  • 2016 Honda Civic Sedan Begins its Production Today!

    Honda announced the global start of mass produciton of the latest 2016 Honda Civic Sedan at Honda of Canada Mfg. Scheduled to go on sale across US and Canada in November, this 10th generation Civic Sedan is by far the most ambitious remake of the lineup for the last 40 years. Or at least, it is believed so. And considering the fact that this is Honda’s best-selling vehicle, this latest Civic model deserves some attention.

    Today’s ceremony will also follow Honda’s announcement of the vast investment of $857 million over three years to boost the innovative features of production facilities in Alliston. The new Civic will be created at the Honda plant in Greensburh Indiana and will feature the latest turbo engine which is exclusively created at Anna plant, Ohio.

    In fact, there are more than 9 million Civic models produced in North America since 1986, which includes 4.5 million in Canada and almost 4.5 in US. As you might know, back in 1973, the brand launched about 12 million units, 10.2 of which were sold in US and 1.9 in Canada.

    Furthermore, the 10th generation Civic will include a sedan, coupe, high-performance Si model and a 5-door hatchback. And let’s not forget the Civic Type-R for the North American market. And this time, the dramatic looks will be backed up by two all-new engines, one of which is the latest Honda Turbo Engine. Sweet, right?

    2016 Civic lineup will also include smartphone integration with 7-inch high-definition Display Audio touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

    Athletic Exterior Design

    To get into details about new Civic’s design, we must note that the athletic stance of the car is due to its lower and wider proportions. Compared to the current generation of the model, the new one is 2 inches wider and 1 inch lower. Its wheelbase is 1.2-inch longer and features more compact and sporty front overhang as well as longer hood and fastback-style tail.

    Refined design details put the necessary highlight on the appearance. Take for instance the sleek and swept-back bodylines, sharp and aggressive face and the pronounced wheel arches. Exclusive but optional feature is the LED exterior lighting, which includes LED headlights, LED DRL and C-shaped LED taillights.

    More Spacious Cabin

    2016 Honda Civic Sedan Touring Interior

    The interior of the new Civic features additional 3.7 cubic feet of space, making the space for the occupants larger than ever. Premium goodies are also included inside: automatic climate control as a standard, dual-zone on EX-L and higher trims; auto-up/down front power windows; an electronic parking brake with Brake Hold; Walk-Away auto door locks and an adjustable driver’s seat.

    The materials used for the interior are only high-quality and there are more high-contrast finishes. These include a one-piece, soft-touch instrumental panel with molded stitching; full-color TFT center meter; center console with piano black finish and high-contrast sliver bezel, etc. The upper the grade is the more premium the features are.

    Two New Powertrains

    The new Civic Sedan will have the option to be equipped with two brand new powertrains. Precisely, Civic Sedan LX and EX trims will be powered by a 2.0-liter, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder unit, which will be mated to either a 6-speed manual (LX trim) or continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

    On the other hand, the EX-T, EX-L and Touring trims will be driven by a 1.5-liter, direct-injected and turbocharged 16-valve DOHC inline-4, mated to a unique CVT. By the way, the new 1.5-liter powerplant is the first turbocharged engine on a U.S. Honda model. Both engines promise to be performance oriented and at the same time efficient. At last, Honda has told us that more powertrain details and specifications will be announced closer to the launch of the car.
