2017 Honda Civic

The dramatic and sporty Honda Civic design is grounded in its athletic stance and low and wide proportions. Compared to the previous generation, the 10th generation Civic is nearly 2 inches wider and 1 inch lower with a 1.2-inch longer wheelbase, featuring a more compact and sporty front overhang; a longer, more aggressively sculpted hood and fastback-style tail.

The Civic's more premium character is also highlighted by its available LED exterior lighting. The overall effect is one of dynamism and premium quality with an unmistakable and yet thoroughly modern Civic design aesthetic.

The interior of the 2017 Civic carries through on the exciting, modern and sophisticated styling of the exterior while providing enhanced comfort, leading-edge technology and class-leading quality. High quality, soft-to-the-touch materials are applied liberally-to the instrument panel, front door sash and door inserts and the large thickly padded center armrest.

Powering the 2017 Civic Sedan are two engines designed to provide highly refined, responsive and fuel-efficient performance. LX, and EX trims are powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with i-VTEC valvetrain producing a peak 158 horsepower and 138 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful base engine ever offered in Civic.

For 2017, the Honda Civic Sedan EX-T now features the sporty and engaging six-speed manual transmission paired with a 1.5-liter direct-injected and turbocharged engine producing a peak 174 horsepower and 167 lb.-ft. of torque -- up 5 lb.-ft. compared to models equipped with the Continuously Variable Transmission. The CVT remains optional on turbocharged EX-T trims, while standard on EX-L and Touring. Civic EX Sedans also now add HD Radio and XM Satellite Radio.
