Honda models 20168/19/2023 A rear lip spoiler adds a sporty flair to the EX-T and above trims. While in back, LED "light pipe" taillights continue the wing design motif of the headlights in an unmistakable new Civic persona. Behind the sweeping roofline and C-pillars, the flush-mounted rear window is sleek and shallow, aiding to the new model's aerodynamic efficiency. The side glass is flush with the pillars to reduce wind noise in the cabin, while also improving the quality feel of the new Sedan. Panel gaps are minimized and the B-pillars are black-finished, with stainless trim surrounding the side windows to visually emphasize the sweeping cabin shape. The windshield is flush-mounted to the cowl, improving aerodynamics and quieting the interior. The new larger and wider wheel and tires further emphasize Civic's purposeful stance, while the long wheelbase, short overhangs and sweeping cabin greenhouse further add to the dynamic feel of the exterior. A second, lower character line extends from behind the front wheels up through the doors and meets the rear wheel arches, emphasizing the dynamic and emotional design. The muscular, high-tension side profile soars upward from the front wheel arches rearward, with a decisive character line rising through both doors and through the rear wheel arches. In front, aggressive aerodynamics, LED daytime running lights and an available in-line LED headlight array lend the new Civic a modern demeanor. Lower, longer, wider and more muscular than the previous generation, its flowing lines, new signature chromed "wing" front fascia and available premium LED lighting, extended wheelbase and short overhangs brand the new Civic as a leader in its class, both technologically and in design. Stylistically, the 10th generation Civic Sedan represents an exciting and dramatic advancement of Honda's longest-running model. Civic models powered by the new turbocharged 1.5-liter engine are designated as the EX-T, EX-L (with leather-trimmed interior) and new line-topping Civic Touring, which reaches higher into the upper end of the compact car market than ever before. Civic models powered by the new 2.0-liter i-VTEC™ engine are designated as the Civic LX and EX trims. Virtually everything about the 2016 Civic Sedan is new - an all-new vehicle architecture, sporty and sophisticated new interior and exterior styling, a more spacious and high-quality cabin, two advanced new engines, and a host of new premium features and technologies.įurther, with the addition of Honda Sensing™ safety and driver-assistive technologies and the first application of Honda turbo engine technology to Civic, the 2016 Civic Sedan offers buyers a wider range of options than ever before. The result of these efforts is a completely reimagined and reinvented new Civic, the sportiest Civic ever, and a new benchmark in the compact class in terms of spaciousness, fuel efficiency, safety features, interior quality and dynamic performance. Their evaluation of the world's best products involved extensive real-world testing, ultimately targeting European luxury vehicles for the new Civic's ride, handling, steering and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness), and also its interior quality and refinement.Īchieving these lofty aims while meeting requirements for an affordable compact car, in terms of cost, fuel efficiency and manufacturability, stretched the limits of the global Civic team's engineering capability and demanded new thinking and new approaches to body construction, vehicle aerodynamics, powertrain and chassis design. In seeking to realize a "dynamic rejuvenation" of Civic and create a new interpretation "in a league of its own," as the development team defined its mission, Honda engineers set out early during platform development to benchmark the world's best C-segment vehicles-not only products in Civic's traditional competitive set, but luxury compact class vehicles such as well. While the development of the Civic Sedan was led by a North American team - a first for Honda and Civic - the overall Civic series involves design and engineering teams from Honda R&D, sales and manufacturing operations around the world, especially in North America and Japan, but also in Europe, South America and Asia. The creation of the 10th-generation Honda Civic represents one of the most comprehensive and ambitious new-model developments ever undertaken by Honda, requiring an unprecedented commitment of R&D resources and Honda engineering prowess.
