After Thailand, Indonesia is the next ASEAN country to get the new Honda Civic, and the sedan was unveiled this afternoon at the 2016 Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS). But unlike in the Land of Smiles, the 10th generation Civic is available here in a single variant, the 1.5L Turbo. There’s no starter 1.8L NA model.
The Civic Turbo is powered by a 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo engine with 173 PS and 220 Nm of torque from 1,700 to 5,500 rpm. The Euro 4 DOHC 16-valve four-pot is mated to an Earth Dreams Technology CVT automatic gearbox with steering paddles. The all-independant suspension (front MacPherson struts, rear multi-links) is attached to 17-inch two-tone rims with 215/50 rubber, as seen in Bangkok.
One difference is the visible twin tailpipes of the Indonesian-spec Civic Turbo. There’s no actual change in the exhaust system and layout – the pipes were designed to be not visible – and PT Honda Prospect Motor merely tacked on stepped mufflers for a “sportier” look.
Also, instead of the “RS” badge used in Thailand, the Indonesian Civic sports a “VTEC Turbo” emblem on the bootlid. The optional Modulo rear wing seen here is shorter and more subtle than the raised, full-length Thai RS item. No black grille too.
The Civic Turbo here comes standard with LED headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, single-zone auto air con (dual in Thailand), eight-way powered driver’s seat (plus four-way powered passenger seat in Thailand), remote engine start, auto lights and wipers, keyless entry and push start, reverse camera, cruise control, electronic parking brake and six airbags, among other things.
The touchscreen head unit, while also measuring seven inches wide, differs from the factory Honda unit seen in Thai Civics. It’s an Android-based system with MirrorLink connection to smartphones. The system also has USB, HDMI and Bluetooth connectivity, plus navigation. Unlike the factory HU, the screen here is centralised with buttons on each side.
Available in five colours and an all-black interior, the new Honda Civic Turbo is priced at Rp. 475 million (RM141,502) in Indonesia. Modulo accessories, including the bodykit seen here, are available. The next ASEAN stop surely has to be Malaysia.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Everything is good. But cannot accept the design. So awkward
Honda San, godamn it !!! Why is Malaysia always last on list !!! Freaking hell…..bring it in , now, right now.
Paultan may i know what is Euro 4 Doch?
It is Civic still using engine EURO 4?
Proton TGDi i heard is Euro 6c emission?
you know why bro?
its because of this bn umno ruled government
they want more to study how to con the rakyat so that rakyat will get less spec car with exorbitant price
the day this bn umno goons gone thats the day freedom will reach automotive industry in malaysia
till then all of us just dream of owning quality cars.for those who love perodua and proton go and sleep
Yennadei thambi…which estate you come from?
I think the exterior is good. you know i’m 90’s kid, i’m young so i like everything new unlike some born in 80’s or 70’s below taste lol
the problem is you 90’s are not the main contributors in consumers market
old beef are the main contributors?! anyway i want to buy this car for my worker.
Proton better.
Tubro Cumpro Swiching enjin.
Whoops, i came on the floor…
The front face especially is damn Hideous. Post Accident Grille Design.
The damn Front face Hit a Tree and thats how it got the ugly dented look. If crash again in front also no need to repair. Haha
Haha the design team at Honda must have been drunk to agree to their current crop of Ugly Ass Shit design.
These jokers should hire Mazda’s Kodo design team. Stupid Japs. Even the Junk Ass Proton Preve and Myvi design looks better than this so called ‘New’ ugly civic. The ugly model b4 this model at least looks better.
The dashboard interiro copy Altis, overall profile copy Audi A5 Spotback, rear clearly shows its old platform and front like Batmobile
Your point is? Looks to me more like they merely took inspiration, not a blatant copy.
Front is nice, rear still cannot accept.
Malaysia when launching? All the MITI and MAI people all lepak, tidur and relaks. Semua OK dan Syukur!
OMG…damn special & look gorgeous. At least better than Altis & Slyhy.
Everything also complain this copy that,.. U must also be the copy of the asshole who complains everything in life
WTF… Indon also get 2016 New Honda Civic than Msia…?
