Design
In comparison to its previous generation, the Honda Civics’ 11th generation sports a significantly more subdued appearance. Some of its geometric body characteristics are still visible on its body. The Honda Civic appears to be more mature and graceful than its predecessor at first glance. Honda chose to upgrade the overall design while keeping the lines more conservative. When compared to the previous generation, the Honda Civic appears to be larger on the eye test.
The front of the 11 Gen Civic RS Turbocharged is calmer than the preceding generation, with more basic ornamentation. The solid-wings grille has been lowered, while the radiators grille at the bottom has been increased in size. The hue of the body has been used to replace the previous gold accent on the snout that housed the Honda logo. The headlamp has also been flattened for a more attractive design.
Changes to the spoke wheel design can be seen from the side. The glass narrowed upwards at the back end, similar to the Honda Accord. The entire black wheels and mirrors housing show that efforts were made to keep this new Civics’ sporty vibe.
Features of Safety
Pace Sensing Door Locks, Number of co Rear Camera, and Keyless System are among the standard safety features included in the package. The RS model is the only one with Side Curtains Airbags, Honda Lane Watch Cameras, and Walk Out doors, Auto Door Lock. One of the most notable features of the 11th-generation Civic is the new Honda Sense driver-assist system.
It has a single monocular camera with a broad field of vision and better object identification that recognizes automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrian, and road markings. The Civic, like other Honda vehicles, is fitted with G-Con, or G-Force Control, for better collision safety and top-of-the-line crash-safety design.
Features of Convenience
The Honda Civic comes standard with rear air conditioning vents on all models, while leather is standard on turbocharged models. In addition, all Honda Civic models come standard with an 8-way strength driver seat.
