Honda
launches much awaited All-New Civic
April
26, 2016 – Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), Honda’s
automobile business unit in the Philippines, unveils the much
anticipated iconic All-New Civic at Makati Shangri-La. The 10th
Generation Civic charms with completely redesigned exterior, modern and
expansive cockpit interior with a host of new and advanced technologies, and
Honda’s first locally available VTEC Turbo engine.
From the outside, the All-New
Civic has a more aggressive style inspired by the “Revolutionary Silhouette Advanced Neo Sedan” exterior design
concept. Its unique sporty design is further accentuated by its low and wide
stance, sleek and swept-back bodylines, and sharply defined character lines
that give the 10th Generation a coupe-like stance. Its bold front
fascia is complemented by Honda’s Signature
LED Lighting, which includes full LED
Headlights, and LED Daytime Running
Lights. The athletic design of the All-New Civic is also distinguished by
its distinctive C-Shaped LED Tail Lamps that truly highlight its
unique brand identity.
The top-of-the-line variant,
the All-New Civic RS Turbo gets sportier treatment with an RS Design 17-inch Alloy Wheels, Gloss Black Front Grille, Wing Type
Trunk Spoiler, Chrome Door Handles, LED fog lights and RS Emblem.
Under its hood is a DOHC VTEC Turbo Engine that delivers a
maximum torque of 22.0 kg-m at 1,700--5,500 rpm, and a maximum power output of
173 PS at 5,500 rpm. HCPI retains a 1.8 liter engine option for the All-New
Civic which produces a maximum torque of 17.4 kg-m at 4,300 rpm, and a maximum
power output of 141 PS at 6,500 rpm. The All-New Civic is powered by engines
that boast a powerful driving performance with uncompromised fuel efficiency.
Both engines are mated to a Continuously
Variable Transmission (CVT) developed under Earth Dreams Technology. The RS Turbo is also equipped with paddle
shifters for a sportier driving performance.
Harmonizing with the aggressive
sporty design of the All-New Civic is an interior that defines modern refinement.
The All-New Civic boasts a dynamic and wide cockpit design integrated with high
class soft-touch materials. The RS Turbo Variant gets leather seats, steering
wheel, and shift knob.
For a stronger driving
character, the All-New Civic consists of a high deck console that attributes to
the wide and spacious front row, which also allows for more leg and knee
room. Its instrument cluster was also
designed for more versatility and utility. The full color TFT Instrument Cluster of the All-New Civic includes a Multi-Information Display that allows
for quick browsing of vehicle speed, and vehicle-related information. This is
easily operated through a soft swipe on its Electrostatic Steering Wheel Controls.
For audio and entertainment,
the All-New Civic is equipped with a new 7-inch
Advanced Display Audio (RS Turbo gets incorporated navigation system) that
provides advanced touch controls, entertainment features, and Smartphone
connectivity. Climate controls are also featured on the Display Audio screen,
which may be adjusted through the Climate Control Button.
To fully extend the key
innovations of the All-New Civic, its Smart Key features numerous
functionalities. It includes the Remote
Engine Start Function that conveniently starts the vehicle engine and turn
on its Auto Climate Control System
from the outside, which allows the cabin to cool even before entering the
vehicle. The Smart Key Entry System also consists of a Walk-away Auto Lock Feature, which is an auto lock function that
automatically bolts all doors after sensing the Smart Key away from the vehicle
by approximately 2.5 meters.
In terms of safety, the All-New
Civic delivers a class leading performance.
The New Ace Body Design, and low and wide platform of the All-New Civic
not only attribute to its premium sporty styling, but also help realize better
torsion rigidity and above class crash safety. Its full suite of safety
features includes driver and passenger SRS airbags (with
side and side curtain airbags for the RS Turbo), Vehicle Stability Assist
(VSA), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Emergency Stop
Signal (ESS), Multi-view Reverse Camera with Dynamic Guidelines, Seat Belt
Reminder, ISOFIX and Immobilizer. The
All-New Civic also gets an Electric Parking Brake (EPB), which replaces the
conventional pedal or handbrake lever with a single button or switch. The Auto
Break Hold (ABH) incorporated in the EPB provides more convenience in different
driving situations.
The All-New Civic promises to
deliver an all new customer driving experience with its striking sporty design,
powerful driving performance, advanced set of key technologies and innovations,
and premium quality and upscale interior. With the unparalleled combination of
all its features, the All New Civic has already received several global awards.
