The new Civic will be flat out the most dynamic the most technologically advanced and the most refined and stylish Civic weve ever made said Dave Gardner senior vice president of operations Honda Canada Inc. We couldnt be prouder to be the global manufacturing lead for this epic vehicle and theyll be built by Canadians right in here in our renowned Alliston Ontario facility. 

The Civic Concept provides a tantalizing glimpse forward to the thrilling design direction for the allnew 10thgeneration Civic lineup launching in Canada this fall. Featuring a longer wheelbase and lower wider stance the new Civic emphasizes its aggressive personality and engaging experience behind the wheel. Proportionally it boasts a longer hood a shorter front overhang a more setback greenhouse and a shorter rear deck lending the Civic Coupe a more athletic and in motion appearance. 

The low and wide proportions are underscored by its more aggressive wheeltobody relationship and pronounced fender arches. Its sporty and expressive face is highlighted by bright new LED headlights flanking the Flying H Honda grille which is supported by deeply sculpted lower air intakes. 

Charismatic connected and athletic our goal was to create a design that is emotional and sporty yet with a sense of timelessness and simplicity said Guy MelvilleBrown Chief Exterior designer of the Civic concept Honda R&D Americas Inc. In this we set out to create a vehicle that goes beyond the superficial and embraces the very philosophy of what a true Civic should be a real game changer. 

The 10th generation Civic is based on a compact platform that targets benchmark levels of efficiency dynamic performance safety and production efficiency. Leveraging this new platform in conjunction with new Earth Dreams Technology™ powertrains including a new 1.5liter VTEC® Turbo engine with direct injection a shortshifting 6speed manual transmission and a new more sporty and efficient continuously variable transmission (CVT) the Civic will target classleading fuel economy ratings and funtodrive performance with nearluxury levels of cabin quietness and ride refinement. 

The new Civic will also target classleading levels of safety performance and will offer the Honda Sensing™ suite of advanced safety and driverassistive technologies including Lane Departure Warning Forward Collision Warning MultiAngle Rearview Camera Adaptive Cruise Control and Honda LaneWatch™ along with Hondas nextgeneration Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure. 

The new Civic marks the first time that development of both the sedan and coupe models is being led by a North American R&D team with design led by a team from Hondas Los Angeles design studio and development centered in the companys Raymond Ohio vehicle development centre The North American version of the Civic Sedan will be produced in Alliston Ontario and Greensburg Indiana. The Civic Coupe and Si models will also be manufactured in Alliston. It also marks a milestone and for the first time HCM serves as the global lead plant for the Civic Sedan and Coupe production. The VTEC Turbo engine will be produced in Alliston Ontario as well as Anna Ohio. The CVT will be produced in Russells Point Ohio.
