Dongfeng-Honda has introduced the Ciimo sedan specifically for the Chinese market – if the shape in the photos look familiar, it is; the Ciimo is pretty much the eight-generation Civic, repackaged for China.
The car – which made its debut in Beijing – is available in only one engine variant form, this being the 1.8 litre i-VTEC, mated to either a five-speed manual or five-speed auto transmission. Kit includes ABS with EBD and active headrests.
Pricing for the Ciimo begins from 111,800 Yuan, and word is that the Ciimo name won’t just be worn on this one, but rather on a series of models as it becomes a sub-brand. Reports indicate that a SUV based on the CR-V is next on the cards.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments mainly compare the Dongfeng-Honda Ciimo's affordability to Malaysia, noting its significantly lower price, especially in China where rebadging is common. Many express hope that Proton could adopt similar strategies to offer cheaper models, and some discuss the broader issue of high car prices in Malaysia due to taxes and subsidies. There are also comparisons with other countries' vehicle and living costs, emphasizing the impact of income levels, import duties, and policies on vehicle affordability. Overall, the sentiment favors more cost-effective local options and highlights disparities in car pricing.
