2022 Honda Civic Sedan: What’s on offer?

It was only recently that Honda US introduced the all-new 11th-generation Civic sedan. Showcasing a brand-new design first previewed on a prototype, the vehicle also benefits from several upgrades in departments like technology, engine, chassis, and safety.

Why are we so interested in the US launched Civic? Well, that’s because based on the earlier report, Malaysia might soon get its very own 2022 Civic within this year. Fingers-crossed.

Before the new Civic arrives on our shore, it is better to get a brief on the car and what it might offer. So, without further ado let’s get started.

2022 Honda Civic: Dimensions

Compared to the 10th-generation FC Civic model the all-new sedan is longer at 4,674 mm. Everything else, the width and the height remain unchanged.

Length	4,674 mm (33 mm more)
Width	1,801 mm
Height	1,415 mm
Wheelbase	2,736 mm (36 mm more)

 

2022 Honda Civic: Exterior

The all-new Civic is a stand-out car with its aggressive lines and refined design elements. Its sleek profile, bold signature elements, and C-shaped tail lights add to its fierce persona. A few mentionable exterior design highlights include -

• LED headlights - the Civic features LED headlights with auto-on/off function
• Sophisticated body lines - the sedan features a bold and aggressive face
• Sleek profile - Even when standing still, the sedan’s long wheelbase and sleek profile give it a sporty appeal
• Taillights with LED light bar - the C-shaped LED tail lamps give the car a strong styling statement
• Aggressive stance - the sedan offers a wide, aggressive stance
• Alloy wheels - the large 17-inch black alloy wheels give the car a contemporary look
• Decklid spoiler - this one is a tasteful, subtle enhancement, adding to its sleek aerodynamics

• Leather-trimmed seats and leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob

2022 Honda Civic: Engine

The US-spec model is offered in two engine options - a naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre 4-cylinder DOHC i-VTEC petrol mill making 158 hp at 6,500 rpm and 187 Nm at 4,200 rpm and a 1.5-litre VTEC turbo 4-cylinder unit generating 180 hp at 6,000 rpm and 240 Nm from 1,700 to 4,500 rpm.

Both the powertrains are paired to a revised CVT using a more robust electric hydraulic pump and a ball-bearing secondary shaft.

2022 Honda Civic: Safety

The latest Civic benefits from several advanced active and passive safety features along with Honda Sensing suite of advanced driver assistance features. The list includes -

• 10 airbags with the front units featuring a new structure to hold & cradle the head to minimise rotation in the event of a collision

The 2022 Honda Civic is obviously loaded with exceptional design elements, cabin tech, and safety features. Though the above-mentioned information is fully based on the US-spec Civic, however, we expect if not all a few to be carried forward in the Malaysia-spec Civic.
