More info on the upcoming 2016 Honda Civic in Malaysia. Following the reveal of a dedicated Ride The Dream teaser website, we now have more promotional material for the tenth-gen model, and it appears that a non-turbo version will be available to Malaysians as well.
The naturally-aspirated mill here is the familiar 1.8 litre i-VTEC four-cylinder that puts out 141 hp at 6,500 rpm and 174 Nm at 4,300 rpm. It will join the already-known 1.5 litre turbocharged four-cylinder (173 hp/220 Nm), and should be paired to a CVT as well.
As for equipment, the new leaflet reveals that all variants of the Civic will come with six airbags and eight-way powered seat, which is good news for buyers, who may feel that they will be shortchanged by going the NA route instead of the turbo option.
Also available on the Civic is remote engine start, walk away auto lock, an electric parking brake, auto brake hold, VSA electronic stability control and LED headlamps (with LED DRLs). Unlike the above-mentioned items, not every variant will get all this kit.
Nonetheless, it certainly is good news that Honda Malaysia will not compromise on safety when it introduces the all-new, tenth-gen Honda Civic here. We have been invited to sample the new car in Thailand recently, so expect our review of the C-segment sedan here.
What do you think of the specifications of the Malaysian-spec 2016 Honda Civic so far? Do you prefer it over the Mazda 3 Sedan, Toyota Corolla Altis and Ford Focus Sedan? How much do you think it will cost?

Perdana is a different segment……. compare apple to apple ok?

what a joke, you call this luxury car.
Game over Proton
I fully support what my boss said. He has been suffered with his proton for many years same like what others suffered also.
More like game over toyota, not p1
Proton cannot game over want, only ask for billions more from G. More games for the rakyat to PAY
To me, Perdana is more luxury than the S Class LGE is chauffeured around. I’m proud of Proton now can go toe to toe with the Germans
@GSC
YOu forgot p1 paid gomen more than its loss
Everyone here getting excited about the 6 airbags. That is the new carrot being dangled to people and all so excited. But everyone here, in their excitement, forgot about the car price.
You can have even 100 airbags also in the car, if the car is priced at RM140k to RM150k, how many Malaysians can really afford it?
And why is it exclusive to the rich and wealthy that they get to enjoy safer cars (with 6 airbags) and the poor and mediocre person like myself, who cannot afford to cough out RM140k on a car, is unable to own a car with 6 airbags?
Is this fair to Malaysians? We as Malaysians should wish for all and everyone in Malaysia to enjoy cars which are safe and which give us ESC, EBD, ABS and 6 airbags as standard.
We as a country should aim for this goal. Irrespective of race, religion and financial status of a person. Everyone deserves to be safe and everyone deserves a car to have decent safety spec, namely 6 airbags, EBD, ESC and ABS.
6 airbags SHOULD be compulsory and a LEGAL requirement and not as a carrot to dangle to get buyers excited.
This is where our Government has failed its people. The Government should be pushing ALL car manufacturers to ave EBD, ESC, 6 airbags and ABS as STANDARD in all cars sold.
Remember, safety is like water and air. It should be the basic RIGHT of everyone in Malaysia. We should not be paying RM140k for 6 airbags.
Get a Honda City for RM90k.Stop whining.
Is it fair for rich people having better insurance coverage when they are rich and able to pay more premium?
Is it fair to the poor group if all range of cars to have 6 airbegs until Axia price reach RM50 over but poor group not afford to buy?
Is it fair that people born from rich family and got every luxury stuff?
@Tiger74
Learn about true life kid, this is not the country where you get all things regardless you are poor or rich.
Whoever told you life is fair?
Dear Leader and all the other oppolitikus, as long as u willing to Bersih for them.
tiger if you think that it’s not fair then work harder. why do you think people become rich? even drug lords have to go through so many hardships. well except for politicians. so it’s just fair that they get better privileges. what you’re barking for isn’t justice but equality. and that’s BS.
