Earlier this month, Honda released the first official image of the 11th-generation Civic, which was previously previewed by a near-production prototype in November last year. Replacing the 10th-gen FC model that was first introduced in 2015, the thoroughly redesigned Civic is currently being revealed in stages, with more information set to arrive on April 28.
There is always a lot of buzz when a new Civic is announced, and the question on the minds of most Malaysians – including us – after the initial reveal is always, “when is it coming here?” Well, it seems like we could welcome the 11th-gen model as soon as this year, according to Honda Malaysia president and COO Sarly Adle Sarkum.
In an interview posted online for the company’s WithDreams magazine, Sarly was asked to if Honda had anything exciting in store on the way, and his reply was certainly suggestive. “You didn’t see the Civic 2022 world premiere on the internet? Where have you been all this time? Hints for 2021… tunggu…,” he said.
Seeing how the latest Civic has yet to go on sale anywhere in the world, we’ll likely get a preview for the 11th-gen this year rather than a full-on launch. Looking back, the current FC on sale here was first previewed in May 2016, a little over eight months – that’s the number of months left in 2021 – after its global debut in North America. Prior to its preview at the then My Auto Fest, Honda Malaysia opened the order books for the model and provided preliminary specifications, with a launch only taking place a month later.
So, based on the interview with Sarly, it looks like we could get up close with the all-new Civic sometime this year, if no issues arise from the ongoing pandemic. Looking forward to it? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

I’m liking this trend of Malaysia getting the newest generation/facelift as soon as they are released (from all companies like Hyundai and now Honda) as opposed to wondering when it would ever reach our shores. Keep it up
Looks like 1990’s Honda Legend. What are they thinking?
They are thinking AWESOME! I think so!
I really do not like it.
“ah yes i saw the new civic. Anyway, let’s get back to our previous topic about exciting thing”.
Nice car, looks like Honda City
I drive a City, it is nicer than this. It looks like my beach sleeper, the right one.
Hope they bring in the Hatchback
From the social media, I can see a lot of people don’t like the look of this new model. But I think it looks a lot more matured and handsome compare to the Hokkien Mee Civic. Haha!
The oldies has dished out the super futuristic gundam current design.. and now it is their time to buy a plain look Civic.. I don’t think majority of current Civic would trade in their 9 years installment in few years time anyway.
This civic will be the best seller in the C-Segment defeating the rivals by miles ahead in sales.
which direction is the civic heading in this gen…exciting to drive for your younger group OR a comfortable and quiet ride for the family?
Eww..so fugly…i better buy ketam before it stop production
this civic been called as civic jamban because the engine hood design opening is like jamban seat.
u need to get your eyes checked as there is a chance of retina tear.
Don’t think it will sell as much as the current model.
Most civic current owners would prefer the car they have now. Still a very nice unque design car that till today, would turn heads with their original look and the different custom look. The new Civic however don’t look better in design. Not really a fan of the new design.

It looks like the Honda Prelude 1983 model.
New City hatchback & HRV why no coming in yet
The rear looks so heavy and the front is so sleepy. Such a bad design
