After the first release of the Honda Civic in 1973, the iconic car underwent major redesigns in 2006 and 2012, which had unfavorable results. The 2006 model lost the quintessential features of the car, while the 2012 model was noticed to have poor interior qualities. When people see the all-new 10th-generation 2016 Honda Civic, they will know that the car company made an effort to correct its past mistakes.
Ecumenical News said the 10th-generation Honda Civic underwent the most ambitious remake so it can recapture its sporty characteristic, while creating a world-class compact car. The 2016 model utilizes high-strength steel that is lighter but 25 percent stiffer. The company redesigned the chassis strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension as well. They also made significant changes under the hood to allow better car handling and a fun driving experience. The new Honda model now has a sporty look, and a bold and attractive new design.
The car company revealed that the 2016 Honda Civic will feature two new powertrains, including a 2.0-liter 16-valve i-VTEC four-cylinder engine with either a six-speed automatic or manual transmission.
Last month, Honda revealed the first preview in concept form of its 2016 Honda Civic at the New York International Auto Show. In this auto show, new pictures of the car will appear in showroom form when it's officially released towards the end of the year. Pictures also show that the car's headlights are slightly less futuristic than the concept's all-LED versions.
According to Gizmag, the Honda sedan models and the new Civic coupe will represent the all-new, 10th-generation cars to carry the Civic name. In due course, they will be joined by the five-door hatchback. In the meantime, the five-door hatch version of the 9th generation car looks likely to be around for a little longer, which is due to go on sale imminently.
The 10th-generation iconic car is expected to use 2.0L normally-aspirated four-cylinder engines and 1.5L turbocharged fours, and all come with Honda's VTEC variable valve timing and lift system.