Tiger is primary school child. He has no idea why his parents cannot afford a car even a kancil , lol
Instead of giving RM1.5B to Proton, why not distribute it to the poor?
No wonder you cannot afford 140k car
Your mentality already show you are not capable of such wealth
Like a child crying because he is hungry and nobody fed him milk
While it is acceptable for a child, its definitely not acceptable for an adult
Because as an adult if youre hungry you should go find food and feed yourself
So the first step for you is to grow up
The rich did not get rich overnight and certainly did not get rich by spamming on the keyboard complaining about unfairness in life on the internet demanding things to be free for them
Since youre on fairness, so you think its fair for car manufacturer to forked out 6 airbags for free or subsidized heavily out of their pocket?
Ask you to pay for 6 airbags you say not fair, but ask some one else to pay you call it fair
How screwed can your mentality be?
Or perhaps you are brought up to be like a thief or without a backbone?
Ask you you to work hard to afford basic necessity you say not fair, come from some one else pocket you call it fair, if thats not thievery i dont know what is thievery anymore
Stop whining for free breast milk already, I know breast milk is a necessity in life but that is necessity for babies not adult.
Only eart prince get 6 airbags
In China also got protektion, foreign automakers have to JV later kena conned, is it fair?
You mean in China, Proton kena conned? Then it is fair as it conned Malaysia for 30 years
After taking RM1.5B, it is only fair that Proton contributes back by giving 15% discount to the bumis
What is wrong with Perdana? Be proud of our national car. Don’t be like RBA and Party Hard and just want Toyota only. Even if I kena lottery also, kena RM20 million also, I will suppork Perdana. Saya bangga dengan kereta nasional saya!
Malaysians are bunch of ungrateful dogs. Always complain about car prices too. Let me tell you, car prices are cheap in Malaysia. If you work hard like me, you can afford any car. the problem with many people complaining about car prices is that they are lazy. You are poor because you are lazy! work hard!
Why so proud with national car? I feel shame as our automotive technology is far behind Japanese and Korean after how many years of development.
Far behind?
Civic scored more in NCAP test coz the hardness of steel sheet is not counted, if it is, Preve won any time any day with more HPF parts.
And now 2016 only comes the turbo civic while preve got turbp years before, not to mention got more torquey engine.
“After so many years of development”
Lol bashers are always coming with childish comparison between multinational and small player company.
Please ask your parents about it ok?
cronies like you need to work?
Learn to speak dialect for better chance to get work. Sure aah?
I thought no Civic article today …
Jetta 1.4TSI 240Nm rm90k, Mazda3 2.0 210Nm rm106k
I thought no john around today…damn, this blog will B better without him!
You jelly i drive Proton?
U jelly that u based ur nick on my nick?
Better buy Proton. Jepunis is crap. Only bodoh people buy Jepunis and lagak. This Civic got no RV. Junk car.
Better buy Toyotaik. All other car brands are crap. Bodoh people buy other brand and lagak want to be different but ‘hailat’ miserably. All other cars got no RV and junk car. Toyotaik got best RV and ‘lagi the best’ car in the universe (words of wisdom from UMW Toyotaik sales advisor, not me or any one of us except Same Loo)
Haha….you mean Accordana
Funny how you brag on a copy-paste product. You mean HONDA ACCORD that has better specs & ride. As a Malaysian I am unable to confess proton is a car maker.
As a Malaysian you’re proving yourself to be an uninformed dumbass
Go and learn about about rebadging, even.yourbworshipped car maker toyota does it. P2 assemble car not make cars since years do you call it maker?
If yes then topkek
And oh the handling..dun dream your jepunis hideous cars can beat p1
You must be from UiTM/Mara
You have otak batu
OMG…Spend more than 100K for P1 car…not worth it…the perdana interior copy old accord 1…yucks…RV also yucks..
You must be new kid not knowing anything about rebadging.
Even Toyota still does it!
