Honda "Civic" Partial Improvement! The adoption of a new exterior paint enhances gloss and increases durability by more than 1.5 times

All four models of the globally popular Honda "CIVIC" have been partially improved. With the new exterior paint, it seems to become a car that is more beautiful and can be loved for a longer time!

Honda Civic Partial Improvements

The popular car representing Honda, "CIVIC." It has won the North American Car of the Year multiple times and has sold a total of 27 million units in over 170 countries worldwide. Its high quality has earned significant praise and support from around the world.

It seems that the hybrid models of the Honda Civic, "e:HEV LX" and "e:HEV EX" grades, as well as the gasoline models "LX" and "EX" grades, have had some partial improvements to their exterior paint. Let's take a closer look at what changes have been made.

Increased Gloss of the Body

A new paint that has been previously adopted in models like the "Civic RS" and the SUV "ZR-V" is now being used. The clear material of the paint has been changed from the traditional acrylic melamine to a new, enhanced material, resulting in a finish on the body surface that is more vibrant and deeper than before. This increases the sense of luxury and gives a stylish and sophisticated impression.

Durability increased by 1.5 times

The new paint delivers more than 1.5 times the durability compared to conventional ones. It has high resistance to ultraviolet (UV) rays, making it less prone to yellowing, chalking, and loss of luster even when exposed to sunlight for extended periods. It also prevents the occurrence of cloudiness and spots caused by acid rain and moisture during car washes. Previously, it was generally believed that the durability of the luster would decline after about 3 to 5 years, but with this improvement, it seems that a new car-like luster can now be sustained for about 5 to 7 years.
In response to the global price surge in raw materials and logistics costs, the suggested retail price has also been revised. However, since a beautiful appearance can be maintained over a long period, maintenance costs are likely to be reduced. We can't take our eyes off the Honda Civic, which continues to be a "car that can be kept beautiful for a long time and cherished."
