NEXT-GEN HONDA CIVIC REVEALED , TECH UPDATED

 ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NEW 11th GEN HONDA CIVIC 

The new 11th-gen Honda Civic has been revealed for the North American market. Compared to its predecessor, the new Civic looks more grown up, sits on an updated platform and features a longer wheelbase, among other changes. Let’s take a look.

Side profile

The production version of the new Civic stays faithful to the prototype shown last year, and the lean, low, long proportions are kept intact, with a 33mm increase in overall length, and a 35mm stretch in wheelbase over the outgoing Civic, with width and height remaining the same. It's allowed Honda to pull back the A-pillar 50mm, elongating the already low-set hood that leads into a low belt line, itself 25mm lower than the current-gen car's. Wheel track width is 12.7mm wider at the rear, for increased stability and a more squat appearance, helped by the strong rear haunches. 

ENGINE 

Two engine options have been confirmed for the Civic so far – a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol. Both units come with a CVT gearbox as standard. The 2.0-litre petrol develops 160hp and 187Nm of torque – identical to the unit in the 10th-gen US-spec Civic. The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, meanwhile, puts out a stronger 182hp and 240Nm. This incidentally makes it more powerful than the current US-spec Civic 1.5 turbo-petrol but as powerful as the Euro-spec model.

SAFETY TECH

The 11th generation Honda Civic goes big on safety too and gets the Honda Sensing safety suite that has a single camera and eight sonar sensors. There's also traffic jam assist, low-speed braking control, and front and rear false-start prevention. The car also gets upgraded versions of adaptive cruise control and linear steering from lane-keeping assist. The new Civic also gets rear-seat side airbags for the first time taking the total number of airbags to 10.

WILL THE CIVIC MAKE IT'S WAY TO INDIA?

There's no word on the new-generation Honda Civic coming to India anytime soon. The 10th generation version was pulled off the market last year  due to lack in demand . It's a very hard fact to digest that Honda will bring the CIVIC to INDIA .
