Honda Civic 2019: Features explained

When was the first-ever Honda Civic launched? In 1972. Did you know that? 1972-2019, that’s a lot of years to count. And ever since the Civic saw the light of the day, it created its own space in the world of automobile, and consequently, a different fan-following. Through all these years, Honda kept on upgrading the Civic to match the changing trends and technologies. Today, the Honda Civic 2019 is one of the best sedans that you can buy not only in Malaysia but across the whole world. Honda has done a great deal of work in making the latest Civic as desirable as it is today. Here are some of its features.

Powerful and efficient engines

Let’s begin with the powertrains. The Honda Civic 2019 specs have two engine options. We have a 1.5-litre DOHC VTEC Turbo engine which has been tuned to churn out 173 PS of max power at 5500 rpm and generate a peak torque of 220 Nm at 1700 to 5500 rpm. This engine comes in both 1.5 TC and 1.5 TC-P variants. The other engine option is a 1.8-litre SOHC i-VTEC naturally aspirated engine which produces 141 PS of power at 6500 rpm and 174 Nm of torque at 4300 rpm. Both the engines are mated to the same CVT unit.

The two engines are blessed with Honda’s Earth Dreams Technology and hence promise to deliver an exhilarating drive with higher fuel efficiency. There’s also an eco assist function to keep an eye on the fuel consumption of the car by changing the colour of the display which indicates the efficiency of your drive.

Comfortable cabin

The cabin of the Civic 2019 is a very comfortable place to be in. It’s filled with luxury and high-quality material. The leather seats are very well bolstered and offer you a huge amount of support and comfort. The Civic provides a very plush and pleasurable driving experience. The driver’s seat is 8-way power adjustable. The dual-zone AC system allows both driver and passenger to set the temperature. There are also rear AC vents to keep the rear passengers happy.

Sporty instrument cluster

The three-pod instrument cluster of the Civic is very sporty. It isn’t like the conventional ones that you find in other sedans. The centre display shows a tachometer with speeds in digits and other necessary information as well like call display, music display, etc. The fuel gauge is on the right and the engine temp level is on the left. Everything is digital.

Advanced infotainment system

The Civic 2019 comes with a 7-inch advanced touchscreen display. Honda has also worked to improve its software to provide a seamless user experience. This infotainment system supports smartphone connectivity via both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Safety features

Honda is very serious when it comes to safety. The latest Civic 2019 comes with a plethora of safety features that can save your life. These features include multiple cameras, hill start assist, vehicle stability assist, emergency stop signal, G-force control, 6 airbags, auto brake hold, auto dim rearview mirror, etc.

Stylish exterior

The latest generation Honda Civic looks fabulous. There is a mix of both sportiness and elegance in its styling and design. The front end of the car gets huge LED headlamps with LED DRLs. While they make the car look sporty, the thick chrome grille imparts an elegance stance.

The rear end of the Civic is more towards the sportier end of the band. The two-piece combi tail lights are in the shape of a boomerang. They’re very sharp in design and look very attractive. What makes the Civic a bit more exotic from the rear is the bumper. You can tell that Honda spent a lot of time putting together the whole car.
