Featuring the widest array of engine choices available in its class, the 2012
Civic is designed to even better meet the diverse needs of the compact-vehicle
buyer when it launches this spring. The entire redesigned ninth-generation Civic
lineup will become more fuel efficient with two models - the all-new Civic HF
and the Civic Hybrid - each delivering fuel economy estimates of more than 40
mpg on the highway.
Along with improved fuel economy, the new Civic
lineup also delivers more performance, particularly with the Civic Si. The Civic
Si sedan and coupe models will be equipped with a larger, more powerful
2.4-liter engine as well as a new 6-speed manual transmission. The new engine is
anticipated to deliver 200 horsepower with 170 ft-lb of torque. Even with the
larger engine and a 22 percent increase in torque, Civic Si is targeted to
achieve an EPA-estimated highway fuel economy1 of 31 mpg; an increase of 2 mpg
when compared to the current model.
The 2012 Civic lineup includes a
sedan and a coupe with conventional gasoline models, a new "HF" high fuel
economy version, two sporty "Si" performance versions, along with one hybrid and
a natural gas alternative-fuel variant.
Additional information on the new
2012 Civic will be announced closer to the on-sale date.
