This approach is based on Honda's "Man-Maximum, Machine-Minimum" (M/M) development principle, which is based on the idea that technology and design should serve people alone. The Civic inspires confidence through tangible touch points between driver and vehicle, precise steering, direct driving characteristics, and a powerful and efficient powertrain that can handle all demands. The Civic is equipped with the new generation e:HEV hybrid system as standard. Honda is thus achieving its self-imposed goal of electrifying all European volume models by the end of 2022. The hybrid system comprises a lithium-ion battery, two compact electric motors and a 2.0-liter gasoline direct injection engine. The latter has exceptionally high thermal efficiency and enables remarkable all-round performance with powerful torque. Tailored to the new Civic, the e:HEV powertrain offers even smoother power delivery for linear acceleration compared to previous versions of the system, and impresses with high fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions. With the new Civic, Honda is appealing to all those customers who are looking for a dynamic and driveable option. The e:HEV powertrain, optimized steering and improved suspension elevate performance, dynamic response and feedback to a new level - factors that have always been part of the Civic's appeal. The new infotainment system offers greater convenience, user-friendliness and safety, and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard. A fully digital 10.2-inch instrument panel is used for the first time in the model series, providing the driver with the most important information with customizable displays (standard in the Advance trim level). The new Civic features the expanded lineup of advanced Honda SENSING safety features and assistance systems. New intelligent driver aids and active safety technologies, more airbags and new structural components for better impact protection ensure optimal safety for drivers and passengers.
