2016 Honda Civic Sedan Press Kit OverviewOct 18, 2015
The creation of this new 10thgeneration Civic represents one of the most comprehensive and ambitiousnewmodel developments ever undertaken by Honda, requiring an unprecedented commitment of R&Dresources and Honda engineering prowess. While the development of the Civic Sedan was led by aNorth American team – a first for Honda and Civic – the overall Civic series involves design andengineering teams from Honda R&D, sales and manufacturing operations around the world, especially inNorth America and Japan, but also in Europe, South America and Asia.
In seeking to realize a "dynamic rejuvenation" of Civic and create a new interpretation "in a league of itsown," as the development team defined its mission, Honda engineers set out early during platformdevelopment to benchmark the world's best Csegment vehicles—not only products in Civic's traditionalcompetitive set, but luxury compact class vehicles such as well.
Their evaluation of the world's best products involved extensive realworld testing, ultimately targetingEuropean luxury vehicles for the new Civic's ride, handling, steering and NVH (noise, vibration andharshness), and also its interior quality and refinement.
Achieving these lofty aims while meeting requirements for an affordable compact car, in terms of cost,fuel efficiency and manufacturability, stretched the limits of the global Civic team's engineering capabilityand demanded new thinking and new approaches to body construction, vehicle aerodynamics,powertrain and chassis design. The result of these efforts is a completely reimagined and reinventednew Civic, the sportiest Civic ever, and a new benchmark in the compact class in terms of spaciousness,fuel efficiency, safety features, interior quality and dynamic performance.
What's New?Virtually everything about the 2016 Civic Sedan is new – an allnew vehicle architecture, sporty andsophisticated new interior and exterior styling, a more spacious and highquality cabin, two advancednew engines, and a host of new premium features and technologies.

PowertrainPowering the 2016 Civic Sedan are two allnew engines, both designed to provide highly refined,responsive and fuelefficient performance. Civic Sedans in LX and EX trim are powered by a 2.0literDOHC, 16valve, portinjected, inline 4cylinder engine with iVTEC™ valvetrain producing a peak 158 hpat 6,500 rpm and 138 lbft. of torque at 4,200 rpm, making it the most powerful base engine ever offeredin Civic. The new 2.0liter engine is mated to a sporty continuously variable transmission (CVT) withHonda GDesign shift control, or a quickshifting 6speed manual transmission.
Civic Sedans in EXT, EXL and Touring trim are powered by an allnew turbocharged 1.5liter DOHC,directinjected and inline 4cylinder engine with variable cam timing (VTC) and electronic waste gate,turning out 174 hp at 5,500 rpm and peak torque of 162 lbft. from 1,800 to 5,500 rpm. The 1.5literturbo engine is mated to a new CVT that combines with the lowinertia turbo, VTC and electronic wastegate to optimize power delivery across the engine's full operating range.
Both engines feature a wide array of frictionreduction design and engineering features that support bothhigh performance and high fuel efficiency. These two ultraefficient engines, married to the 2016 Civic'slight, rigid and highly aerodynamic body, help the Civic garner anticipated classleading EPAestimatedfuel economy ratings of 31/41/35 mpg (city/highway/combined)1 for the 2.0liter engine with CVT and31/42/35 mpg1 for the 1.5liter turbo with CVT.
BodyThe 2016 Civic Sedan's new powertrains and sophisticated chassis design are underpinned by itsentirely new body construction, where engineers went deeper in the study of dynamic body rigidity torealize an ultrarigid platform architecture that serves as the foundation for its more sophisticated chassisdesign, its classleading collision performance, and its powerful and fuelefficient powertrains.
Global bending and torsional rigidity are increased 3.8 percent and 25.8 percent, respectively, andunibody weight is reduced by 68 pounds compared to the previousgeneration Civic. Localized bodyrigidity in key areas, especially at suspension and subframe mounting points is dramatically improved.

allnew multilink rear design that rigidly mounted to the rear subframe for a high degree of lateralstability.
Front and rear hydraulic compliance bushings, a feature typically reserved for larger or more expensevehicles, are also utilized for the first time on Civic, improving ride compliance and reducing roadvibrations without compromising sporty handling feel. The new Civic Sedan also applies bonded frontand rear stabilizer bushings for smoother and more progressive antiroll behavior. And Civic's new dualpinion electric power steering with variable gear ratio, both Civic firsts, provides for more precise steeringcontrol and steering feel—with only 2.2 turns locktolock (vs. 3.1 turns on the previous model) for greatlyimproved lowspeed maneuverability.
The new Civic Sedan's 25mm (0.98 inch) wider track and 20mm (0.78 inch) wider tire tread, comparedto previous Civic Sedan, aid flat handling and lateral grip, while its 30mm (1.18 inch) longer wheelbaseimproved ride quality on undulating or rough road surfaces. The Civic also applies Agile Handling Assistfor the first time, using the VSA4 system to apply the brake of the front inside wheel at the entry to acorner, improving cornering attitude, stability and precision.

tailortempered ultrahigh strengths Bpillar and rear frame rails (see the Body section) (/channels/civicpresskit/releases/2016hondacivicsedanpresskitbody) – to provide a high degree of occupantprotection while minimizing weight and aiding fuel efficiency.
Engineers were challenged not only to create a body that supported their goals for dynamicperformance, but also for topinclass collision performance. The adoption of a more compact front endand shorter front overhang proved to be an exceptional challenge to achieving their goals, effectivelyshortening the front frame's crash stroke (the area available to absorb and redirect frontal collisionenergy). To overcome this challenge and maintain the sporty proportions of the new Civic, engineersdeveloped a new crash stroke design for the lower front frame rails. The strategic shaping of the framerail creates a mechanical hinge effect that directs the engine downward in a frontal impact, effectivelyincreasing the front "crash stroke" by 80 mm (3.0 inches).
Advanced Airbag TechnologyThe Civic utilizes advanced front, side and side curtain airbag technology, including a driver's frontairbag with new spiral stitching for an improved deployment profile; SmartVent® technology for the driverand front passenger side airbags; and a new front passenger airbag with safety vent technology that canmitigate the possibility of injury from airbag deployment when the passenger is "out of position." Thesesystems work in conjunction with the advanced body structure and optimally tuned interior componentsto help mitigate injuries in a collision.
Utilizing these design features and safety technologies, the 2016 Civic Sedan targets the highestavailable crash protection ratings – a 5Star Overall Vehicle Score in the NHTSA's New Car AssessmentProgram (NCAP), with top ratings in all test modes; and a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the InsuranceInstitute for Highway Safety, with a score of GOOD in all test modes.
ManufacturingThe 2016 Civic Sedan for the U.S. market will be produced at Honda's plants in Greensburg, Indiana andAllison, Ontario, Canada, using domestic and globally sourced parts. Its two new engines are producedin Anna, Ohio, at the largest automobile engine plant in Honda's global production network, and its highlyprecise CVT transmissions are assembled in Russells Point, Ohio, where two onsite wind turbinesprovide for upwards of 10 percent of the plant's power needs.
The new Civic also benefits from numerous advancements in manufacturing technology and processthat enhance efficiency, quality and performance, as well as associate ergonomics.
Inner Frame Weld SystemThe 2016 Civic body is welded using Honda's new innerframe weld process, first utilized in constructionof the 2015 Fit. This new process produced a more rigid, lightweight and higher quality body.
Modular Front SubAssemblyA new modular front subassembly, a first for Honda, improves ergonomics for assemblyline associates,giving them unfettered access to critical interior and front end components before the front subassemblyis joined to the body. This process also helps to ensure a higher level of quality in the assembly process.
