Honda "Civic" minor change! New grade "e:HEV RS" added, starting from 3,946,800 yen
The Honda "Civic," known for its refreshing performance and beautiful design, boasts great popularity. This model has established a unique position as a sports sedan, and with the minor change, dreams like "I want to experience a more direct ride" and "if only there were a sporty grade for the e:HEV" are coming true. Keep an eye on the new grade "e:HEV RS."
Even though it's a hybrid, it feels like a multi-stage transmission! The driving experience of the e:HEV RS is delightful
The biggest topic of this minor model change is the addition of the new sporty grade "e:HEV RS" to the hybrid system "e:HEV." This new grade features the newly adopted control technology "Honda S+ Shift" that was used in the Honda PRELUDE, specifically tuned for the Civic.
The "Honda S+ Shift" provides a direct driving response and shift feel as if it has a multi-stage transmission, even while being motor-driven. The engine sound is also tuned specifically for the Civic, allowing the driver to enjoy an exhilarating ride every time the accelerator is pressed. Coupled with the RS-specific suspension settings that enhance the sense of unity between the driver and the car, it offers a driving pleasure that transcends the hybrid category.
In terms of equipment, there is a wealth of dedicated features that enhance the sporty atmosphere, including exterior parts unified in gloss black, 18-inch aluminum wheels finished in matte Berlina black, a D-shaped steering wheel, metal paddle shifters, and combination seats with red stitching. The indoor air conditioning outlets and door embellishments also feature red pinstripes, creating a space that elevates your excitement every time you get in.
Comfort has also improved with the addition of rear-seat USB ports across all grades. The EX grade and e:HEV EX grade now also come with a heated steering wheel. Additionally, the "RS" grade, which combines a gasoline turbo engine with a 6-speed manual transmission, remains in the lineup, allowing for the unique pleasure of direct control that comes with manual vehicles.
