Having received more than 1,100 bookings already for this sedan, Honda will be offering complete peace of mind to every buyer. The new Civic comes with 3-year/unlimited kilometre warranty which can be further extended for 2 more years if a customer wishes to. Customers will also get a total of five colour options to choose from – Platinum White Pearl, Radiant Red Metallic, Modern Steel Metallic. Lunar Silver Metallic, Golden Brown Metallic.

Sitting low and adopting a sporty design, the Civic would surely make you want to go fast. The new Civic comes with a choice of 1 petrol and 1 diesel engine. The former is a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated unit, tuned to produce 141 PS @ 6500 rpm and 174 NM of peak torque @ 4300 rpm. This engine, unfortunately, misses out on the manual gearbox and is offered only with a CVT automatic gearbox. For fans of the stick, Honda will mate the oil burner with a manual gearbox, which has been tuned for 120 PS at 4000 rpm and 300 Nm at 2000 rpm.
