The ninth generation of the Honda Civic came with a shocking design, inspired by the manga cartoons. It featured more parts from the eighth generation, including engines and transmissions.
The 2006 Honda was the car that helped the Japanese brand to boost its sales. It was a car that attracted more customers for the brand due to its unusual, bold, design. For the 2012 model, the designers went further, with a radical look.
The aggressive headlights and reshaped grille with a lip on its lower part. While the overall shape of the car remained almost the same, all the body panels were changed. The car was aerodynamically enhanced, to increase the fuel-efficiency. The very raked A-pillars and the arched roofline had their contribution to decreasing the drag coefficient. On top of that, two small fins were glued to the rear quarter panels to decrease the rear turbulence. A novelty was for the rear doors that could have been opened at 90 degrees, allowing much better access for the rear seats.
Inside, there was a new dashboard that featured almost the same layout as its predecessor, but with a cleaner look. The divided instrument panel with the speedometer on top and the tachometer on the bottom part was kept. The seats were changed when compared with the previous generation. The high seating driver position was the same, due to the placement of the gas tank under its seat. The rear seats kept the “Magic seats” system, that allowed a folding and lifting them to increase the already big trunk.
Under the hood, the Civic was offered with a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine or wit a newly developed 1.6-liter turbo-diesel.
