The tenth generation of the Honda Civic in Coupe guise now has a starting price. After applying the $835 destination charge, you’ll be looking at a two-door model that costs $19,885. That’s $410 more expensive compared to the Honda Civic Sedan LX and $760 more than the previous-gen Civic Coupe LX.
Slated to go on sale on March 15, the more stylish counterpart of the 2016 Civic sedan is available in three powertrain configurations. The entry-level LX model comes with a 6-speed manual connected to a 2.0-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft (187 Nm) of torque. Go for the $800 more costly LX CVT and the fuel economy improves to 34 mpg (6.9 l/100 km) combined.
LX-P, EX, EX-L, and Touring models come as standard with a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine mated to a continuously variable transmission. This combo fares better than the 2.0 i-VTEC with the CVT. Concretely, it does 35 mpg (6.7 l/100 km) on the combined cycle. Alloy wheels and automatic climate control are no-cost options regardless of model, which is a nice touch in the compact car segment.
“As the second model in our sportiest and most ambitious Civic lineup ever, the coupe sets the bar for performance, refinement and connectivity in the compact coupe segment,” declared Jeff Conrad, the senior vice president and general manager of Honda North America. Both members of the 2016 model year Civic family are built for the U.S. market at the manufacturer’s plant in Ontario, Canada. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine is also built in Ontario, Canada, while the 1.5 turbo mill and the CVT transmission are made in Ohio.
Honda North America will add a third model to the lineup in calendar year 2017 after the Civic Hatchback launches in Europe. Previewed by a jaw-dropping concept car at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, the all-new Honda Civic Hatchback will be built by Honda UK in Swindon.
