With a production history that dates back to the early ‘70s, the Civic->ke236 is well established as Honda’->ke34s go-to standard for compact, economical commuting. It’s a nameplate that promises reliability, an array of body styles, plenty of equipment options, and even a little fun (if you know where to look). In April of 2011, Honda unveiled the Civic’s ninth generation, but was quickly criticized for the car’s lackluster interior and poor ride quality, even failing to earn a recommendation from Consumer Reports for the first time in the model’s history. Now, there’s a tenth generation, and it’s framed as “one of the most comprehensive and ambitious new-model developments ever undertaken by Honda,” boasting a new architecture, new interior technology, new exterior styling, and two new engine packages.

After presenting a concept at the 2015 New York Auto Show,->ke226 Honda officially announced the 2016 Civic on YouTube in September, 2015, first dropping cover on the ever-popular sedan body style. The reveal promised better performance, higher fuel efficiency, improved refinement, and enhanced safety. The lineup will once again offer a diverse selection of sedans,->ke142 coupes,->ke141 and five-door hatchbacks.->ke304 Most excitingly, the sporty Si model will also make its return, and for the time ever, the highly venerated Civic Type-R will finally land on U.S. shores.

The Civic has always been one of the staple models of the compact segment, but the ninth generation lost some of its credibility. Competition here is as unforgiving as it gets – can this extensive overhaul bring Honda back to the forefront?

Update 02/04/2016: Honda has issued a stop-sale for Civics equipped with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder due to claims of engine failure. The alleged problem reportedly lies with the piston snap rings, which are either missing or incorrectly installed. Some 34,000 Civics of the 2016 model year are affected. Honda expects to start the recall process in March. (Autoblog)

Pros

Exterior

As far as styling goes, this next-gen Civic stands out. The lines are sharp and deep, cutting through the bodywork front to back. The headlights are narrow, bookending a strong central grille blade that pushes into the front fenders. The B-pillars are finished in black, and there’s stainless trim around the side windows. The side-view mirrors are body colored, and there are chrome door handles for the top-level Touring trim. The profile is punctuated by a recess just above the side skirts, which is angled in such a way as to emphasize the sportback roofline. The rear looks large and chunky, with further styling elements in the bottom corners, plus dual exhaust tips (a Civic first) for the EX-T trim level and above. Blend in with the crowd, this Civic does not, and love it or hate it, you gotta hand it to Honda for at least taking a chance with the next-gen Civic’s styling.

While striking to look at, the new body panels also complement full underbody covers (a Civic first) for a 12-percent improvement in aero efficiency, making for the most aerodynamic Civic in the model’s history. Not only does this translate into higher fuel economy, but it adds up to a quieter cabin as well.

Coinciding with the new look, the exterior dimensions are altered. The sedan’s wheelbase is now 1.2 inches longer, with overall length increased by 2.9 inches, giving more room inside. The front overhang is now shorter, which helps the aero, while the rear overhang is longer for more storage. The sedan is also nearly two inches wider, gaining 1.9 inches in the front track and 1.6 inches in the rear track, plus it’s lower, losing 0.8 inch in height.

Sizing, styling, and material composition for the wheels vary, and include 16-inch steel units with full covers for the base-model LX, 16-inch alloys on the EX, and 17-inch alloys for the EX-T, EX-L, and Touring. Every wheel option comes wrapped in all-season tires. Like the new exterior, each wheel design is unabashedly unorthodox. They’re all a little too busy for my taste, but I’m prone to throw on a set of aftermarket wheels regardless of what comes from the factory.

Every 2016 Civic model comes with standard LED daytime running lights and C-shaped LED taillights. There are also optional LEDs for the headlights and amber turn signals.

Customers can choose between nine exterior paint options, four of which are new – Aegean Blue Metallic (new), Burgundy Night Pearl (new), Cosmic Blue Metallic (new), Crystal Black Pearl, Luna Silver Metallic (new), Modern Steel Metallic, Rallye Red, Taffeta White, and White Orchid Pearl.

Interior

Every area of the Civic was revamped for 2016, but considering how the interior of the previous generation was so widely critiqued, it’s no surprise Honda pulled out all the stops for the tenth-gen’s cabin.

