The New Honda Civic
The Honda Civic is the eighth generation Civic and all-new in India, rolling out from the Honda Siel Cars plant located in Greater Noida. The Honda Civic has been voted as the ‘Car of the year’ for 2007. The Civic, after its launch in the US, comes with some tweaks to suit the Indian road. It is powered by 1.8L i-VTEC engine, comes with higher ground clearance and stiffer suspension. With top-of-the-line technology, sporty looks, choice of automotive and manual transmissions, the Civic is bound to please the Indian taste palates.
The Civic places itself in the entry-level D Segment and competes with Corolla and the Skoda Octavia. The Civic design is youthful and trendy in comparison with its competitors. The Civic comes in two choices: Petrol and Hybrid. 1.8E and 1.8V are the petrol versions and 1.3L is the hybrid version. The 1.8E comes with a 5-speed manual transmission whereas the 1.8V comes with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Hybrid engine comes with Continuous variable transmission.
Honda Civic Hybrid is powered by 1.3L i-VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) engine combined with a compact and efficient electric motor – IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) system. The hybrid system provides three stages of valve timing (low-speed, high-speed, and valve-deactivated mode). As soon as you apply brakes, the “idle stop” feature occurs automatically, making the engine stop temporarily. When brake pedal is released, the engine restarts on its own. This way, a good amount of fuel is saved and emissions are minimized.
The powerful engine, nimble handing and futuristic technology of Honda Civic Hybrid are wrapped up in a sophisticated design. The car’s frontage deserves special mention – it is adorned with clear lens fog lamps, beautiful headlights, and a sleek front grille. In the rear side is an aerodynamic trunk spoiler, which adds to the presence of the automobile. The unique 15-inch, lightweight alloy wheels add a stylish touch to the luxurious sedan. As far as comfort is concerned, people will forget the outside world, because it is so relaxing to take a ride in Civic Hybrid.
Clad in top-quality leather, the seats of Honda Civic Hybrid are very comfortable to sit on. The sporty cockpit cabin of the car is equipped with high-tech audio system that has been integrated on the dash. Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control System facilitates uniform cooling throughout the cabin. Apart from this, Civic Hybrid also comes equipped with vanity mirrors as well as front and rear center armrest. Audio controls are mounted on the steering.
Honda Civic Hybrid has a number of safety features to boast of. These include specially designed front dual SRS air bags, G-CON technology, Antilock Braking System (ABS), and active headrest. G-CON technology is an advanced passive safety feature, which shields the passengers of the car by providing a survival zone in case of an unavoidable collision.
Honda Civic Hybrid comes equipped with Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which blends the effortlessness of an automatic with the efficiency of a manual transmission. CVT is combined with the Drive-by-wire Throttle System, in order to provide the most efficient drive ratio possible, depending on the torque load. The electric motor of the car assists the gasoline engine during acceleration and stores energy during braking and deceleration.
The Honda Civic is the futuristic family car!
The most favourite two colors – Premium Pearl White and Alabaster Silver, Honda Civic Hybrid is worth Rs 21.5 lakh (approx).
