Sportiest Honda Civic debuts in New York

Honda debuted its ultra-sporty Civic Concept at the New York International Auto Show last week, in preparation for the introduction of the 10th-generation Civic models this coming third quarter. With a sharper focus on spirited performance and class-leading versatility, the new Civic lineup will include Civic Sedan, Coupe and Si models along with the return of the Civic hatchback, followed by the launch of a new Civic Type-R as the performance flagship of the Civic lineup. The new Civic also will be the first US model to apply new VTEC Turbo engines from the company’s Earth Dreams Technology powertrain series.

The Civic Concept provides a glimpse forward to the thrilling design direction for the all-new 10th-generation Civic lineup launching in the US this fall. Featuring a longer wheelbase and lower, wider stance, the new Civic emphasizes its aggressive personality and the engaging experience it will provide behind the wheel. Proportionally, it boasts a longer hood, a shorter front overhang and a shorter rear deck, lending the Civic a more athletic and “in motion” appearance.