Rebadge pun rebadge platform barulah, rebadge platform lama buat apa? Benda org lain tak mahu Proton guna duit rakyat untuk beli. Bodo
Perdana should be compared with same segment such as the Honda Accord, Nissan Teana, Mazda 6 or Toyota Camry. As for this post, the Honda Civic(standard 6-airbags and VSA) should be compared against the Proton Preve(which also has 6-airbags and ESC as standard since 2013 update), Toyota Corolla Altis(equipped with 2-airbags and no ESC), Mazda 3(6-airbags and DSC), Nissan Sylphy(also standard 6-airbags and VDC), Volkswagen Jetta(6-airbags and ESP) and Ford Focus(this I have no info).
Beware! Dont be murdered by Honda airbags.
And they got 6 now!!!
You been living under a rock for the past year, is it? Carmakers are not using Takata airbags anymore.
Read the news properly, not only Honda is affected by the airbeg issue but most of car makers
FOrtunately not your hate most company proton
Pastu 1.8 civic harga rm125k…. semua bash balik.. more equipment..more Rm la
Still using that Takata killer airbag?
6 airbags = 6 time bomb? Good luck Honda users, you want want the inflators to flatten your lives just like that? Think beyond safety… so many cases recorded with Honda not only in Malaysia, but also the states….
My only advise is… be sure what DRB Hicom is trying to offer here…
Sorry la, Malaysian very cheap one
For example one manufacturer quote 6 air bags for RM6 another 6 airbags for RM12
They say the other more expensive is a rip off
They dont know what is quality, everything cheap can already.
Just like alot of handphone exploding cases now adays, cheap can already
You sure really catch-up with negative news and close your eyes for positive ones? Honda already done recalls for the old models equipped with Takata Airbags had a replacement. Toyota also used Takata, same goes to Mazda and other car brands. The fact that recall already been issued, the ones to be blamed is users who usually think sending their car for update is useless and wasting their ‘valueable time’.
Lead the way Honda Malaysia….hopefully with VSC bundled together
Don’t be like Toyota. VSC is an option. Even for their RM160k Camry and their RM200k Fortuner!
Just get my hand on the specs for all variants. You will be impressed when you look at the spec for baseline 1.8. Can’t even call it basic anymore. Even 1.8 comes with rear aircond, 7 inch lcd, auto aircond, remote engine start, autoheadlights, smart keyless entry, handsfree telephone and cruise control. Amazing isn’t it?
But i can get it in preve except keyless entry.
You also got the shameful logo “Proton”. LoL
Jepunis badge more shameful, ady killed people and massive recalls all over the world.
At least he din get salesman bollocks that RV and almighty T badge will protect him from accidents and injuries.
Am driving jepunis car. Dun know where to put face now even my dog scared to get in coz of takata airbags
I’m not sure if Perdana is a local or jepunis car?
Ah! I think Perdana is like Banana, yellow on the outside but white on the inside, but in this case is black on the outside
With your on hand specs..just want to know does civic come with lanewatch
Nope. But vsa comes standard.
OMG…that not enough unless VSC & HA available for all variant.
good if the truth as u mentioned, most of the new 1.8 NA civic potential buyers are the preve ‘leaked turbo’ victim…the trauma still there
Then there will be leaked turbo civic victims leter, lol
Be proud of it? at what price, at 140K, others can offer lot better at significantly cheaper price.
What car? |Same segment?
his dream car LOL
It is equipped as standard throughout the lineup. Honda’s VSC is called VSA(Vehicle Stability Assist). Other brands have different names but it work the same way as standard VSC(Vehicle Stability Control).
if year end, sure some discount. better wait since is mid of year oled. lets wait year end sales
This is a sushi car, by year end the waiting period will be 3-4 months.
Unlike the kimchi, launch and hardly sell. Just look at the Rio Sedan, 6 airbags sitting in the popular B-segment which most of the sales are but still hardly sell any unit.
new launching car usually no discount and low trade in…wait for few months or new competitors launch, then u will get better deal
Whereas for the altis, six airbags is an optional extra for the range topper:(
6 airbags? No, the Altis is coming with 7 airbags for the additional price. Toyota doesn’t go 6, it is either 2 or 7.
