Everybody deserves more thrills per gallon.
The Power of Smart Engineering
The responsive 140-hp, 1.8-liter, 16-valve, SOHC i-VTEC® engine is sure to put a smile on your face while achieving 25 city/36 highway mpg.[1]
Five Speeds Forward
Choose the smooth-shifting 5-speed automatic. Or there’s the 5-speed manual for a more hands-on approach.
Go with Power and Precision
Thanks to sophisticated suspension and steering systems, the Civic is exceptionally agile and responsive. Powerful braking is achieved with front disc and rear drum brakes on DX and LX vehicles, while the EX sports discs all around.
