stylishly designed bumper, contribute to the Civic's more powerful and dynamic appearance in its tenth generation. Additionally, the LED technology headlights and the L-shaped turn signals below the headlights add modernity to the Civic. When we look at the rear design of the Civic, the C-shaped taillights extending to the trunk lid add uniqueness to the model.   Looking at the Honda Civic from the side, the most significant factor contributing to its sporty look is the gradually sloping roofline. The roof practically ends towards the end of the trunk lid. And this gives the Civic a coupe-like feel.  

Honda Civic Interior

As we move to the interior of the Civic, a completely renewed design greets us. The car's instrument cluster is an analog screen in lower trim levels and a digital screen in higher trim levels. Similarly, the touchscreen on the center console is offered to the user as a 5-inch screen in lower trim levels and a 7-inch screen in higher trim levels. The quality of the materials used in the Civic has been noticeably increased compared to its ninth generation and is well beyond the expectations of its segment. Furthermore, the touch sensitivity of the volume up/down button on the steering wheel is a nice detail. The center console also features many compartments for storing your belongings.

Living Space and Comfort

Regarding the living space that the Civic sedan offers to the user, the Civic has a longer and wider structure compared to its previous generation. We can see the advantage of this in the legroom offered in the rear seats. We can say that the legroom offered by the Civic to its user is above its segment. The Civic is not as ambitious in terms of headroom as it is in legroom. Due to the car's design, the early sloping roofline slightly reduces headroom. However, it is not worse than its competitors. The Honda Civic has also reached a better level in terms of suspension comfort and insulation compared to its previous generation.

Technical Specifications

In our country, Honda's tenth generation is exclusively offered in sedan body style. While the hatchback version of the tenth generation is not yet available in the Turkish market, the ninth-generation Type R continues to be sold in hatchback form. The Civic sedan, with its width of 1785 mm, height of 1465 mm, and length of 4370 mm, has achieved more competitive dimensions in its segment with its increased size compared to its previous generation. The tenth-generation Honda Civic is offered in our country with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine, which Honda has been using for a long time and can also be equipped with an optional LPG kit. This engine can produce 125 PS of power and 152 NM of torque for you. You can get the Civic with this engine with either a manual transmission or an automatic CVT transmission, which was previously used in the Jazz model and is also used by Subaru. With the automatic transmission version of the Civic, your average fuel consumption will be around 8.5 liters. Regarding the automatic CVT transmission used in the Civic, it would not be wrong to describe it as a transmission focused more on comfort. While it will offer good performance when you want to drive dynamically, it's fair to say that it behaves a bit gently because it's comfort-oriented. In calm driving conditions, it performs its duty quite well. The Civic's trunk volume has been slightly improved compared to its previous generation, offering users a volume of 519 liters. The gasoline engine used in the Civic is a product that Honda has been using for a long time and is now behind in technology. According to the statements made during the launch of the tenth-generation Civic, Honda announced that in 2017, they would integrate a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with 182 PS power into the Civic with an automatic transmission. For the diesel demand in the Civic, Honda announced that a newly developed 1.6-liter engine producing 120 PS of power and 300 NM of torque would be integrated. However, no definitive information was given about when it would arrive in our country.

Honda Civic Overview

With the image it has left with its models so far, the Honda Civic is a car that many car enthusiasts dream of owning. The Honda Civic has a much sportier appearance than its competitors with its distinctive design, but the gasoline engine technology used by Honda in the Civic is behind the times. When Honda integrates its newly developed 1.5-liter 182 PS gasoline engine and 1.6-liter 120 PS diesel engine into the Civic, you will likely see Civics in many places.