Crap toyota
6 airbags also option in Proton so you saying is crap as well?
Liar,
Preve got 6 airbags across variant
How come my Iriz only 4 airbags?
For Toyota it is only 2. 7 is optional and need to pay extra.
Altis is crying in that dark corner alone…
I rather have VSC than 8-way power seat.
Like finally Honda takes the right moves. 6Airbags as standard. Comfirm VSA is across the range too since 8th gen VSA is standard across the range. Well done
Thanks to Paul Tan and followers and trolls.
Really anticipated for the pricing of the turbo variant. It is really a good buy considering overall aspects Honda offered. I checked out its century sprint on YouTube, it took 7.0 to 7.2 sec to reach the mark, similarly to the German compact executive sedans already. LED headlamps, LED turn signal, electronic instrument cluster. Hopefully, it comes w a set of premium speakers too!
7.0 to 7.2s for century sprint for a 173hp/220Nm engine pushing a car the size of the Civic? In your dreams!
I don’t know what youtube video you have been watching but the stock 1.5L turbo isn’t going to get this figure. I expect it to be 8.x sec but keep dreaming!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeZ5uGEjrmk
VTEC TURBO JUST KICKED IN, YO!
Later becomes vtec bocor
dude, I felt pity for your Wi-Fi that you signed couldn’t afford to stream videos online but you know what? At least you can still load paultan and reply my comment.
Those numbers are different when done on different road and place
Can be true because there’s no actual test on our Malaysia road yet. However, I do believe it wont vary w a big difference since the car is technically the same. I dont know how much fuel plays the roles in creating those performance figures now.
Dude, I feel pity for your gullibility that you believe everything you come across on the internet. The 1.5L turbo civic with its puny turbo boost cannot do the century sprint in 7.x sec. Time will prove I’m right and your absolute naivety. An unverified video doesn’t prove anything.
Well it’s a good thing with this century sprint, but I can already foresee a lot of Ah Bengs and Ah Lians tailgating people in their new civics with huge spoiler thinking they drive a super sport car. Beside the huge spoiler their civics would also have one white strip or two, running from the front bonnet to the exhaust.
Long live Honda! Long live P1! Long live Mazda!
Pegi mampus toyota! Coffin-kan P2!
Lets give a moment of silence to the passing of Altis.

Now wheres my shovel?
Wait until the shovel gets spanked onto your face by car-jackers… This Civic is gonna be hot on the list for thieves…
This Civic is now keyless. Without it, its not going anywhere, whereas ur Hailat & Misfortune is still thieve favourite thanks to its very basic security and perceived RV. But do u know that here in SG, RV means Recyclable Value? Thats how much we think about ur RV
huh???!!!jack Japanese car???car thieves like u better shot by your own boss! after u have left out the German & Italian race car! :P
Where is Honda LaneWatch system ?
YEA, WILL BE A LITTLE DISSAPOINTED IF LANEWATCH IS NOT IN CIVIC,WILL BE SUCH AND AMZING CAR WITH THE COOL SAFETY FEATURE RIGHT?
ur keyboard problem kah?
Your shovel is on the way, the all new Civic 1.5 RS Dohc TURBO
6 airbags??? make sure these airbags are not flaw though… still using Takata airbags???
I believe Honda Malaysia/ HMSB uses airbags from Malaysia-based Autoliv-Hirotako/ AHSB. They also supply airbags to Proton (101% confirmed) as well as Toyota and Perodua (not 101% sure). Sadly, they don’t have their own website. MBM Resources has a stake in AHSB… that should explain the Toyota/ Perodua connection.
So Toyota in Malaysia not using Takata?
So all the Toyota bashers are wrong?
Is this a crony company?
Who cares?
Did you read news? Don’t just read one part and forget the follow up. All major Japanese manufacturers dropped Takata since last year.
