Civic VTi
The Civic challenges conventional car thinking and totally redefines the small car market. With cutting edge design and meticulous attention to detail, nothing else feels as finished.
The Civic's distinctive design features a chrome front grille and cut-off tail. The flowing lines of the body convey a contemporary sportiness, while retaining Honda's legendary levels of style and practicality.
The headlamp assemblies feature a clear one-piece outer lens that wrap around the Civic's front corners with the turn signals housed inside. The dual halogen bulbs cast a beam far and wide, offering outstanding illumination.
The Civic's dual circular rear lamps feature a reflective inner-cube design during illumination. The stylish red brake light lenses are surrounded by clear outer lenses for turn signals and reversing lamps.
We abandoned traditional wipers in favour of a more innovative design. Each wiper uses a flat blade which provides better aerodynamics and covers 17% more of the screen than conventional wipers.
The rear profile is finished off with low-slung, integrated dual chrome exhaust pipes. The exhaust system itself employs a high-density catalytic converter that helps produce lower emissions.
A digital speedo is housed in an upper level binnacle, allowing you to check your speed while keeping your eyes on the road. The tacho and warning lights are placed on the lower level closer to the steering wheel.
All Civic models include air conditioning as standard.
The 4-speaker CD player and AM/FM tuner features a speed sensitive volume control.
It's easy to find the perfect driving position in the Civic. The steering column is adjustable for reach as well as rake, so all drivers will feel equally as comfortable behind the wheel.
Keep your eyes on the road, rather than the speedo, with Civic's intelligent cruise control system. The buttons for all cruise control operations are located on the steering wheel for quick and easy operation.
The generous centre storage console includes a comfortable, padded armrest that slides forward 8 centimeters for extra comfort. When extended, it does not restrict access to the gear shifter or cupholders.
The 1.8 litre i-VTEC 4 cylinder engine in the Civic VTi and VTi-L models delivers 103 kW of power and 174 Nm of torque. It's power that you'd expect from a 2.0 litre, while having the fuel economy of a 1.5 litre.
The Civic features a drive-by-wire throttle system. This replaces the conventional throttle cable with an all-electronic system, enabling better communication with the transmission for a smoother drive.
All Civic models have a choice between a slick-shifting 5-speed manual or the convenience of a 5-speed automatic.
We have refined the traditional strut suspension to link the MacPherson front to the reactive double wishbone rear. This results in ultra-intuitive control, outstanding maneuverability and a compliant ride.
The combined fuel consumption for Civic VTi and VTi-L models is a miserly 6.9 (manual) and 7.2 (auto) litres per 100km*.
Civic's anti-lock braking system (ABS) stops you going into a skid under hard braking, whilst the advanced Electronic Brakeforce Distribution system (EBD) spreads the optimum braking force between front and rear.
All Civic models include front airbags for the driver and front passenger.
All five seating positions are fitted with 3-point seatbelts. Front seat passengers also receive the added benefit of seatbelt pretensioners and anti-whiplash active headrests for even greater protection.
Keyless entry and an immobilser are standard on all Civic models.
In the event of an accident, Hondas ingenious technology called G-force control (G-CON) immediately moderates the force of the impact, cocooning you and your passengers in a potentially life-saving survival zone.
