Honda Civic
Uni Eropa Version will be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA). Almost
all of the components that exist on the new 2012 Honda
Civic bodies EU-version has been redesigned with a special focus on travel and
handling, to reduce CO2 emissions, design and quality interior, while retaining
the class-leading cabin, boot space and practicality.
The designers of the new 2012 Honda Civic-The European Union wants to keep the
version of character elements and sporty car, adjusting to communicate the new
model feels more dynamic. This concept is a clear break in a new direction,
rather than relying on the strength and power to provide a sporty image,
"mixed body" by reducing the resistance showed more savvy to the new Honda Civic EU-Version.
Honda Civic is currently known for its unique interior design and futuristic
sporty exterior styling, but also with a vast and versatile interior. Core
characteristics of this design is to be maintained in the development of the
new Civic, but with a focus to improve the feel of the car. Source of
inspiration comes from the layout of the cockpit control panel and a fighter
jet cockpit racing car that allow natural and intuitive operation of all
controls. Feeling of sitting in the driver's seat with the driver's focus
reflects the space comfortable feeling of relaxation and control. The feeling
is a car designed around the driver - the final expression of Honda's principle
of 'man maximum, machine minimum'.
Two new wheel designs are available – a 16-inch ‘Sporty’ design and a bold
17-inch ‘Dynamic’ option. The overall exterior styling is a perfect example of
design working hand-in-hand with engineering – the aerodynamics of every
component have been optimised alongside the bold forms and feature lines that
the designers wanted. The central fuel tank layout has been retained, allowing
for more space in the cabin, and the current Civic’s much-loved ease of use and
roomy interior remain uncompromised.
The new Civic will be offered with three engine options: a 1.4 l i-VTEC petrol
unit, a 1.8 l i-VTEC petrol unit and a 2.2 l i-DTEC diesel unit. All the
engines are combined with a 6-speed manual gearbox, ECO Assist, and Idle Stop.
They are also equipped with Hill Start Assist. The1.8 l engine can be paired
with a specially designed 5-speed automatic transmission. While enhancing the
performance, the 2.2 l i-DTEC unit achieved nearly 20% better fuel economy and
the 1.8 i-VTEC 10% in comparison with their predecessors. The chief goal in the
engine and transmission development was to maintain the high performance driving
experience whilst improving the overall efficiency of the engine resulting in
lower running costs.