After so many deaths and injuries. Bravo.
Good news indeed for the buyers. Hopefully the other car makers follow suit unless some higher-ups decide to make even more money and throw spanner in the development. It’s hard to be the good guy in this dog-eat-dog world.
I’ll HAPPILY eat back my words about Honda skimping on airbags.
Game over toyota
I was driven in one of these in Thailand last month.
The interior is just horrid. The plastics are really low grade and you can hear creaks when you push against the dash panels. They’re hollow as well.
Road noise was terribly loud. Even Preve wasn’t this bad.
In these aspects, the Civic loses out to Corolla and 3.
So sad for Thais..they they launch first but oni got 2 airbag. If want 6 airbag need to go highest spec..
Ya ya. Bashers will say ini semua salah P1/ BN/ UMNO/… oh wai…did u say tomyam?
Excellent news, 6 airbags as standard is very reassuring to hear. Too bad VSA/ ESC is not standard… or is it ?
The fact that it will be CKD-fied here at HMSB’s Malacca plant is already praiseworthy, very few people will appreciate this but trust me, this is a very special case.
I strongly believe that the new Civic FC will bring back the good old days of Civics, back when the Civic was desirable…. If not the EG/ EH, or EK/ EJ, certainly the FD… let’s just forget the FB even existed. haha
Vsa comes standard bro. Just confirmed it.
Vsa comes standard. Just confirmed it.
The steering looks big.. or just the angle of the photo..
Good job Honda Malaysia for the commendable number of airbags! Next, if you can fix the fugly rear for the facelift version in 2 years time, you will have me as a eager customer.
Yeah, i agree. Its so ugly that toyota C-HR has to copy it.
Its so ugly like you that your mom prefers a Toyota
Price from RM150k. Honda (Proton) Accord (Perdana) from RM110k for the 2.0L
Bye bye KiA & Hyundai , u tried your best but your best was not good enough. Pls go back and sell your junk in Korea.
This Civic is just gonna blow those 2 Korean wannabes back to Korea!
Those 2 are korean, not korean wannabes.
You are funny. KIA and HYUNDAI blow those japanese around the world
pls with good build quality…
Even accord not really good quality.. rattling dashboard.. squeaking sound during braking .. just sold my 9tg gen accrod to my sister in law..
honda malaysia just shifted malaysian consumer attention away from the fact they cut cost by not having honda sensing
I will wait for the facelift, hopefully by then Honda sensing is made compulsory here
Rest in Junk Scrap Metal pieces Toyota Corolla Altis in Malaysia.
This New Civic will eventually flood the whole of bolehland compared the the previous hideous 9th generation. It will outsell and outmatch the Altis in terms of sales performance. Great Specs too. Bye2 Sam Loo. LOL
THis surprises me , 6 airbags standard across the range while Powered seats as well. I must praise Honda Malaysia for this. Well done Honda!
… Therealcivic… You just wait and see the coming Elantra sport 1.6 Tgdi, 204 hp…
Wait for civic type R
very likely above 130k.
anyway is a winner approach that touch majority car lover’s heart
Later bocor then sell it at 40k
Where is Honda Sensing?
engine bay for 1.5 turbo is a total dissapointment. champion of messiness
Put me in the list is you will have a paddle shifter.
No honda sensing?
the interior looks cheap for 2016 standard…pass!
UMW can go bang dodols afta this la!!
Good Job Honda! Placed my booking ready!!
goodjob toyota
blowjob honda
With Takata airbag issues still unresolved till today whereby 13 victims had been killed globally, better stay away from purchasing any of this new or old Honda or Toyota cars at this moment.
There is a saying “Prevention is better than cure”.
No any honda car for the matter is not my cup of tea anymore cost sub standard Takata airbags were to be installed once again.
Me and my friends confidence level is zero on honda cars right now and we do not wish to be a victims killed by Takata airbags installed in honda cars until the airbags are proven to be safe once again.
Let wait for more reports globally then .
