The 2016 Honda Civic Has Power to Spare

The new Civic gives you a choice of a 2.0L DOHC 1-VTEC engine that uses four cylinders to crank out 158 hp, or a more zesty turbocharged 1.5L direct-injection engine that hits 174 hp and hums like a muscle car. The single-scroll turbocharger pumps up to 16.5 psi of power and 162 pound-feet of torque, and it is the first turbo engine Honda has ever put in a car. It goes from zero to 60 in a searing 6.8 seconds, and it is definitely worth checking out, especially if you have a soft spot in your heart for the Honda Civic. The 2.0L non-turbo model uses a Continuously Variable Transmission to boost fuel economy to a jaw-dropping 31 mpg city/ 41 mpg highway*.

Look Inside the Restyled Civic

The 2016 Honda Civic has gone chic, with available heated form-fitted seats and new cabin layout that allows everyone to stretch out completely. The lap of luxury has never been so tailor-made, and your passengers will appreciate the dual-zone climate control system with separate temperature settings for the driver and front passenger. You will marvel at the massive console below the Tech Center. Super Big Gulp? It fits. A full-size tablet? Just slide it right in. The Tech Center is a futuristic control center that puts everything at the driver's fingertips. New for 2016, and exclusive to the Honda brand are Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ which allow you to access your smartphone features on the Honda Civic's Display Audio touch-screen.

Safety Features of the 2016 Honda Civic

Occupant protection is the Civic's primary concern, and the 2016 models have 30 years of Honda safety research and development in their design. It starts with the exclusive Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE™) Body Structure that protects everyone inside by directing crash energy away from the driver and passenger. In the old days, people spoke of a safety cage enclosing the driver. Today, Honda's ACE™ construction has expanded the safety cage to include all the occupants. It also gives you dual-stage smart airbags and headrests that yield in a collision. All told, the 2016 Honda Civic is one of the safest compact cars on the road today.
