The all-new 10th-generation Honda Civic represents a significant step forward for Honda in the C-segment, benefiting from the largest single model development programme in the company’s history.
The Civic is a core model for Honda in Europe and has been at the heart of the brand’s strong sales and manufacturing heritage in the region. For many European customers, the Civic is synonymous with the Honda brand and the development team targeted a dynamic rejuvenation of Civic. This aim demanded new thinking and new approaches to body construction, vehicle aerodynamics, and chassis design.
Building on its 40-year heritage, the car stays true to the original Civic concept of ‘a car for all people, a car for the world’. It is a marriage of distinctive design, sporty styling, and versatile practicality, with a renewed focus on rewarding driving dynamics. The purposeful silhouette makes a confident statement about the Civic’s sporty character.
Wider, longer, and lower than any of its predecessors, the all-new Civic has short overhangs and taut lines that reference the high levels of aerodynamic efficiency. A sharp and aggressive ‘face’, pronounced wheel-arches and sculpted front and rear intakes hint at the Civic’s sporting character. The all-new Civic has been engineered from the ground up to fulfil the promise of agile and rewarding dynamics.
A lightweight, highly rigid bodyshell, the product of innovative new engineering and construction techniques complements the lower centre of gravity and a sophisticated new suspension system in contributing directly to an engaging and fun driving experience. The entirely new interior features an uncluttered layout, new technologies, exceptional refinement, and high-grade materials with a lower seating position to give the driver a greater feeling of connection with the car.
The second-generation of Honda’s infotainment and connectivity system – Connect – incorporates Apple, CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The all-new Civic debuts two all-new VTEC Turbo gasoline engines that have been developed specifically to deliver a powerful, engaging, and efficient driving experience.
The Honda Sensing suite of advanced safety and driver-assistance technologies may be specified across the range which would ensure the car is among the very safest in its class.