Dude. Honda don’t use takata anymore
Why limit yourself to Honda and Toyota only?? Don’t forget that BMW, Ford, Ferrari, Mercedes, VW and a few other manufacturers were also affected by the Takata airbag recall. On another note all the affected manufacturers announced that they have stopped using Takata airbags so all the new cars since the beginning of this year is not using Takata airbags anymore.
do u think car manufacturer will be stupid enough to continue to use takata faulty airbag after such a big issue? i bet car manufacture already setup a team to focus on airbag segment to assure 0% error. so it is safe for sure.
The proton senile old man Mr M will cry when this Honda beauty launched starting from RM104k. His Accordana starts from RM120k for the base model. Good luck senile old man and your proton
Lol accordana has much better handling.
6airbag = 6kills..prefer vios 2airbag..atleast less kills
After comparing the US/Canada, Thai & Indonesian Civics (online of course), just realised that our Indonesian friends actually get rear AC vents in their Civic. Whereas neither US/Canada & Thailand (which is HQ for Honda ASEAN) has them. This is quite interesting, as it meant Honda Indonesia had to re-engineer a bit the front armrest area to accommodate those vents. Of course, the addition of the rear AC vents does mean slightly less legroom for someone sitting in the middle rear seat, as the vents has to go somewhere, and that goes behind where the front armrest area/storage ends. But its not too cramped for the rear passenger. And the design of the rear AC vents is quite nice looking too, so it does not look like an after-thought.
If Indonesia can add rear AC vents, does that mean Malaysian can get them too? But judging by lack of any promotion or marketing of rear AC, I kinda doubt this. But we’ll find out soon enough in June when the new Civic gets launched here.
There is rear airconds. There are way too many other exciting features hence perhaps it’s not important
Leaked turbo engine is exciting too
assembled in thailand?
hmm…so should be priced closed to the recent facelifted focus which is from thailand too.
The more u get, the higher price u pay. I thk shld be around RM130k for NA & RM145k for Turbo. Any contest for price guessing?
Better buy property
yeah..u are right..be smart..buy property is better..buy property first n if u can afford this car why not???
No because car RV will go down, property always up
that is a typical answer and information..some ppl hv desire..if they bought a few properties..why not they spend money for their fav car??
Yeah right, as if property is priced reasonably by all those greedy developers here.
Better buy Jetta at 88K and 408 at 86K lah. Similar performance and features at significantly lower price. I think at that price can get another MYVI for free. Ha ha..
Guarantee no towing car session?
Should thanks to korean cars at least.. As without their good full specs previously, malaysians will still be having downgraded malaysian specs till today.. That goes to all sushi cars…
Shud thank P1 as well
Should thank BN as well
Yeah, why not? Party Hard only supports overpriced underspec moving coffin toyota. So we shud kuburkan toyota/P2/Party Hard.
At least Party Hard supports kempen turunkan harga kereta, what did BN do with the janji to reduce car price for 30%? You want to tell us about the Subaru again or tell us by giving billions more to Proton so that crony vendors can keep their jobs? If not for BN, P1 has long been dikuburkan in its own coffin and we can all Party Hard
Wonder if the defective airbags issue will be rectified in this new model. Safety first but safety killing you is not the way to go. Other specs looks decent though
This gen of Civic is great car.
Is EEV comes during launch or later?? Later on the 1st batch buyer cry if EEV qualified later and gets 10k cheaper.
Turbocor will sip fuel like lembu minum air
You mean Preve?
Prices and safety features are very significant for a car in our country nowadays. If civic want to outsell it’s rivals, it must meet the above criteria. Since the safety features are quite acceptable, the price must be affordable. Honda should focus more on selling the car in a large volume. If the price is too high, surely it will affects the sales. In my opinion, the 1.8L variant should be selling at below 120k and the 1.5L turbo variant should be selling at not more than 132k.
I am buying 10 as company cars for staff use!
Kudos Honda….lets wipe out and finish Toyota.
jetta faster or civic1.5 turbo?