To start things off, Honda says the interior was redesigned to feel more open and roomy. More substantially, the automaker boasts it now offers the “most spacious cabin in the compact class.” The sedan still seats five, with a maximum 97.8 cubic feet of passenger volume offered in the LX (other trim levels get 95 cubic feet). That’s an extra 3.2 cubic feet of space compared to the 2015 model, with an extra 0.3 inch of front headroom (despite the lower roof), an extra 0.3 inch of front legroom, an extra 1.2 inches of rear legroom, an extra 0.4 inch of front shoulder room, an extra 1.7 inches of rear shoulder room, and an extra 3.2 inches of front hip room. It should also be noted there’s 4.1 inches less rear hip room.

There’s a new driving position as well, with a hip point that’s been dropped an inch thanks to a lower floor. Forward visibility is improved thanks to thinner pillars.

In back, there’s a maximum 15.1 cubic feet of cargo space – 2.6 cubic feet more than the previous model. The trunk is wider, deeper, and taller, capable of holding four golf bags compared to the old model’s three. The lift-over height is also lower. More practicality comes with a rear-folding seat on the LX, which upgrades to a 60/40 rear split on higher trim levels. There’s also 7.2 liters of storage in the console.

Honda went to great lengths to refine the Civic’s cabin comfort and ride quality, even claiming high-dollar European luxury cars as the benchmark for NVH (noise/vibration/harshness). The suspension uses hydraulic compliance bushings to help isolate road vibration. There’s flush-mounted acoustic glass for the windshield, and better seals for the engine compartment and doors. The cabin is so tight, there’s a 58-percent reduction in air leaks, giving the 2016 Civic the most tightly sealed body in the model’s history.

Most reviewers found the outgoing model’s dash to be too cluttered and cheap feeling. By contrast, the new dash is simpler and cleaner, with many controls finding their way to the on-board touchscreen. Materials are improved throughout, and while there’s still plastic here and there, there are also one-piece, soft-touch surfaces with molded stitching for the instrument panel, plus a piano-black finish and high-contrast silver bezel for the center console. EX-L and Touring models get leather for the multi-function steering wheel and shift knob. LEDs are used for cabin illumination and the shift light.

For instrumentation, the base-model LX gets analogue gauges, while the EX trim and above get a new digital display mounted just behind the steering wheel. Honda calls this digital unit a Driver Information Interface, and it’s used for vitals like road speed and engine rpm, but also maintenance reminders, stereo settings, navigation, and more.

Standard equipment across the line includes automatic climate control, automatic one-touch up/down front power windows, a 12-volt power outlet, and an electronic parking brake with hill start assist. Higher trim levels get dual-zone automatic climate control, Walk Away automatic door locking, an eight-way adjustable driver’s seat, heated seats, remote start, smart entry with a push-button starter, and an automatically dimming rearview mirror.

For infotainment, there’s a good deal of differentiation between the various trim levels. Standard features across the lineup include Bluetooth connectivity and audio streaming, a single USB interface, hands-free text messaging (a functionality that reads incomings tests over the audio system and allows the driver to answer with one of six preset responses), Pandora compatibility (allows you to control features like changing the station, pause, skip, “Like” and “Dislike”), illuminated infotainment controls on the steering wheel, voice recognition, and hands-free phone calls.

The base-model LX comes with a 5-inch screen and 160-watt, four-speaker audio system. Step up to the EX and above, and you’ll get a 7-inch screen, an upgraded stereo, and a second USB interface. Higher trim levels also come equipped with HondaLink, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

The mid-range EX-T trim level and above come with available SiriusXM and HD radio, while the EX-L and above come with Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation. Finally, the top-range Touring model gets a 450-watt, ten-speaker audio system with a 7.9-inch subwoofer mounted centrally in the rear deck (Honda calls it the “most powerful in the Civic’s segment.”).

Drivetrain And Handling

Turbocharging is the way of the future. It offers more power, better fuel economy, and lower emissions, all of which are crucial in this segment. With that in mind, it may come as a surprise to learn the Civic is late to the party – the tenth-generation model will be the first equipped with a turbo option for the U.S.

