Honda is offering the new Civic in a single variant option in Singapore, i.e1.5 Turbo.

This power configuration helps Civic quality for Category A COE, the cheapest among the five Vehicle Quota Systems in Singapore.

The drive is sent to the front wheels via a CVT unit. Also, enhancing the driving fun is the paddle-shift system that provides a spread of ratios to accelerate off-the-line acceleration. Furthermore, it comes with three drive modes that help the driver drive according to his/her mood. On offer are - Normal mode for relaxed driving, Sport mode for heightened enjoyment, and ECON mode for a fuel-efficient drive.

The connectivity front is taken care of by a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto support.
