Popularity
Honda always has been and is still the leader in designing and innovation vehicles in the Pakistan Automobile industry. They have always introduced different designs and shapes in history. If we specifically talk about the Honda civic then it is easy to say that the civic first got popular when it was used as a heist vehicle in the movie series “The Fast and The Furious”. In the first movie of the series in 2001 the 94 models’ civics were used as heist vehicles and they were modified and rebuilt. All of those vehicles were modified according to the requirement of the scenes. The team sourced 7 civics to use in the film for different scenes. After finishing the movie, they were not simply disposed of but they were rebuilt for the 2nd movie of the series “2 Fast 2 Furious”.

Specifications
Powerhouse
This new sedan is available in two engine options. In standard LX and Sport Trim variants, the powerhouse is a 2.0-L naturally aspired in-line 4-cylinder petrol engine that will produce 187Nm of torque and has a power of 158Hp at 6,500rpm. The second option is available in EX and Touring trims which is a 1.5L turbocharged in-line 4-cylinder petrol engine that makes 180Hp and will produce 240Nm of torque. All power will be transferred to the front wheel with the help of a CVT automatic transmission.
Driving Modes
A driver can select the driving modes according to his mood. One is sports mode while the other one is the eco mode. The driver can choose a suitable mood from the center-fitted console. IN sports mode the dive ratios will be changed and mapping will give the sportier feel and meter lightning will be changed to red. While in eco mode throttle and transmission sensitivity will be reduced and air conditioning output will also be altered to help for better fuel efficiency.
Suspension
Just as its predecessors the new Honda Civic has McPherson struts in the front wheels and has new low-friction ball joints and it has a front damper mount bearing to increase the feeling of self-centering. Along with that alignment of the spring and damper has improved to minimize the friction.
It has a multi-link coil spring suspension in the rear wheels. Rear wheels have a 0.5-inches wider track to increase stability and improve the bushing axis to minimize rigidness. Both rear lower arms are equipped with new bushing to reduce vibrations and noise in the cockpit and to improve stability while turning the vehicle at high speed. The electronic power steering is re-calibrated to improve straight-line stability.
Structure
New Front brake calipers and improved wheel bearings have reduced the moving friction which will automatically improve the fuel economy and reduce engine stress.
A New Aluminum front subframe with improved rib structure has improved the rigidity. Along with that a new lightweight muffler and exhaust system will help to reduce the engine noise.
All suspension and steering modifications are brought to ease the driver and to reduce as much driving harshness as possible. Reduced suspension friction and better bushing will help to reduce road harshness and bumps.
Exterior Design
The improved new design has many new features in it. First of all, the lower side of the front pillars is moved 2-inches backward which gives the most aggressive and bigger hood. They are also visually connected with the front wheel hub which shows it is more stabilized. A lower beltline and door-mounted side mirrors improve visibility and it didn’t disturb the exterior body moldings. A sharp shoulder molding line that starts from the front fender and moves towards the tail lights shows the flow of the design. The lower molding line starts from the bottom of the front door and ends in the rear fender while moving through the back doors.
The help of a bigger rear track and aerodynamically designed Trunk edge gives it more stability and along with these the wider taillights give a stronger rear shoulder and bulkier look.
Many LEDs are used in the exterior of the vehicle. It includes wider headlights, daytime running lights, Tail Lights, Parking lights, and fog lamps.

Front Pillars are pulled backward, Dashboard is flat, the bonnet is lower and windshield wipers are hidden which helps to have clearer visibility. Side mirrors are also moved away from pillars to improve visibility and with this, a driver can easily see the crossing pedestrians and other vehicles. The instrument panel is also designed specially to reduce reflections on the windshield and to reduce distractions. An eye-catching metal honeycomb design is stretched from door to door on the dashboard to make it more attractive and satisfying.
Very high-quality material is used to design the interior to make it easier to use, especially the switch gears and controls are designed very carefully. Materials were chosen very carefully especially a special design is used to build a center console to avoid smudging and fingerprints to keep it clearer all the time.