I think this new Civic can tapau my Jetta lah.. Aisehhh. It’ s time to remap ini macam. Kudos to Honda. Welcome to fun driving experience.
And prepare for tow truck service membership
A Jetta will “tapau” itself into the service centre. You don’t need Honda to do that.
Well depend on driver.
My Vios eats Jetta Civic turbocor for breakfast lunch dinner supper
My Saga eats smoke for sembahyang
My quad exxhaust myvi eats everything, it’s legendary car
I’m guessing jetta, it has both supercharger and turbocharger
Whatever it is don’t race on public roads and become a nuisance and danger to other people. Don’t test your airbags at other people’s expense
Jetta is faster because of the significantly higher torque at low rev. Better pickup and acceleration at overtaking manoeuvre.
6 airbags good move but are they from Takata airbags where already 2 deaths Honda City Takata airbag. So more airbags may not be a good thing …
Dont say like that
Malaysian very kiasu one
Even if 6 airbags is from takata they also want
Because same price less airbag they cannot accept
Quantity more than quality, because of quantity they die also nvm one
TAKATA Airbags recalls waiting list
Proton, please rebadge it with all safety features asap. Thank you.
People gives 6 airbags & power seat for all variants, whereas one gives DRL & bodykit, pity their SA… LOL
Where is Honda Sensing that many other countries offer for Civic and even the new facelift 2016 Accord for only USD1k (RM4k)? Honda Malaysia, did you know that 6 airbags and VSC are STANDARD safety features not meant for advertisement? Not to mention your latest 2 death cases due to Takata airbags and now you are promoting the 6 airbags as a ‘new’ safety feature. Am not sure if it’s Honda Malaysia’s decision or the pathetic government imposing these on Honda’s new Civic to reduce competition in the safety category. Damn, these cronies are risking other people’s lives for their own profit.
Give us the Honda Sensing package or you’re cheating rakyat’s money when overseas models get them! Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS).
Real driver use manual….real driver no need all this…real driver must have control all.no need help like stupid need helo to drive supercar
Yes seat belts also no need lor
Honda=Drb Hicom
Proton=Drb Hicom
Hehehe….bonus bonus
I actually contacted one of Honda SA and I got some info on the new Civic:
1. Comes in three specs – 1.8, 1.5 Turbo and 1.5 Turbo Premium.
2. All variants (yes even the lowest one) come with six airbags, VSA, cruise control, touch screen head unit with reverse camera and power seats.
3. Prices starts from RM115K to RM135K.
4. LED headlamps are only available for the 1.5 Turbo Premium.
Judging from the preliminary specs, this looks like it can even put the entry-level Accord to shame when it comes to equipment levels.
Bye bye Jetta, Golf, Altis, Focus, 308, Mazda 3, Accord, Camry, Teana…
i can smell this new civic will be flooded in Malaysia road in future..and maybe potential accord buyer will consider on this civic as well..
With this new civic and other models. Honda may maintain top seller again for non-national carmaker
Op kos laaaa….pls also include honda ex5
What is the indicative starting base price?
200K
where is lanewatch!!??
Colors offered:
1) White Orchid Pearl
2) Dark Ruby Red Pearl
3) Lunar Silver
4) Modern Steel Metallic
5) Crystal Black
Hope HM will offer more exciting colors in the months to come like Rallye Red/Carnival Red, Cosmic Blue Metallic and Brilliant Sporty Blue Metallic and launch it together with a higher spec RS version as well!
Where is Honda Sensing? Already super-duper late launch, bila launched, tak ade sensing pulak. Even Thailand’s Civic gets it. Safety of drivers and passengers is not that important in our country apparently, what sad state malaysia is becoming..
Should I pick 1.5 turbo CIVIC or 1.5 turbo FORD FOCUS?
Ford Focus is overrated. Interior space felt like Saga.
Don’t bother with this car, at least not yet. Just got mine and the AC is broken and after spending 4 hours barely a week into owning the car, they still can’t figure out the problem.
