The 2016 Honda Civic Sedan was officially revealed in the US last month and it looks like media in the region are starting to get their hands on the tenth-gen car. Here, CivicX.com gives us a walkaround of the Civic’s exterior and interior, with a demo of the head unit and instrument panel.
Yes, this is the new Civic Sedan despite the unfamiliar fastback shape. There’s still a boot, even if the lid is extremely short. LED headlights with LED daytime running lights flank a grille with a thick chrome bar, and the wheels look pretty similar to the City’s alloys in design. They’re not the same items though, with five lugs and measuring 17 inches in diameter.
The rear end is dominated by those distinctive C-shaped LED tail lamps, and there’s a prominent integrated spoiler with a slim lip on it.
The new Civic is 51 mm wider and 25 mm lower, with a wheelbase that’s longer by 30.5 mm. Here, we can see the enlarged boot (by 74 litres) and the rear quarters, where legroom is said to have been increased by 51 mm. The cabin is 105 litres larger.
Up front, the video shows us the Civic’s new digital instrument cluster, which features a central rev counter with a a digital speedo within. It pans to the steering, which has buttons for phone functions, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist. The volume control is a departure from the norm; is that a button or do you slide your thumb on it? The latter, perhaps.
The seven-inch HD touchscreen head unit is familiar in design, but it incorporates feed from Honda LaneWatch here, and has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatability. Also seen is the gear lever area, which has an Econ button and an electronic parking brake. Auto air con, too, with seat warmers for the US.
This new generation will spawn coupe (previewed by that green NYC concept) and hatchback versions, and possibly a wagon for Europe, but this is the car that Asean will be getting in the near future. There will be a Type R variant for this bodystyle, too. What’s your impression?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
surely going to book this one
u book only..not buying though..tiuuuu…
Two thumbs up !!!
That sloping roofline. Hope can accomodate 6 footers at the back. Looks sharp and crisp.
This ain’t no sedan anymore and I thought Honda wanted to not increase the Civic size since it’s already quite large? At this rate in 10 years time they will need to draw larger parking lot lines!
power of dreams is back!
A good comeback after cheapening out the FB. Lets just see if Honda Malaysia is going to decontent the car we get here.
Interesting engine sound. Seems to be really loud Injectors?
Please note that this is US version of Civic, usually Asian / European version will be slightly ugly.
Current Generation of
US – http://paultan.org/2012/11/30/honda-civic-gets-some-changes-for-2013-in-the-us/
European / Asian – http://paultan.org/2012/06/27/honda-civic-fb-test-drive-review/
But no worries, Toyota did the same with US and European / Asian version. http://paultan.org/2013/06/11/gallery-2014-toyota-corolla-face-off-asean-vs-us/
Have a nice day! :D
Nope, Asia version will look nicer. Like the 8th gen.
Sorry to say that this model also quite fugly~
Honestly, the front view is quite refreshing and bold….. BUT the rear.. The design is so sucks.. Just look at that tail light and boot…. It looks like a hybrid car cross styling that totally destroyed the sport impression of the car
This is Civic ‘Touring’ maa… where is the sedan type?
DUh… It is written “The 2016 Honda Civic Sedan was officially revealed in the US last month”
DRB Hicom please bring this car to Malaysia quickly…bring along turbocharged 1.5/cvt instead of offering 2.0 N/A variant only..I can’t wait to have 1 ♥
Plus mugen body kit, sure siok ah!
The Honda production line in Prachinburi is going to work overtime again, anyway meet you guys up at Mueng Thong Thani Bangkok motor show soon
All of sudden the Kimchi(s) are out-classed. Don’t mess with the Civic.
What is not to like about this car?
Why so late to being this here? Also how many of those toys will be missing from the local spec?
Now, i am impressed! Current design so uncle.
I fail to see how that sloping roofline will help rear headroom, unless the rear seats are more reclined, or floor is lowered (which explains why there is a rather pronounced hump in the middle in between the left & right rear seats which has been missing from the 8G and 9G Civics). We will find out soon of course. The unit in the video is most probably a test drive unit for journalists. There is usually an embargo on what news can be shared (none) until it goes on sale (by end of October), so thats why the important details were left out from the video.
I honestly believe that the 1.5 DI turbo may not make it here that soon (no!!!). It may arrive in a later batch. Though I HOPE I am wrong. But the CVT will come. Now, Hondas newer CVTs are not that bad actually & is very fuel efficient (bar the recall for the Jazz’s CVT). But yeah, a normal automatic or Acura’s new dual clutch with torque converter is still far more exciting to drive than the flat & drony CVT.
so what will the engine specification? same as the previous civic model? or the new type of engine?
depan macho..belakang hodoh
Continental car design looks more better than all japanese car.
Stupid car. Better buy proton
Honestly, the front view is quite refreshing and bold….. BUT the rear.. The design is so sucks.. Just look at that tail light and boot…. It looks like a hybrid car cross styling that totally destroyed the sport impression of the car.
And for god sake, pls put an engine cover for it…. Ugly compartment ….How to compete with other car maker in bringing the style and quality to the brand???
Anticipating with much excitement…….
but seriously honda malaysia needs to price it wisely this time around…
One thing for sure,better than mazda 3. Solved rear leg room and seat capacity,pehap with rear aricond vent,mayb. 1.5 turbo engine is looking forward, the spedometer kinda Lamborghini huracan layout and center dashboard as well. My Honda salesmen telling me can place booking,RM1k. Weird,right?Honda sutera auto,Johor. LOL
The interior look nice!! But the rear look bit weird maybe is about the colour? If bring in the 1.5 then best lo =]
