By far the biggest news from yesterday was the launch of the new Honda Civic. We’ve talked at length about the car and everything that is new on it, which you can read all about in our full launch report.
However, if all you’re here for are the differences in specifications and equipment of all three variants, you’ve come to the right place. The biggest step up for the 11th-generation FE is of course the fitment of the 182 PS 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo engine and Honda Sensing suite as standard, helping to counteract the sizeable jump in starting price. But there’s a lot more going on with each variant, so here goes.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Really can omit the RS spec and just get the V spec.
RS spec is just cosmetics, no enhancement on drivetrain and safety features.
Wow so I pay more to get slower acceleration?
Want it…but too mahal.one segment jump from city to civic of the same brand is like 60-70k…feels more like a make jump. so pass.
so the more you pay, the slower your acceleration time. RS looks like a really bad deal when the only worthy addition is the auto wiper. should have given it at least electric passenger seats, wireless charging, full digital instrument panel to make it feel diff. otherwise civic v is the best choice
At more than 150K when u factor in the HP interest,cant the Honda designers give a better looking dashboard,especially the horizontal rectangular area(air vents?)below the andriod device?
Just make the damn expensive car look like 1960’s era.
Common Honda malaysia..tell Honda Japan,give the Honda fanboys a better looking interior.
So the cheapest one has the fastest acceleration, and 8.3s isn’t exactly fast for a 180hp car. Sucks
I like Civic Ketam more compare to this Civic Flowerhorn.
do u have civic?
I have a Civic FC 1.5 TCP and I will keep mine even though it is 5 years old. I will consider upgrade if the 12th Gen attract me with its features like 360 camera.
Front passenger seat is so low…
Thats civic
why so ugly?
Nice, if only Honda offers DCT instead of CVT it will be a complete package.
looks like u don’t know about DCT yet..
Well, 182hp with 200km/h top speed a bit surprisingly low. My 2013 stock Elentra 1.6 (fitted with Indon tyres and Ron95,2 yrs normal spark plugs) with 128hp run with top speed of 195km/h . This Civic must property set up to perform better b4 consider buying it
Did you factor in the speedometer reading error which varies between different brands & models?
No everyone like you do not know how to write the D word.
Tak payah pikir. Tak payah pening. Beli aje Honda Cub.
You’d think for RM125k Honda would have leather seats across all variants, but no, gotta put fabric as it is the benchmark for a “basic” specced variant.
Engine more power but slower than the FC.
For the reason to preserve engine and parts to make it more durable. You push too hard, You need to decarbonize the car more frequently. For a proper works, it costs you more than rm700. Those cheaper not effective.
Getting more expensive and getting slower in sprint time? Wow, first time see it.
Outdated exterior design.
