2012 Honda Civic Car : Review of Specs

4/5 - (1 vote)

The new 2012 Honda Civic ranks 2 out of 33 affordable small cars. The ranking is based on usnews analysis of 83 published reviews and test drives of the Honda Civic. Coming to dealers this spring as  a 2012 model, Concept cars and spy photos couldn’t prepare caranddriver for the stunning euphemism of the ninth-generation Honda Civic. The company sold over 260,000 Civics in 2010, and the new models are guaranteed shopper favorites, despite the sedate looks.

The new 2012 Honda Civic hybrid will come equipped with a 1.5 litre i-VTEC engine and for the initial time will utilize lithium-ion batteries. The new hybrid is expected to return at least 45 mpg highway, while the HF variant should exceed the 40 mpg plus mark that keeps getting boasted amongst the Civic’s contention like the Hyundai Elantra and Cruze ECO.

It was also declared that the Civic Si will drop the old 2.0 litre screamer and now will use the more traceable 2.4 liter 200 hp/170-lb. feet of torque 4-cylinder from the Acura TSX.
