After six years of a relatively unchanged Honda Civic, Honda will reveal a newly redesigned 2012 Civic this week at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Kept under wraps, speculation and curiosity surround the 2012 Honda Civic.
Scheduled to arrive in showrooms this summer, the 2012 Honda Civic is expected to have a starting price just over a $16,000. The Civic will be offered in both a gas and a hybrid model to suit a variety of driving wants and needs. According to Edmunds, the 2012 Civic will most likely have a 1.8 liter, 4 cylinder engine with 150 horsepower.
While Honda hasn’t released definite information on the 2012 Civic, web sites such as Left Lane News and Auto Guide say the new Civic will receive a body update, making it look more energetic and sleek. A new front grille, new headlights and wider fenders create the 2012 Civic’s new look. Overall, the size of the Honda Civic will remain fairly unchanged. Buyers can choose between a two-door and a four-door design based on their needs.
Inside the 2012 Honda Civic, a larger cabin provides more headroom for all and legroom for rear passengers. Other inside improvements include climate control push buttons and leather seats.
Specifics on gas mileage haven’t been released, but the 2012 Honda Civic is expected to achieve better gas mileage than the 36 miles per gallon the 2011 Civic achieves. However, the 2012 Civic will keep many of the same features as the 2011 model, including:
- Two-tier instrument panel
- Flat rear floor for rear passenger comfort
- Dual stage multiple-threshold front airbags
- Occupant detection system
- Vehicle stability assist
- Anti-lock braking system
The 2012 Honda Civic is expected to be in showrooms late this spring, so be sure to check regularly with IndependenceHonda.net for more details on this exciting new vehicle!
