2016 Honda Civic Sedan Press Kit OverviewOct 18, 2015

The creation of this new 10thgeneration Civic represents one of the most comprehensive and ambitiousnewmodel developments ever undertaken by Honda, requiring an unprecedented commitment of R&Dresources and Honda engineering prowess. While the development of the Civic Sedan was led by aNorth American team – a first for Honda and Civic – the overall Civic series involves design andengineering teams from Honda R&D, sales and manufacturing operations around the world, especially inNorth America and Japan, but also in Europe, South America and Asia.

In seeking to realize a "dynamic rejuvenation" of Civic and create a new interpretation "in a league of itsown," as the development team defined its mission, Honda engineers set out early during platformdevelopment to benchmark the world's best Csegment vehicles—not only products in Civic's traditionalcompetitive set, but luxury compact class vehicles such as well.

Their evaluation of the world's best products involved extensive realworld testing, ultimately targetingEuropean luxury vehicles for the new Civic's ride, handling, steering and NVH (noise, vibration andharshness), and also its interior quality and refinement.

Achieving these lofty aims while meeting requirements for an affordable compact car, in terms of cost,fuel efficiency and manufacturability, stretched the limits of the global Civic team's engineering capabilityand demanded new thinking and new approaches to body construction, vehicle aerodynamics,powertrain and chassis design. The result of these efforts is a completely reimagined and reinventednew Civic, the sportiest Civic ever, and a new benchmark in the compact class in terms of spaciousness,fuel efficiency, safety features, interior quality and dynamic performance.

What's New?Virtually everything about the 2016 Civic Sedan is new – an allnew vehicle architecture, sporty andsophisticated new interior and exterior styling, a more spacious and highquality cabin, two advancednew engines, and a host of new premium features and technologies.



Further, with the addition of Honda Sensing™ safety and driverassistive technologies and the firstapplication of Honda turbo engine technology to Civic, the 2016 Civic Sedan offers buyers a wider rangeof options than ever before. Civic models powered by the new 2.0liter iVTEC™ engine are designatedas the Civic LX and EX trims. Civic models powered by the new turbocharged 1.5liter engine aredesignated as the EXT, EXL (with leathertrimmed interior) and new linetopping Civic Touring, whichreaches higher into the upper end of the compact car market than ever before.

Exterior DesignThe taut and tidy overall proportions of the new Civic Sedan are complimented and accentuated by itsdesign details, including its sleek, sweptback bodylines, its sharp and aggressive face, and its bulgingwheel arches. The hood features sharply defined character lines that draw the eye forward and down tothe Civic's aggressive new face, highlighted by a chromeplated Honda "wing" that runs the full width ofthe front fascia and is flanked by available new LED headlights in an inline configuration.

The new Civic's ultrathin Apillars lend the cabin an open, airy feeling with excellent forward visibility,while the aggressively sloped roof line connects seamlessly with gracefully arching Cpillars that carrythe curvature of the roof rearward to the outside rear corners of the long deck, where they intersect withdistinctive Cshaped "lightpipe" LED taillights.

The sharply creased and curving upperbody side line swells over the rear wheel arches and curvesaggressively inward to join the upper bend of the distinctive LED taillights, while the upswept lowerbodyside line is bisected by the bulging rear wheel arches before bending inward to meet up with the rearbumper's upper surface. The overall effect is one of dynamism and premium quality with anunmistakable and yet thoroughly modern Civic design aesthetic.

Interior PackageHonda's vehicle packaging expertise, along with the Civic's longer wheelbase and wider body, results inthe most spacious interior in the competitive class. With 97.8 cubic feet of interior passenger space, the2016 Civic Sedan delivers topofclass comfort by giving its occupants a sense of spaciousness andpremium comfort beyond the compact class with ample headroom, legroom, shoulder clearance andside head clearance.

A class leading 84.3 degrees of forward visibility is aided by a new, ultrathin Apillar design, 18.2 mm(0.72 inch) narrower than the Apillar in the outgoing 2015 Civic. Even the forward visibility of rearseatoccupants is taken into account, as the new Civic features newly shaped front seatbacks and a smallerhead restraint.

More legroom for the driver is made possible by the reduced intrusion of the instrument panel into thedriver's knee space, while rearseat foot room is improved by a 27 mm (1.1 inches) wider space betweenthe front seat rails. Trunk room has also been significantly increased, by 2.6 cubicfeet to 15.1 cubicfeet, among the largest in the Civic class, with a lower lift over height, larger rear opening, and wider andtaller cargo area than the outgoing model. An allnew reconfigurable center console, with up to 7.2 litersof storage space, can hold multiple fullsize iPads or an oversized water bottle, with the console lidclosed.

