Honda Civic 2020 - 2021

The 10th generation Honda Civic features a compelling-styled exterior characterized by angular accents and sharp lines all over its body. Top E and RS Turbo variants have LED headlights and C-shaped tail lights that come as standard. Honda Civic’s current iteration is one of the biggest among its ten generations, and it is also the most aggressive stance. The designers of Honda decided to scrapped the three-pillar design and replaced it with a more fastback sort of approach.

HCPI still offers the Honda Civic in White Orchid Pearl, Modern Steel Metallic, Lunar Silver Metallic, and Ignite Red Metallic. Now, it is also available in new color options Midnight Burgundy Pearl and Cosmic Blue Metallic.

Stepping inside the Honda Civic, you will be welcomed by a sporty cabin dominated mostly by soft fabric or leather and soft plastic. The RS trims also have sporty accents in the form of seat designs and contrasting stitches. Top-tier variants of the Honda Civic are equipped with a digital gauge cluster that complements the display head unit.

It comes with auto up/down windows, speed-sensing door locks, automatic headlights, electronic parking brake with brake hold, and a fully-digital instrument cluster. The vehicle is also employed with an infotainment system measuring seven inches with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Sound is transmitted to the whole cabin through six speakers. However, the RS Turbo variant gets an advantage with ambient lighting, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. offers the Honda Civic in two engine options. The first option is the 1.8-liter i-VTEC inline-4 power plant that pumps out 141 horsepower and 174 Newton-meter of torque. These numbers make the latest Honda Civic one of the cars with a powerful engine in its class. But Honda made a more remarkable number with the second engine option: the 1.5 turbocharged engine that creates 173 hp and 220 Nm of torque.

Both engines are paired to a Continuously Variable Transmission that performs excellently on open and flat roads. However, it has a little trouble overcoming steep inclines.
