Whether you believe it or not, the 10th-generation Honda Civic FC is almost five-years old now, but its one of those cars that hides its age well. The fastback-esque C-segment sedan continues to be a strong seller thanks to the introduction of the facelift model earlier in February, featuring subtle styling tweaks (if it ain’t broke) and a host of other upgrades.
Just to recap, there are three variants of the locally-assembled Civic on sale, namely the base 1.8 S, mid-spec 1.5 TC and range-topping 1.5 TC-P. At the time, the prices ranged from RM113,600 to RM139,600, but with SST exemption those figures have dropped to RM109k to RM135k.
In terms of styling, the top Civic gets a new front bumper with gloss black grille (chrome on cheaper variants), new rear spoiler and bumper garnish, 18-inch alloys wrapped with 235/40 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres, and the full suite of Honda Sensing driver assistance systems. This includes Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS), and more.
No mechanical changes have been done here, so the existing L15B7 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo four-cylinder engine continues its propulsion duties, offering 173 PS and 220 Nm. An Earth Dreams continuously variable transmission (CVT) is standard, and it drives the front wheels.
Finally, there are five colours to choose from – Lunar Silver Metallic, White Orchid Pearl, Modern Steel Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl and a new shade, Passion Red Pearl. There is also a number of optional accessories packages available, as well as a Protection package (RM3,007), which consists of ultra glass body/window coating.

Abang-abang FD2 bleh hapgred naek sibik FC.
Because dashboard looks so cheapskate and boring
No need to worry. The 11th gen civic will be launching next year. From the spyshot pictures, the 11th gen looks way better than the current one.
Design getting backwards
5 years baru facelift? So how long are we going to stay with this model? Were the Japs sleeping on the job again? Tido goyang kaki minum sake 8x a day.
No matter what, it still looks too weird
Basically, the civic fl is more or less similar as pre-facelift civic? Don’t know why honda designers are very lazy to redesign the new facelift. Hmm
In Malaysia it’s called Facelift. In US and EU, this 10th gen Civic is launched will all above package Honda Sensing in 2016. It’s basically Honda Malaysia milking market by removing existing feature then re-introduce them as “Facelift” 3 years later.
Built quality, gearbox and fuel pump is questionable. But then only Malaysians thinks that this is as like god car
How do the justify the price tag of Rm135k for a top spec C segment Japanese sedan? Frankly, with that sort of pricing, one will have plenty of options in the 2nd hand continental car markets ranging from Mercs, Bmws, Audis, VWs and the others. Personally, i find these Japanese cars overpriced & expensive, and doesn’t necessarily hold their value as well as before. As the saying goes, when the demand stops, the killing stops too!
U compare a used 5 years or 8 years car with New civic????? Ha ha ha…. Bro Used… Dont want
Even thought Mazda 3 is NA but still the best if compare this crab little turbo car :D opsss… wait…. Mazda 3 2.5 Turbo is born! bye crab~
The crab rear light…..makes a person’s eyes painful watching it.
Ya… Without. Led…. Bulb type rear lamp… Come on… Even axia, bezza, myvi have led lights
This is totally unfinished design.
Rear lights failed, even new city got led rear light bar
A lot of you here think it’s boring, already. Well, I think it still looks good and aggressive, it just that, there are too many of this things on the road.
This is the fact bro. No matter what. Because this dashboard looks more same especially honda design also looks more similar as previous generation and pre facelift as well. Of course, there are so many honda models on the road which doesnt look so more unique.
proven. paultan.org commenters are not a good gauge of the market.
Lol! Be fair and square bro. Everyone have our rights to comment here. But yet, I dont even know why some honda fanboys still obssessing this ah beng ricer.
That’s the problem because honda fanboys always talk badmouthing to others brands, especially their target bashing brands like mazda. These jealously honda fanboys have zero facts, instead they just simply reply to this website that others are not good than this honda. Mind you that, honda design is getting either outdated or getting ugly. Even reliability for honda is getting lousier than any japanese brands. Yet, even proton reliability is getting better than honda.
interesting to see so many being offended. well, the fact you did not buy a seaweed, good on you. problem is, this car sells really well.
Ya… Without. Led…. Bulb type rear lamp… Come on… Even axia, bezza, myvi have led lights
No comment…..this design.
Credit where is due.
Probably the only sedan that still manage to buck the crazy suv trend.
Saving the segment on its own
the most powerful and best selling car in its segment will always be the best in its class for a good reason irregardless of people’s baseless comments.
