Honda Civic Updates

Now into its 10th generation, the Honda Civic continues to develop with the times - this latest version benefits from a new, sportier look. The new Civic 4 door looks to marry up an athletic aesthetic with aerodynamic lines. Its new grille system also looks to add efficiency by encouraging airflow. Coming with a choice of either 16" or 17" alloys and more powerful and intelligent LED lights, the Civic's distinctive looks aren't lost to any upgrades.

Say goodbye to having to compromise comfort for style. In the Civic 4 door you can have both - the new seats are shaped to offer the maximum amount of comfort and support, while the rest of the car offers space in abundance. However, the engaging design of the drivers' cockpit ensures you still feel in control at all times whilst being surrounded by sporting elegance.

Available in three trim levels, you can choose between the SE, SR or range topping EX models. The new Honda Earth Dreams technology is present as well, meaning all specs are designed to look after the planet & fuel tank as much as possible. Though you’re unlikely to hit the claimed 80mpg, we found 60mpg easily achievable – with long runs likely to see this number spiral higher.

Brimming with technology to further enhance the driving experience, the new Civic 4 door is fully equipped for any long journey. Honda Connect allows you to stay in touch with your life whilst at the wheel. Make calls, access information and play songs all using your phone's interface via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Do all this and remain completely safe, thanks to the 8 separate driver assists that come as part of new Honda Sensing.

All used Honda Civics come with a wealth of technology on board; even the entry level S trim includes climate control, Bluetooth and alloy wheels. The SE model should come with added cruise control, reversing camera, along with automatic wipers and lights. Move up to the SR and you’ll get Sat Nav and heated seats, whilst the top of the range EX boasts keyless entry, LED headlights and interior ambient lighting.
