Honda Civic Returns With New Styling, Performance
Honda Civic Returns With New Styling, Performance Honda Motors Company Nigeria has introduced the all-new 2012 model of Honda Civic with new styling and performance. This, according to the company is a landmark achievement, as it said 39 years after it launched the first Civic,
“the car has remained a strong contender in the compact car category, offering unbeatable package for fun driving, utility and affordability.”
Now in its ninth generation, the all new 2012 Honda Civic offers more style, performance and technologies.
Some of these new highlights include mild styling updates, improved fuel economy and more power especially for the Si model.
Speaking at the press launch, the Marketing Director, The Honda Place, Mr Deepak Daryanani, said “the line-up of Honda Civic is made better with each update, posing knotty challenge for competitions in its class.”
Deepak, who described the modification as though mild, also envisioned ostensible influence the new Civic could have on prospective customers that are apprehensive of unprecedented predicaments that have lately overwhelmed competing brands.
He said the new Civic like every other Honda models is “guardedly engineered to deliver unassailable value and eminence” that could give the car an edge in the competitive marketplace.
Deepak listed some of the new features of the newly launched Civic as stability control, which he said is now standard throughout the model line-up and frugal fuel consumption.
Other upgrades for the 2012 model, according to him include more interior room (three inches of additional shoulder room up front and another 1.6 inches of rear legroom), and a few new technology features such as a five-inch information display, increased availability of iPod connectivity and an economy mode (ECON) to help deliver maximised more miles per gallon.
The ECON mode, he said delivers enhanced fuel economy by automatically adjusting the function of the engine, air conditioning and other key systems that affect fuel efficiency.
These improvements, Deepak said, would make the 2012 Honda Civic “a solid pick in the compact cars’ category.”
Powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that churns out 140 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque, the front-wheel-drive 2012 Honda Civic comes in both manual and automatic five-speed transmission.
This combination returns fuel economy estimates ranging from a low of 45kmpg city/55kmpg highway. In a recent Edmunds performance testing, the new Civic went from zero to 96 kmph in 9.2 seconds.
The all new Civic is equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels, rear disc brakes, auto-on/off headlights, a sunroof, variable intermittent windshield wipers, 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks, an outside temperature display, Bluetooth and a premium seven-speaker sound system.
The VTi model however, adds leather upholstery, heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. A navigation system with voice controls, satellite radio and real-time traffic updates is albeit optional.
“For enhanced visibility, peace of mind at night and in the rain,” Deepak said “the headlights are incorporated with fog lights, while the door mirrors have add-in turn signals with extra style.”
The Civic futuristic cockpit is similarly arranged to give the driver total control of important displays and controls which are located within reach - directly in front.
Buttons for audio, cruise control and more for instance are fitted intuitively on the steering wheel, making this revolutionary interface seamless to use. Drivers would also delight in the adjustable seat and steering wheel, which further enhance comfort and relief.
