Body style: Hatchback
Segment: Compact
Production years: 2015, 2016
The ninth generation of the European Honda Civic was on its last stint and tried to remain convincing on a market that was eager to get a new compact hatchback.
Honda was almost ready to launch the tenth Civic generation, but since it wasn't the right time, they kept the ninth generation on the assembly line for another year, with some changes here and there to make it look more attractive.
The alien-looking Civic featured new LED daytime running lights at the front, which were quite scary to see them in the dark. The front bumper was also redesigned and looked sleeker than on the non-facelifted version. Its side skirts and rear bumper got a more aerodynamic design while the rear spoiler sported a black color. One of the most important upgrades was for the taillights, which received LED lamps.
Inside, Honda matched the infotainment unit with the car's look and installed an Android-Auto-based unit on the center stack. It offered the Honda-Connect ability and provided better connectivity while on the road. For selected countries, the system provided over-the-air updated traffic information.
Under the hood, the Civic kept the same engines as before: a 1.6-liter turbo-diesel and a 1.8-liter gasoline engine were the only options, apart from the ferocious turbocharged 2.0-liter for the TypeR model.