But believe it or not, that’s actually not a bad thing. Honda is in a class of its own when it comes to getting the most bang for your buck from an atmospheric powerplant, and its built that reputation by pioneering technology like variable valve timing for road cars.

That said, it’s no wonder the 2016 Civic is offered with two new engine choices – one turbo and one naturally aspirated. Both are more powerful and more efficient than the engines they replace.

Let’s start at the bottom. LX and EX trim levels come with a naturally aspirated, DOHC, 16-valve, i-VTEC 2.0-liter four-cylinder. While technically “new,” it’s related to the 2.4-liter unit in the Accord and the 2.0-liter unit in the Euro-spec Civic Type-R. It uses multi-point injection and has a redline set at 6,700 rpm. Output is rated at 148 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 138 pound-feet of torque at 4,200 rpm, which is 15 horsepower and 9 pound-feet more than the SOHC 1.8-liter engine it replaces. That makes it the most powerful base-model engine ever offered for the Civic.

Step up to the EX-T, EX-L, or Touring model, and you’ll get a turbocharged, DOHC, 16-valve, VTC 1.5-liter four-cylinder. It uses direct injection and a low-inertia mono-scroll turbocharger pumping out 16.5 psi of boost. Redline is set at 6,500 rpm. Output is rated at 174 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 162 pound-feet of torque at 5,500 rpm, making is the most powerful engine ever offered in a non-Si U.S.-spec Civic.

Both engines use aluminum alloy for the block and head, and run on regular unleaded 87-octane gasoline. Both are also equipped with “Econ” mode, whereby drivers can push a button to get softer throttle response and lower draw from the climate control, thus boosting fuel economy.

Speaking of fuel economy, both the NA 2.0-liter and turbo 1.5-liter simply sip the dino juice. The EPA has yet to post final ratings, but Honda expects both engines to return 40 mpg or better on the highway. That’s not too shabby, especially when you consider how the 2015 Toyota Prius hybrid gets 48 mpg on the highway.

Specific estimates are as follows (city/highway/combined): 27/40/31 for the 2.0-liter with a six-speed manual, 31/41/35 for the 2.0-liter with a CVT, and 31/42/35 for the 1.5-liter with a CVT. Emissions are low too, with the California Air Resource Board giving the 2016 Civic a LEV3-ULEV125/LEV3-SULEV30 rating.

But what about acceleration? Honda has yet to release specific figures, but there are a few publications out there that have put the 2016 Civic through its paces. Motor Trend recently posted a 0-to-60 time of 7.2 seconds for the top-line Touring (1.5-liter engine, CVT), while also listing the base-model LX (2.0-liter engine, six-speed manual) as sprinting to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds. Meanwhile, Car And Driver posted a time of 6.8 seconds for the 0-to-60 sprint in the Touring (1.5-liter engine, CVT). All things considered, those numbers are more than adequate for this segment.

What’s more, the 2016 Civic should be just as reliable as the old, boasting up to 100,000 miles without any scheduled tune-ups (barring periodic inspection, fluids, and filters. It should also be noted that this could vary on driving conditions).

Routing the power, we find three different gearboxes – one manual transmission and two continuously variable transmissions (CVTs). For the 2.0-liter-equipped LX trim level, buyers can opt between an updated six-speed manual, or a CVT automatic (the EX only gets the CVT). The six-speed replaces an outgoing five-speed manual, while the CVT is an evolution of the previous generation, offering a retuned torque converter and new G-Design shift logic.

Trim levels equipped with the 1.5-liter engine are mated exclusively to a CVT, which is a shame for those who want both turbo power and a third pedal. The 1.5-liter’s CVT differs from the 2.0-liter’s transmission in that it’s evolved from the same gearbox found on the Accord, offering a higher final gear for a lower cruising rpm, as well as new G-Design shift logic for better acceleration and less “rubber-band” feel. There’s also a new turbine twin-damper design to cut into any turbo lag. Finally, the CVT comes with an “S” mode for more aggressive driving.

The 2016 Civic is based on Honda’s new compact global platform. It’s all quite sophisticated, with 12 percent of the body made from ultra-high-strength steel, 11 percent more than the outgoing model. This material offers 25 percent higher torsional rigidity, which makes it the most rigid chassis in the model’s history.

