There’s a thought The Civic isn’t merely a car. It’s a combination of hundreds
of ideas and clever thoughts brought together in a stylish,
behind every pleasure. cutting edge design. Every feature has its own unique
quality and remarkable benefit, but the end result is
always the same. Everything has been carefully designed
to give you the most pleasurable drive, every time.
Whether it’s the Civic VTi, VTi-L, Sport or Hybrid~,
this is one car that challenges conventional thinking
and enhances your driving experience.

There’s a reason for everything in the Civic.
The attention to detail Wherever you look in the Civic, you’ll find an idea. The first
thing you’ll notice is its revolutionary multiplex meter.

line of sight so you can check your speed while keeping
very moment you your eyes on the road. How incredibly clever. Then there’s
the Z-shaped arm brake lever, which of course isn’t just an
sit behind the wheel. ordinary lever. After all, we’re talking about the Civic.

This specially designed brake lever frees up space in
the front to give you a more comfy ride. We’ve even
like this that really make you smile. As for the power
door mirrors, driver footrest and keyless entry with
repositioned the gearshift so you can have more room
to move. The fully integrated CD tuner in the VTi and the
remote boot release, well, they’re just some of the
many thoughtful touches you’ll find in the Civic.
6 CD stacker in the VTi-L and Sport models are perfectly
aligned to the left of the steering wheel making all your
favourite tunes only a touch away. It’s the simple things
 Every flowing curve and elegant arch
combine to create an aerodynamic body
that makes the Civic as pleasurable
to drive as it is to watch.

Not just good looks.

The Civic is striking from every angle. But its low front
grille, cut-off tail and one sweep design aren’t just for
show. Every flowing curve and elegant arch combine
to create an aerodynamic body that makes the Civic
as pleasurable to drive as it is to watch.

Overall, the Civic is sharper and sexier with a redesigned,

sporty front bumper and sleek rear lights. The added touch
of flush-mounted grip door handles and mirror-mounted side
indicators on the Civic Sport model offer stylish functionality.
The Civic even has a uniquely designed aerodynamic
windscreen rake. Why? Well, it’s not just because it looks
great, it’s also to improve overall visibility. And unlike other
conventional wipers, its transverse windscreen wipers cover
17% more of the windscreen.

An engine that’s powerful

and fuel efficient.
Now that’s an idea.
The ingenious 1.8 litre SOHC i-VTEC engine contained
within both the Civic VTi and VTi-L, generates 103kW of
power and 174Nm of torque, yet uses only 6.9 litres of
fuel per 100km in the manual transmission*. This means
it delivers the power you would expect from a 2.0 litre
engine but has the fuel economy of a 1.5 litre.

How could this be possible, you ask? It’s all thanks to our
i-VTEC engine. Through the use of innovative valve control
timing, it maximises the amount of power and torque from
every drop of fuel. Then of course there’s the Civic Sport
and its impressive 2.0 litre engine which delivers 114kW
of power @ 6200 rpm and 188Nm of torque @ 4200 rpm.
Or for the more environmentally conscious, there’s our
Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV), the Civic Hybrid~. With
its combined use of a petrol engine and electric motor it
uses a mere 4.6 litres of fuel per 100km*. And that’s why,
as we like to say, the Civic 'drives every drop'.

What can we say? Our commitment to research and

development has led us to create an engine that performs
and responds to your driving needs.

The car that responds to you.
One of the Civic’s greatest pleasures is the drive itself.
From the very moment you take off on your journey,
the Civic’s precise handling and performance are obvious.
By refining the traditional strut suspension to link the
MacPherson front to the reactive double wishbone rear,
the Civic offers improved ride comfort and ultra-intuitive
control. Combine this with power steering and suddenly
every corner becomes an absolute pleasure, and you’ll
find parking has never been so quick and easy. Whether
it’s manouvering through city streets or cruising country
roads, the Civic is sure to excel.

