2012 Honda Civic



ALL-NEW, REDESIGNED
2012 Honda Civic

Sedan Overview

Puts the sedan in its place. Out in front.

In a line of already reliable cars, the all-new Civic Sedan is our rock ? it'll be yours too. Completely redesigned from the outside in, the Sedan is laden with detailed design and innovative technology. The new intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) lets you personalize your Civic and manage many of its essential functions. The feisty i-VTEC® engine makes an invigorating drive a sure thing, while the ECON button assures it will also be an even more efficient one. And with plenty of safety features throughout, peace of mind is part of every ride.




Exterior


Fall for its lines
.

Four doors means we had even more room to work with when redesigning the Civic Sedan's clean lines and aerodynamic shape. The precisely engineered form means that you'll power through the air and hug the road on every turn. Because there's no reason a practical and convenient ride can't be streamlined and sleek, especially when it's a Civic.



Clear-view mirror.

You'll find plenty of practical features built right into the Civic Sedan. Available heated power side mirrors make for better visibility when weather starts to get ugly, and they also fold to give you more wiggle room in a tight parking space.


Eyes on the wheels.

The Sedan's restyled looks pair well with available sporty 16-inch alloy wheels. You'll look stylish whether you're pulling up to an elegant restaurant or picking the kids up from school.


Safety



It has your back. And front. And sides.

With an impressive array of standard safety features, every Civic is designed to help protect you and your passengers, no matter what model or trim. How? We'll let you count the ways: 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, 6 standard airbags and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) with Traction Control. It's simple: safety runs in the family.


ACE™ body structure

The highly innovative Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure disperses frontal impact energy, increasing occupant protection. Additionally, the Civic's ACE frame design allows for collision compatibility between vehicles of different weights and sizes



Six standard airbags

Six standard airbags line the Civic's cabin, including the revolutionary passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) airbag that will not deploy if the system detects a smaller-sized or out-of-position occupant.



Anti-lock brakes

For safe stopping, the Civic's 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps you maintain control under hard braking conditions, while Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) optimizes braking power based on weight distribution inside the vehicle.



Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control

The standard Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) system senses and corrects oversteer and understeer scenarios to enhance the Civic's handling and cornering stability, while Traction Control ensures grip in slippery conditions.



Child safety

The Civic comes equipped with Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) that offers secure child-seat restraint.



Pedestrian safety

Innovative pedestrian safety features come standard on the Civic, including energy-absorbing hood and front fenders and breakaway wiper pivots.



Reviews

The Chronicle Herald

"Honda has kept everything that made the current Civic so wildly popular, given it a mild physical makeover, added more features and lowered the price, ensuring it retains it value?" - thechronicleherald.ca

"Part of the fuel economy gains is attributable to lower weight. The use of high strength steel, lighter steering and exhaust systems and a new fuel tank has resulted in a seven per cent reduction." ? thechronicleherald.ca

National Post

"The new Civic has better balance, more content and it's fuel-efficient. " ? nationalpost.com"As before, the Civic's suspension is tuned to deliver a balance between ride comfort and agility. The setup works well. Body motion is well controlled, the steering has a crisp feel and, yet, the car soaks up the rigors of a rough road in stride. In this regard it remains class-leading." ? nationalpost.com

The Vancouver Sun

"The all-new models are roomier on the inside than the previous generation, slippery on the outside, and stuffed with improved technology to make driving more comfortable and more connected. " ? vancouversun.com

"?Civics consistently have among the highest residual values in the industry. There's no reason to believe these ninth generation models won't maintain that impressive track record" ? vancouversun.com

Interior


Seriously superior interior.

The Civic Sedan doesn't just look great outside ? the interior was designed to be just as sleek and stylish. With an available leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather trimmed interior, Honda's famed attention to detail is evident in the high-quality materials used throughout the cabin.


 

Take five.

With ample room for 5 passengers, the Sedan is ready for quick drives and adventurous road trips. Available 60/40 split rear seats mean you can pack in enough gear for the whole family. And the added luxury of available heated front seats means that once you're inside this car, you'll want to stay there.


 

Steering wheel controls. Technology well within reach.

Another of the Civic's many features designed to give you a more personal ride are the controls mounted on your steering wheel. Without taking your hand off the wheel, you can control music and radio through i-MID, set cruise control or answer phone calls with just a touch of a button. It's almost like having hands-free everything.



i-MID System. Function with all your functions.

Sitting in the heart of the two-tier digital instrument panel, i-MID is like mission control for all your mission-critical functions. Upload a personal photo as wallpaper background. Browse songs in your handheld device's music library. Surf your favourite stations with XM® Satellite-equipped models. Access Bluetooth® HandsFreeLinkTM to make calls. Use it to get important driver-related info like fuel consumption, or turn-by-turn directions if you opt for the available navigation system.  Just think of i-MID as the ultimate app.


Navigation system. Map out every journey.

With the available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™, asking for directions is as easy as pushing a button. Thanks to voice-activated control and a prime location in the Civic's two-tier instrument panel, you can keep your eyes on the road where they belong. You can also get turn-by-turn directions displayed right on the i-MID screen so you know what's coming next.


Travel in stereo.

To round out all of the Civic's audio capabilities, there's an available 160-watt audio system with 6 speakers. You'll be able to hear every nuance whether you're listening to music from your MP3 player through the USB device connector, the XM® Satellite Radio* or streaming it through Bluetooth® Audio. With features like these, the Sedan is like a state-of-the-art home entertainment system you can take to the drive-through.

 

Bluetooth® capability. Smartphone, meet smarter car.

The i-MID has many advanced features, including Bluetooth® HandsFreeLinkTM for safer calling on the move. The system pairs easily with your compatible phone, and also supports Bluetooth Audio so you can stream your tunes as well.


ECON mode. Take fuel efficiency to the next level.

Press the ECON button and your Civic will automatically adjust the engine and other non-essential functions to go into super-efficient mode. It's a quick and easy way to maximize your fuel consumption and make being frugal fun.

Eco Assist™. Civic's little helper.

With the Eco Assist™ feature, driving efficiently becomes a lot like playing a game. The blue and green bars on either side of the speedometer let you keep your eye on how many kilometres you can get out of every litre of gas. Keep it on green and you'll go farther.


Performance




Sedan yes, sedate no.

The Civic Sedan has the brawn to match the beauty of its outside looks. Tucked away under the hood is a powerful 1.8-litre, i-VTEC® engine with 4 cylinders, 16 valves and 140 horses. It's also primed for efficient rides with a fuel economy rating as low as 5 litres per 100 km on the highway. Technically speaking, it's a whole lot of fun.




Control, at your own speed.

Get a feel for the road in whichever way you see fit. Choose between the smooth-shifting 5-speed automatic transmission and the 5-speed manual transmission to personalize the way you get from A to B.



Curve with confidence.

Take every corner in stride with the Civic Sedan's responsive handling. On top of the increased structural rigidity of the Sedan's new exterior, you also get Motion-Adaptive Electric Power-Assisted Rack-and-Pinion-Steering, MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link double-wishbone rear suspension. It all adds to the Sedan's nimble control, which lets you feel your way around the road.


VSA®. Bear hug the road.

The Civic Sedan's exceptional handling is made even better with the standard Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) with Traction Control. The system gives you a hand in case you oversteer or understeer, so carving corners is that much easier. Traction Control means you'll be able to get a grip in almost any slippery situation.
