CONFIRMED: All-new Civic coming Nov. 23 with Honda Sensing, turbo engine

MANILA: The all-new, 11th-generation Honda Civic will come with Honda Sensing safety tech and VTEC turbo engine as standard, Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) announced.

The compact car will be launched in the market on November 23, 12:30 p.m, with a live broadcast on HCPI's Facebook page. 

With prices ranging from P1.3 million to P1.7 million, Honda said the 2022 Civic will come in three variants — Civic S and V Turbo CVT, and the range topping Civic RS Turbo CVT. 

The 2022 Civic, which received a five-star rating in the ASEAN NCAP crash test, features the Honda Sensing, packing "intelligent safety technologies." These gadgets are the following: 

• Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS).
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS).
• Road Departure Mitigation System with Lane Departure Warning (RDM with LDW).
• Auto High-Beam (AHB), Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow (ACC with LSF).
• Lead Car Departure Notification System (LCDN).

As for the specs, the spec sheet of the foreign-market 2022 Civic says that the car's 1.5-liter turbocharged L15B7 VTEC engine pushes 180hp (at 6,000rpm) and 240Nm of torque (at 4,500rpm). The engine is paired to a CVT system that promises better shift response. 

To celebrate the launch, HCPI will offer customers the chance to purchase a limited number of 2022 Civic cars finished in Platinum White Pearl—at no additional cost until November 30. 

Meanwhile, customers who will reserve a Civic V Turbo until December 31, 2021 are entitled to a free Modulo Trunk Tray and Modulo Exhaust Pipe Finisher. That will be on top of all other promotions offered for the November release until January 31, 2022.

The Civic V Turbo CVT vehicles will also arrive in January 2022. 

 

As for equipment, the Civic is likely to come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto infotainment, Bose 12-speaker system, on the top trim, and wireless charging. 

Behind the steering wheel, a high-resolution 10.2-inch digital display should be fitted. The highlight of the Civic's digital display is that when the car is put in Sport mode, the display changes its color to red.

The Philippines launch of the all-new Honda Civic will happen on November 23 at 12:30 p.m., to be broadcast via the official Facebook page of Honda Cars Philippines, Inc.
