“The new Civic really is the embodiment of our global design team’s goal of styling a dramatic form that follows and speaks to the dynamic function of this ambitious redesign. The low and wide proportions, with the wheels pushed to the outmost corners, emphasize the Civic’s dynamic handling prowess and give the car a crouched and muscular look, like a tiger ready to pounce.” said Jarad Hall, Senior Exterior Designer and project leader of the Civic Sedan, for Honda R&D Americas.
To get into more specific details, the engine is a 2.0-liter, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC™ 4-cylinder, which complements to either a 6-speed manual (LX trim) or continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