The Civic offers a smooth 5-speed manual transmission or

a 5-speed automatic transmission with Grade Logic Control.
And for something extra special, the 2.0 litre Civic Sport
is equipped, in the automatic model, with steering wheel
mounted gearshift paddles, for an enhanced driving
response. Meanwhile, the 16˝ alloy wheels on the VTi-L,
and the 17˝ alloy wheels on the Sport don’t just offer
excellent road contact, they also add an impeccable sense
of style. And the power-assisted ventilated front disc/solid
rear disc brakes make for powerful yet smooth braking.

The 2.0 litre Civic Sport is equipped,

in the automatic model, with steering
wheel mounted gearshift paddles.

 A pleasure for all.

To fully appreciate the Civic, you really need to sit in it. Its interior has a stylish yet excitingly sporty look. The fully need to do is set the air conditioner to create the perfect VTi-L and Sport models, the 60:40 split rear seats fold down

We’ve given safety the most thought.

At Honda, we take safety very seriously. That’s why you’ll
find many clever thoughts in the Civic that make safety
paramount. We’ve given the Civic front and side airbags for
both driver and front passenger, front seatbelt pretensioners
and active head restraints to give you and your passengers
the best possible support. And for added protection,
there are also full length curtain airbags in all models.
But that’s just the beginning. If an accident ever becomes
unavoidable, our ingenious G-force Control (G-Con)
technology creates a protective cage around both you
and your passengers. And the collapsible body sections
absorb the impact of a collision, helping to prevent it
from reaching the cabin.
For added safety, the Civic is also equipped with
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), which works
simultaneously with our Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS). Together they control the front and rear brake
distribution, improving braking stability and performance
and preventing rear-end steering in emergency braking
situations. Another ingenious feature is our Vehicle
Stability Assist (VSA) with Traction Control which is
standard on all Civic models. It’s designed to detect
wheel-slip and combines braking and control of the
engine's power to regain traction. To help safeguard
your belongings, the Civic VTi-L and Civic Sport models
are also fitted with security alarms.

Dreams do
come true.
What if we had our own solar
cell production company?
In recent times Honda has branched out into mass
solar cell production. Honda’s unique C.I.G.S. solar cell
produces the highest level of conversion efficiency in
the thin film category and only requires half the energy
to manufacture, so it’s more environmentally friendly
throughout its entire life. Why does a vehicle company
produce solar cells? Purely so we know that we are doing
everything possible to help prevent global warming.
What if we tested our new
technologies in the most
extreme conditions possible?
At Honda we have always believed that racing is
fundamental to our development. It’s the ultimate
testing ground and regardless of whether we win
or lose, the same question is always asked – how can
we improve performance? And you can be sure that
for every improvement made on the track, there is
an equal improvement made to every Honda vehicle
that hits the road.
A choice of colours.
The Civic comes in a range of colours so, whatever your
lifestyle, you can tailor your Civic to be even more perfect.
What if our technology
was more... alive?
ASIMO, the World’s Most Advanced Humanoid Robot,
was born from a dream to create a robot that could benefit
people in everyday life. His name stands for Advanced Step
Sparkle Grey Pearlescent^ Alabaster Silver Metallic^
in Innovative MObility, a title he’s definitely worthy of.
Currently ASIMO’s capabilities include: running at 6 km/h,
walking on uneven surfaces, turning smoothly, climbing
stairs, pushing a cart, receiving and delivering trays and he
can even dance a little boogie if the occasion calls for it.
Our dream is that one day, everyone will have an ASIMO
of their own to help around the home or office.
Taffeta White Habanero Red Pearlescent^
What if a plane had its engines
mounted on top of the wing?
Well, it would be original and it would be called the
HondaJet. Secondly, the engines would have to be in a Crystal Black Pearlescent^ Dyno Blue Pearlescent^
special position on the wing we call ‘The Sweet Spot’.
That would then result in less drag at high speeds, 30%
better fuel economy and because there is no need for
structural engine mounts on the fuselage, 30% more
cabin space.
What if there was a car
that only emitted water?
Obviously the world would be a better place and the good
news is, such a car already exists: The Honda FCX Clarity.
It works by converting hydrogen into electricity, which