PowertrainPowering the 2016 Civic Sedan are two allnew engines, both designed to provide highly refined,responsive and fuelefficient performance. Civic Sedans in LX and EX trim are powered by a 2.0literDOHC, 16valve, portinjected, inline 4cylinder engine with iVTEC™ valvetrain producing a peak 158 hpat 6,500 rpm and 138 lbft. of torque at 4,200 rpm, making it the most powerful base engine ever offeredin Civic. The new 2.0liter engine is mated to a sporty continuously variable transmission (CVT) withHonda GDesign shift control, or a quickshifting 6speed manual transmission.

Civic Sedans in EXT, EXL and Touring trim are powered by an allnew turbocharged 1.5liter DOHC,directinjected and inline 4cylinder engine with variable cam timing (VTC) and electronic waste gate,turning out 174 hp at 5,500 rpm and peak torque of 162 lbft. from 1,800 to 5,500 rpm. The 1.5literturbo engine is mated to a new CVT that combines with the lowinertia turbo, VTC and electronic wastegate to optimize power delivery across the engine's full operating range.

Both engines feature a wide array of frictionreduction design and engineering features that support bothhigh performance and high fuel efficiency. These two ultraefficient engines, married to the 2016 Civic'slight, rigid and highly aerodynamic body, help the Civic garner anticipated classleading EPAestimatedfuel economy ratings of 31/41/35 mpg (city/highway/combined)1 for the 2.0liter engine with CVT and31/42/35 mpg1 for the 1.5liter turbo with CVT.

BodyThe 2016 Civic Sedan's new powertrains and sophisticated chassis design are underpinned by itsentirely new body construction, where engineers went deeper in the study of dynamic body rigidity torealize an ultrarigid platform architecture that serves as the foundation for its more sophisticated chassisdesign, its classleading collision performance, and its powerful and fuelefficient powertrains.

Global bending and torsional rigidity are increased 3.8 percent and 25.8 percent, respectively, andunibody weight is reduced by 68 pounds compared to the previousgeneration Civic. Localized bodyrigidity in key areas, especially at suspension and subframe mounting points is dramatically improved.

Key Elements of Civic Body Design:

59% application of highstrength steel, the highest in Civic history14% application of ultrahighstrength steel (780 mpa or higher), the highest in Civic historyNew 590mpa highstrength steel floor for dynamic and collision safety performance (Civic first)20mm "short pitch" door seam welds for enhanced collision performanceNextgeneration ACE body structure with new crash stroke front frame rails (Honda first) forenhanced collision performance in a more compact front frame

ClassLeading AerodynamicsThe new Civic's sleeker body design combines with aerodynamic features, including nearly fullunderbody covering, front and rear wheel strakes, optimized rear exhaust silencers and a highly aeroefficient engine compartment, to create the most aerodynamically efficient body in the Civic class. The2016 Civic Sedan's Cd*A – the combination of coefficient of drag (Cd) and frontal area (A) – is improvedby 12 percent over the outgoing Civic to bestinclass levels, based on Honda internal test data. TheCivic aero design was optimized using a combination of advanced CFD (computation fluid dynamics),and wind tunnel testing of highly detailed 25 and 40percent scale models and a 1:1 fullscale model.

ChassisBuilding on the foundation of its ultrarigid and lightweight body structure, the 2016 Civic Sedan utilizesthe most sophisticated chassis design in the history of Civic. Its fully independent suspension includes an




allnew multilink rear design that rigidly mounted to the rear subframe for a high degree of lateralstability.

Front and rear hydraulic compliance bushings, a feature typically reserved for larger or more expensevehicles, are also utilized for the first time on Civic, improving ride compliance and reducing roadvibrations without compromising sporty handling feel. The new Civic Sedan also applies bonded frontand rear stabilizer bushings for smoother and more progressive antiroll behavior. And Civic's new dualpinion electric power steering with variable gear ratio, both Civic firsts, provides for more precise steeringcontrol and steering feel—with only 2.2 turns locktolock (vs. 3.1 turns on the previous model) for greatlyimproved lowspeed maneuverability.

The new Civic Sedan's 25mm (0.98 inch) wider track and 20mm (0.78 inch) wider tire tread, comparedto previous Civic Sedan, aid flat handling and lateral grip, while its 30mm (1.18 inch) longer wheelbaseimproved ride quality on undulating or rough road surfaces. The Civic also applies Agile Handling Assistfor the first time, using the VSA4 system to apply the brake of the front inside wheel at the entry to acorner, improving cornering attitude, stability and precision.

