This is one of the quickest facelifts in history, coming in at only 1.5 years after the current 9th generation Honda Civic sedan was unveiled in the US. This is the US market car which looks different than our Asian market model to begin with, and the US car’s facelift was designed to correct criticism from the US market, so the Asian Civic that’s in our market might not get any update.
It will make its debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 29. The Civic features a new open-mouth lower bumper with a horizontal chrome accent and a sportier, black honeycomb mesh grille, anchored by new integrated fog lights on upper trims. The grille is flanked by new clear-lens corner lights. There’s also a new more deeply faceted hood and a collection of new wheel designs.

The rear of the US market Civic has also been updated. A new rear bumper design and new rear trunk lid are capped by a clean, horizontal chrome trim piece. The rear bumper features integrated reflector treatments and a new lower diffuser panel finished with a honeycomb mesh vent.
The US market car’s taillights are now L-shaped and now carries into the trunk face. The pre-facelift US market tail lamps were kind of triangle shaped, and for the Asian Civic that we get here, it has a similiar triangle tail lamps design with a small part that extends onto the boot lid, like a sideways ‘tree’.

Comments indicate mixed reactions to the 2013 Honda Civic facelift, with some appreciating the design improvements especially the rear, while others prefer the older style or find it less attractive. Many commenters emphasize that the car's technical features, specs, and reliability are more important than its looks, citing fuel economy, safety, and handling as key factors. Several users express skepticism towards the pricing, saying it seems high for locally assembled units with high content, and favor brands like Toyota and Hyundai for value and design. Enthusiasts highlight that the US market version looks better, and some consider waiting for future models or variants like hybrids.
