2016 Honda Civic in Six-Minute Walkaround Video Inside and Out

 This clip is the closest thing to going up to a showroom and actually feeling the car, but since that's not an easy thing to do on a Sunday, spare six minutes of your time to see all there is to see on the new Honda Civic Sedan.

The Japanese have done great things with their popular compact sedan, even if you'd be hard pressed to call them revolutionary. However, the tenth Civic comes with a fully digital instrument cluster, something that's quickly becoming the norm regardless of the car's segment. This means the driver can customize the information the three-area split display can offer to his own liking. The graphics too are nice and clean with the usual Honda blue-colored theme.

Moving on to the main central touchscreen display, that too features a good resolution, even though we're not so convinced about the touch controls on the side - those tend to be hard to use while driving since they give virtually no tactile feedback. They do look good, though. The central console comes with very few buttons and has a simple yet elegant design. Materials used also give the impression of a more upscale product than the outgoing version.

The model shown here seems to be loaded up with all the goodies, including lane departure assist, rearview camera, leather upholstery, a sunroof and heated rear seats.

On the outside, there's plenty of chrome on the radiator's grille and around the headlights, which is really a thing of personal taste, but the overall look of the car is sporty and dynamic. The roof line is unusually dropped for a sedan, making the Civic look more like a four-door coupe. As long as rear headroom is not affected by it, that's never a bad thing.

The boot looks big enough and rear legroom also seems quite promising, so the new Honda Civic Sedan should also prove to be practical enough.

As far as the engine is concerned, the featured car came with the new 1.5-liter petrol turbo unit developing 173 hp. The only drawback we can think of is the CVT transmission, but we'll have to give it a try until we can have our final verdict.

Have a look at the video below provided by a member of the CivicX forum and see for yourself.
