Refreshed for the 2019 model year, the Honda Civic now has a price for the United States market. The three-box body style starts at $19,450 for the LX Sedan 2.0L 6MT, and the cheapest coupe is yours from $20,650 with the same engine and the continuously variable transmission.
“That Tonic Yellow Pearl sure looks good on the Civic Coupe, alright!” The color, like Platinum White Pearl and Molten Lava Pearl, are new for 2019. Standard features now include Honda Sensing technology on all trim levels, as well as styling changes inside and out. The gloss-black wing element on the grille is the easiest way to tell the 2019 apart from the pre-facelift.
Jumping inside the Civic, the interface for the Display Audio infotainment system now features a volume knob and physical buttons. It took Honda long enough to understand that some things shouldn’t change in the first place, but oh well, better late than never. The redesigned steering wheel and cupholder in the center console round off the list of improvements, along with gunmetal and metallic accents for the dashboard trim.
Also new for 2019 is the Sport trim level, which fills the gap between the LX and EX. 18-inch alloy wheels, black decklid spoiler, special badging, and chrome exhaust tips mounted in the bottom-center area of the rear bumper is how the Civic Sport rolls. As for the cabin design, Honda is much obliged to treat the driver to leather on the steering wheel and gearshift knob, red gauges, paddle shifters for the CVT-equipped model, leather-and-cloth upholstery, and aluminum sport pedals.
The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that comes standard churns out 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet (187 Nm) of torque, enough resources for the Civic to feel like a car instead of an oversized lawn mower. Customers who prefer forced induction can opt for the 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which is good for 174 horsepower and 162 pound-feet (219 Nm).
Of course, don’t forget the Civic Si and Civic Type R have more to offer.
