What's New for the 2019 Honda Civic?

The 2019 Honda Civic has undergone some style transformations in its latest model, which makes it flashier than it has been thanks to its top-shelf amenities. The biggest physical upgrade is to the front end, which now has a cleaner look. The new Sports trim level is a welcome upgrade, and the active-safety features are a huge bonus including the redesigned emergency brake. And, finally, a volume knob has been added to make using the infotainment system easier. Not only is the knob a big deal, but the entire infotainment system has been refreshed to keep up with changes in technology, and to make it more user-friendly and intuitive. For instance, the Bluetooth® ¹ system has been made easier to use and more buttons have been added to make it easier to select exactly what is needed. Both model upgrades have also added new colors to the options including Pearl White and Tonic Yellow Pearl.

Sedan and coupe models are available with a 1.5-liter turbo engine while a 2.0-liter inline-four engine that is naturally aspirated comes standard. Stiffer suspension systems and a different exhaust system for the hatchback also provide more options for Civic fans. All of these updates and new features have slightly increased the starting MSRP of the Civic, but the value of the upgrades far outweighs the slight increase in cost. Some upgrades have been made to the HVAC system and center console to increase driver and passenger comfort too. The HVAC system now has fan buttons to help everyone stay comfortable and the center console cup holders are bigger, so large coffee mugs will finally stay in place.