And despite the car’s larger dimensions, the new steel also cuts 68 pounds from the body weight. Each trim level weighs less than 3,000 pounds, even the top-range Touring model.

For handling and ride refinement, Honda tried to boost both fun and comfort – opposite sides of the equation as far as suspension tuning goes. To that end, the chassis comes with a redesigned MacPherson strut setup in the front and a new multi-link independent setup in the rear. The center of gravity is 0.6 inch lower, and there are larger stabilizer bars with bonded bushings front and back. The back also has aluminum damper brackets. Finally, all models come with Honda’s Agile Handling Assist, which is an improved brake vectoring system that enhances tractability.

The steering is tweaked as well, using a new variable-ratio electric power setup. Responsiveness is upped with a quicker 2.2 turns lock-to-lock, down from the old Civic’s 3.1 turns. There’s also Straight Driving Assist as standard, which applies additional electric power to reduce steering effort on sloped and crowned roads.

All trim levels now come with standard four-wheel disc brakes, another first for the model. There are 11.1-inch rotors up front, 10.2-inch rotors in the rear, and single-piston calipers all around. The master cylinder was also revised for a shorter, firmer brake pedal stroke.

Safety

The outgoing Civic got four out of five stars from the NHTSA in overall crash tests. Anything less than the highest possible safety rating simply won’t do for a top-compact competitor, so for 2016, Honda says it designed the Civic to achieve five stars in every NHTSA category. It also wants a top “Good” rating in every category from the IIHS, and a spot in the IIHS’s Top Safety Pick+ list.

The new high-strength steel goes a long way towards that end. Significant improvements were made to pedestrian safety as well, such as with a deformable hood and an energy-absorbing windshield base.

Standard safety features include stability control, traction control, ABS, EBD, brake assist, LED daytime running lights, an SRS front airbag system, front side airbags, side curtain airbags with rollover sensing, LATCH child seat anchors, and a multi-angle rearview camera.

There’s also an available Honda Sensing package (standard for the Touring trim level), which adds a variety of autonomous features. These include automatic braking, forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, road departure mitigation, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control with a new low-speed follow feature.

Finally, all trim levels (excluding the LX) come standard with Honda LaneWatch, which uses a camera mounted in the side-view mirror to project a real-time image of the car’s blind spot onto the display.

Competition

Ford Focus

The blue oval has its own range of compact competitors, including four-door sedans, hatchbacks, and fire-breathing performance machines, and they all carry the Focus moniker. Styling is rather subdued next to the Honda, with softer lines and rounded shapes. Engine options include a 2.0-liter four-cylinder good for 160 horsepower, and a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged to 123 horsepower. Either a five-speed manual or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic route the power. Pricing starts at $17,170.

Conclusion

Sales dipped in 2011 after Honda released the ninth-generation Civic, and while they’ve since recovered, you could say the automaker is still playing a game of catch-up. All told, the 2016 Civic is a genuine attempt at reasserting Honda’s dominance in the compact segment. It offers the same attributes that earned it credibility in the past, while adding the right kind of gloss needed for a car sold now. Its styling is bold, its interior is practically overflowing with tech, and its drivetrain is completely new. It’s even a lot safer. Frankly, I believe John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co, Inc., when he says, "This tenth-generation Civic is quite simply the most ambitious remake of Civic we’ve ever done.”

At its heart, the compact segment is all about reliability, mpg, value for the money, build quality, and a bit of comfort for the daily grind. The 2016 Civic ticks all those boxes handily.

And even though the nameplate has been around for over four decades, Honda seems eager to continue the Civic’s evolution. This tenth generation is an impressive effort for a number of reasons, not least of which is the list of “firsts” and “mosts” – it’s the most powerful non-Si U.S.-spec Civic ever, it offers the most powerful base-model engine in the model’s history, it’s the first turbo Civic available for U.S. consumption, it has the most rigid chassis in the model’s history, it’s the most aerodynamic Civic ever… it goes on and on. Clearly, the aim is to keep this compact icon going for another forty years into the future.

Simply put – the Civic is back.
