VET5 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2017 The 2017 Civic hatchback is currently being showcased at the Bangkok International Motor Show. It's powered by a 1.5-litre turbo 4-cylinder engine producing 173hp. Styling is differentiated from the that of the sedan with unique front and rear bumpers that have large faux inlets and outlets. The shortened rear hosts a tailgate and roof spoiler and C-shaped taillights. The styling looks a little busy but otherwise I think looks pretty good!

VET5 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 The facelifted Honda Civic has been launched in Thailand and is currently on display at the 2018 Thailand International Motor Expo 2018 and this is the one that will make its way to India. This one receives some subtle cosmetic changes - a new front bumper design, new fog lamp surround + a new horizontal chrome strip in the rear bumper diffuser area. Inside, there's an updated 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also features Honda's Sending advanced driving assistance system (only on the 1.5 RS model). The Honda Sensing suite includes adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane keeping assist, road departure mitigation system, collision mitigation braking system, and automatic high-beam system. Autocar India recently revealed that Honda will bring the Civic sedan to India early next year. The India-bound Civic will come with a 140hp, 1.8-litre petrol engine mated to either a six-speed manual or an automatic gearbox. And, like the upcoming CR-V, the Civic will also be available with a diesel engine for the very first time (a 120hp, 1.6 litre unit).

sachins 51 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 I think Honda got the engine and gearbox combinations wrong for Civic. Enthusiasts would have preferred petrol to be available with manual (instead of CVT) and general public would have loved diesel AT (instead of manual). But again, everything will depend on the price and this segment is anyway seeing a downward trend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think soon, the manual gears will become the thing of past. I know people who are driving for almost 20 years and they still mess up with the clutch, specially the ladies, who have this habit of unnecessarily pressing clutches, for no reason. Honda has to price it lower than Toyota Altis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maverick786us1 2 Report post Posted February 25, 2019 https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/2019-honda-civic-vs-rivals-specifications-comparison-411499 Seriously.....Honda pricing Civic above Corolla Altis and other rivals in that segment? I think Honda should reconsider the price. Honda City has more equipment, more features, than Corolla Yaris and yet its priced lower than Yaris. I am not saying that Yaris is by any means inferior than City and i am not saying that its a failure, its just that on the roads of Delhi, I have seen very few Yaris. Civic has to be priced in a similar fashion, when compared to Altis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is hard to say at this point if the Civic will be a success or not, Honda hasn't launched the car yet and all prices are currently just estimates. One thing to keep in mind is that if a brand has made a name for itself in a segment it is likely to perform better. The Civic made a name for itself when we had the old model and that will likely a big factor in its sales. Same is true with the City, we've had the car for multiple generations so it's got a name that people recognise while the Yaris is just the proverbial "new kid on the block".