Key Elements of Civic Chassis Design:

Dual pinion electric power steering (Civic first)Variable gear ratio steering (Civic first)Multilink independent rear suspension (Civic first)Electronic parking brake (Civic and segment first)Agile Handling Assist (Civic First)Wider track (+1.9 inch front, +1.6 inch rear)Wider tire tread (+0.78 inch – LX)

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)Engineers for the new Civic adopted premium noiseisolating materials and design features to achieve anew level of cabin quietness in the Civic class. This includes the adoption of new methods to measureand reduce air leaks in the Civic body that, based on Honda's internal test data, is the most tightly sealedbody in the competitive class. Full body air leaks have been reduced 58 percent compared to theprevious Civic.

Premium noise reduction features include:

Acoustic glass front windshieldTriple door sealing (Civic first)New hood seals



Soundabsorbing heat baffles and body undercoversA, B and C pillar separators (Civic first)New rear wheel house linersFormed fiber carpeting (Civic first)

Safety and Driver AssistanceThe 2016 Civic Sedan is designed to provide a high level of collision performance in a wide variety ofcollision scenarios, including offset and obliqueangle frontal collisions, side and rear impacts. The Civic'ssafety performance starts with its classleading forward visibility and precise, stable and predictablesteering, handling and braking performance. Standard fourchannel antilock brakes (ABS) withElectronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) 4 with traction control and AgileHandling Assist further enhance dynamic stability and emergency maneuvering and brakingperformance.

Honda Sensing™Available Honda Sensing safety and driverassistive technology can further reduce the potential for acollision and mitigate the consequences, alerting the driver and taking emergency action when a collisionis determined to be imminent. Honda Sensing™ uses both millimeter wave radar and a monocularcamera to sense and respond to detected road hazards and is available on all models and trims. TheCivic Honda Sensing technology suite includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow for thefirst time in a Honda vehicle. Honda Sensing features are as follows:

Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)Lane Departure Warning (LDW) integrated with RDMForward Collision Warning (FCW) integrated with CMBSAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed FollowLane Keeping Assist (LKAS)Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)

All Civics also come equipped with a MultiAngle Rearview Camera and Expanded View Driver's Mirror.

Advanced Safety BodyThe 2016 Civic utilizes its advanced body structure – including its s nextgeneration AdvancedCompatibility Body Structure (ACE), new crash stroke technology, 590mpa highstrength steel floor, and

tailortempered ultrahigh strengths Bpillar and rear frame rails (see the Body section) (/channels/civicpresskit/releases/2016hondacivicsedanpresskitbody) – to provide a high degree of occupantprotection while minimizing weight and aiding fuel efficiency.

Engineers were challenged not only to create a body that supported their goals for dynamicperformance, but also for topinclass collision performance. The adoption of a more compact front endand shorter front overhang proved to be an exceptional challenge to achieving their goals, effectivelyshortening the front frame's crash stroke (the area available to absorb and redirect frontal collisionenergy). To overcome this challenge and maintain the sporty proportions of the new Civic, engineersdeveloped a new crash stroke design for the lower front frame rails. The strategic shaping of the framerail creates a mechanical hinge effect that directs the engine downward in a frontal impact, effectivelyincreasing the front "crash stroke" by 80 mm (3.0 inches).

Advanced Airbag TechnologyThe Civic utilizes advanced front, side and side curtain airbag technology, including a driver's frontairbag with new spiral stitching for an improved deployment profile; SmartVent® technology for the driverand front passenger side airbags; and a new front passenger airbag with safety vent technology that canmitigate the possibility of injury from airbag deployment when the passenger is "out of position." Thesesystems work in conjunction with the advanced body structure and optimally tuned interior componentsto help mitigate injuries in a collision.

Utilizing these design features and safety technologies, the 2016 Civic Sedan targets the highestavailable crash protection ratings – a 5Star Overall Vehicle Score in the NHTSA's New Car AssessmentProgram (NCAP), with top ratings in all test modes; and a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the InsuranceInstitute for Highway Safety, with a score of GOOD in all test modes.

ManufacturingThe 2016 Civic Sedan for the U.S. market will be produced at Honda's plants in Greensburg, Indiana andAllison, Ontario, Canada, using domestic and globally sourced parts. Its two new engines are producedin Anna, Ohio, at the largest automobile engine plant in Honda's global production network, and its highlyprecise CVT transmissions are assembled in Russells Point, Ohio, where two onsite wind turbinesprovide for upwards of 10 percent of the plant's power needs.

The new Civic also benefits from numerous advancements in manufacturing technology and processthat enhance efficiency, quality and performance, as well as associate ergonomics.

Inner Frame Weld SystemThe 2016 Civic body is welded using Honda's new innerframe weld process, first utilized in constructionof the 2015 Fit. This new process produced a more rigid, lightweight and higher quality body.

Modular Front SubAssemblyA new modular front subassembly, a first for Honda, improves ergonomics for assemblyline associates,giving them unfettered access to critical interior and front end components before the front subassemblyis joined to the body. This process also helps to ensure a higher level of quality in the assembly process.
