HONDA CIVIC SEDAN

The all-new Civic is the first Honda-badged car to adopt Honda’s Earth Dreams technology. Earth what? That’s the name of Honda’s new fuel-savvy tech that it plans to roll out to future vehicles. For the Honda Civic, it means an RS badge and a new 127kW/220Nm turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine mated exclusively with a CVT that’s also had a sprinkle of the Earth Dreams pixie dust. A cheaper 1.8L atmo option is also on the table.