So you know Malaysia market is smallest in ASEAN
Civic…what happened !! Terrible dashboard design
Apparently mak salleh hate the two tier design, thats why.
Me too.
What Msia become Asia Auto-Hub that Auto-Institutions-Association talk about…?
Gone are the days where civics were one of the top picked cars for mods. This one is a true blue family sedan with no Honda racing DNA in it. Want that? Pls buy our NSX haha
Why price so expensive?Honda forget its only 1.5l engine,despite the horsepower, yet normal user can’t use all Hp Mah,but all money used up for only 1.5?better buy altis
So expensive,i guess malaysia also 140k something….plan b ,buy axia better sia…
It’s turbocharged. Typical malaysian user doesn’t understand this. They only see “1.5”
Deiiiii…1.5 but its power & torque comparable to a 2.4ivtec….and its kicks out it max torque at very low rev instead of above 4,000rpm like the 2.4ivtec…. U still want a bigger cc car??
141.5k…so how much here? 160k?
Should be double. Our tax is 100%
When people don’t hv money to buy,a lot of negativity come out to condenm any product.Pity.Just drive your your 10years old myvi quietly lah
Dont be an idiot bro and limit to only the Junk Scrap Myvi. Now have Piccanto. Despite its size and Brand image. If anything happens its still a safer car than the useless Myvi.
Mat saleh and africans dont even have a shitty myvi there bro. They have Fiestas,Piccantos and even the Jazz.
Expect the 1.5L turbo to be RM150K when it reach here. Lots of equipment may also be stripped out.
Only single zone aircond? For the pricing of RM141k, should get dual zone aircond. Look at US model and it’s pricing.

When in bolehland, no turbo … NA only 2.0 & 1.8!
Looks like Indonesian got the most stripped down Civic. Like Indon Honda City with aftermarket lcd instead of Honda Factory Unit, no HFT & bluetooth cost 99k while ours with all bells and whistles priced at 92k.
Yeah because tax for sedan in indonesia is expensive
Mana SG punya!? Why SG always get it last!? Ini mesti semua salah P1/ BN/ PAP/ LKY/ Najib/ LSL/ Melei/ ……
Dont be so bitter
Don’t forget Mara or uitm.hahaha.Stupid.Go back to mainland lah
luxury tax for sedan in indonesia is 30%, while the other segment is 10 %, that why its expensive
eh…but indo version has twin exhaust pipes….thai version tak ada….naisss
Forget about the sushi, get an elantra
If thats the price in INDONESIA. Must Be around RM150k here. Still will be popular
It has the potential to completely outsell the Altis by the Shitty Sam Loo himself in Malaysia. RV shit here and there also no use. No matter how ugly or stripped down a Honda branded car in Malaysia, it will sell extremely well due to love and demand by Malaysians.
Ask anyone around, their 1st default car will be Honda. Not everyone can afford a German branded car in bolehland.
latest honda magazine did introduce the honda sensing features in their car. i thought it would be possible to be sold here in new civic. but looking at spec for indo’s civic, no chance at all…
The turbo engine looks a big mess of wires,
Indonesia price not cheap
Dashboard looks like from the Vezel la
Beta buy accord for this price… Rubbish de spec!
Add rear aircond pls… Malaysian is ok without twin tailpipe…
honda pun nak jadi macam toyota dah ke? pakai ekzos gantung? kan elok design rear bumper tu siap2 ada slot utk twin exhaust muffler cutter, cantik la sikit mcm honda fd dulu
U like? just buy it, don’t give a shit on what people are saying. Even lorry driver can post comment here.
Lorry driver could be earned more than u working as a hp seller cheating ppl
ha, so you are the hp seller over here?
where is honda sensing suite??????????????
it has vtec? i thought is turbo only?
True…me rather jobless than sell hp..most cit people I knw coz I wok in tis industry before…me never buy at Loyat or those small2 ah beng owned hp shops but buy frum authorised direct
They removed the LCD dash meter also???
Civic FD terbaik dan kekal releven…
Pls bring in the Type R here, but don’t price it rm500k like the M2, so silly.
