2012 Honda Civic - 2011 New York International Auto Show

Hard to believe, but the 2012 Honda Civic marks the ninth generation of the model's production in the United States. The 2012 Civic Remains one of the most agile compacts around, and the new version now also delivers 41 mpg in fuel-economy (HF) and 44 mpg sedan form as a hybrid. The 1.8-liter engine delivers 140 horsepower, no more than before. The Chevrolet Cruze is quieter, while the Mazda 3 can match the Civic's responsive handling-for-curve curve. The 2012 Honda Civic carries over its powertrain and chassis from the last generation largely unchanged. The 10.3-inch front disc brakes combine with 10.2-inch rear discs on the higher coupe and sedan trims, and They PROVE competent, though They deliver less stopping power than the competition (the lower DX and LX trim levels replace the rear discs with cheaper drum brakes). Edmunds In testing, a 2012 Honda Civic EX-L sedan stopped in 131 feet, a below-average result for this class.
In Addition to conventional sedan and coupe models, the 2012 Honda Civic  Will offer a sedan-only 41-mpg HF model, a hybrid sedan, a natural gas model, and Si coupes and sedans. Fuel economy on the 2012 Civic Si is up from 21/29 mpg city / highway to 31 mpg on the highway for the 2012 car. For the 2012 model year, this means 41 mpg on the highway and, as with the volume of Civic models, a five-speed automatic transmission and 140-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine.
Big changes are headed to the 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid for the 2012 model year. The Civic retains its 140-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine for 2012. With the five-speed automatic, non-HF models are expected to Achieve 39 mpg on the highway, a 3-mpg increase of from the 2011 model.
The rear of the vehicle is adorned with new bodywork dominated by large, re-styled tail lamps and a slightly more expressive Valance. In coupe form, the styling seems a lifted from the very-attractive Accord Coupe, and the lines wear well on the slighter form of the 2012 Honda Civic .
