Gen-8 Civic
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Honda Civic, a true global car, will undergo a full model change this year.

The all-new Civic was developed with four body types to meet the unique requirements of each region.

For the Japanese market, an emotional and stylish sedan which goes beyond the concept of the traditional Civic was developed.

For the U.S. market, 2-door and 4-door types were developed, while a 4-door was also developed for Asia and 3-door and 5-door types were developed exclusively for Europe.

The all-new Civic, developed under our approach of creating products to meet the needs of local customers, is a true global car with sales of more than 600,000 units annually in 160 countries in the world and with production in six regions, now to include China, where Civic production will begin next year. For the new Civic, Honda will offer an advanced powertrain lineup that includes various fuel options including gasoline, diesel, hybrid, CNG and ethanol – to meet the unique needs of each region.

With introduction of the all-new Civic this year, Honda will complete the shift to its next-generation i-series engines for almost all models. With VTEC technology at the core, Honda has established distinctive technologies to improve fuel economy, including VCM. As a result, this new series of engines has achieved approximately a 20% improvement in fuel economy.

Eighth Generation Honda Civic - 01 August 2005

Honda Motor Europe Ltd. today announced the all-new, eighth generation Civic for the European market. Wider and lower than the out-going model, the Civic retains virtually all the emotional styling characteristics of the concept car shown at the Geneva Auto Salon in March 2005. This new model will make its first public appearance at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2005 and sales are expected to commence in early 2006.

Launched to the world in 1972, the Civic has undergone many evolutionary changes to maintain its position as the most successful automobile to be built by Honda, accounting for roughly one-third of total Honda sales worldwide. The current seventh generation Civic is built in 11 countries and sold in 160 markets around the globe.

The forthcoming eighth generation Civic promises to change on a revolutionary scale and will attempt to set new standards in the highly competitive European C-segment, particularly in the upper quality/premium sector.

The concept car shown in Geneva already revealed Honda’s intention of moving the Civic into a sporty, emotional, and fun-to-drive direction. Key to achieving these qualities is the wedge-shaped forward cabin with lower vehicle height, wider width and shorter length.

The overall length is now 35 mm shorter than its predecessor and overall height, 35 mm lower. But, in order to create a more dynamic silhouette and a better handling C-segment car, Honda decided to increase the overall width by 65 mm and the front and rear tracks by 34 mm and 45 mm, respectively.

Despite being shorter and lower on the outside, the new Civic is actually more spacious inside. The interior features the “Dual Link” concept, in which important driving information, including vehicle speed, is displayed in the upper part of the instrument panel, while other information is provided in the lower part. This design allows the driver to concentrate on the road while receiving vital information, enhancing the easy-to-operate and fun-to-drive character of the car.

In terms of utility, the rear seats can be tipped up to form a second storage area in the rear passenger cabin. The rear seats also have a one-motion, dive-down feature that instantaneously create a flat loading space. The total volume of the luggage compartment is quite impressive, with 485 litres, thanks to the centre positioning of the fuel tank. The cargo floor can drop down to reveal an under-floor compartment. All this flexibility translates into a hidden versatility not expected in a sporty looking car.

There is a range of three different engines to choose from: a 1339cc 61kw/83 PS petrol unit, a brand new 1798cc 103kw/140 PS petrol unit or a 2204cc 103kw/140 PS diesel unit. All of them are combined with a 6-speed manual gearbox making the new Honda Civic the first car in the C-segment to be equipped with 6-speed gearboxes across all of its range. The petrol units can also be equipped with a 6-speed automated manual transmission.

All Civics are equipped with ABS and, for optimum performance, Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) which adjusts all wheel brake effort to achieve maximum braking performance and stability. The new Civic also features, across the range, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) designed to assist the driver in maintaining control during cornering, acceleration and sudden manoeuvres by applying brake force to the right or left hand wheels as necessary and managing the throttle and brake systems.

Passive safety has always been paramount at Honda. The new Civic has an innovative seat belt reminder system for the rear passengers and both the front seats are fitted with double pre-tensioners. The active front headrests have a decisive role in protecting the passengers against the dangerous whiplash injury.

The expected result for the Euro NCAP crash test for this Civic is 5 stars for front and side impact safety, 3 stars for pedestrian safety and 4 stars for child protection safety, making it one of the safest cars in its class, especially considering that it has the shortest front overhang in the C-segment.

Btw Mr. Observer, are you aware of that the new Civic hatchback is available exclusively for the European market, made in the U.K.
Heard that Japan and Asia will only get the 4-door saloon..

And the type-R version will be even more attractive than the Golf GTi. You might want to consider to have one imported.

Pak Conan, kalo tidak salah Civic baik Hatcback tidak terlalu sukses di Europe.
Banyak merk laris di sana, yg di sini kurang begitu familiar, seperti Renault, Peugeot, Audi dan VW.
Memang mesin Golf GTi lebih loyo, tp seperti biasanya typical mesin Audi dan VW, begitu kita ganti chip, mesin langsung jadi beringas.
Dan terus terang saja, ketahanan mesin Honda kalau digeber di jalan bebas hambatan seperti Autobahn, tidak akan sebanding dengan mesin VW dan Audi, mesin Honda akan rontok duluan
Selain itu typical VW / Audi lebih mantap handlingnya, karena mungkin lebih berat ???

Di Europe, Renault ada hatback yang bagus, Clio Sport 182 Cup, 2000 cc, kalau ini dimasukkan ke Indo bisa mengangkat pamor Renault di tanah air sebagai pencipta jet darat nomer satu di dunia.
ATPM Renault yg di Indo terlalu santai, gak memanfaatkan momentum yg ada di F1
Kalau Clio yg 3000cc V6, terlalu mahal dan kelihatannya akan dihentikan produksinya.
Clio biasa saja naiknya sudah enak dibanding Jazz

Tentu saja, Mr. TomS, Anda jangan menyamakan Clio yang hatchback dengan Jazz yang supermini. Sebuah pure hatchback memiliki handling seperti sebuah sedan.

The looks of the new Civic gives me an adrenaline rush the Golf or the 1-series simply does not.

Tapi keliatannya tradisi akan berlanjut, Civic akan sulit untuk mematahkan dominasi hatcback asli Europe seperti yg dibuat oleh Renault, Peugeot, VW, Audi, BMW, Fiat, dkk

Mengenai istilah hatcback dan mini mpv seperti jazz, jadi rancu sekarang. Terlebih ada platform Jazz yg diitambah buritan dan jadi sedan bernama New City

Di Indonesia, Clio yg masuk adalah 1.400 cc dan harganya sekitar Rp. 170 juta lebih untuk manual dan Rp. 190 juta lebih untuk matic.
Harga tersebut adalah harga CBU, karena cuma bisa jual sedikit quantitynya, coba kalau bisa jual banyak kan bisa di-CKD, harganya pasti gak beda jauh dengan Jazz

Merket Europe juga lebih antik, sepertinya mereka gak begitu mentingin tampang, lebih ke utilitas. Mobil yg menurut kita tampangnya aneh dan tidak layak diproduksi, bisa laku juga (macam Renault Kanggoo dan Peugeot Partner yg buritannya tepos habis, belum lagi si ekor kontroversial Megane)
Mereka lebih butuh inner beauty dan mesin diesel kalau bisa
Jarang ada kan (selain di Europe), mobil kecil seperti Clio mesinnya bisa dari 1200 cc sampai 3000 cc (ngirit model kali ???). Tampang boleh cupu, tapi jeroan nanti dulu

[adisantosa]

Disana kan orang2nya kebanyakan sering gonta ganti mobil setiap 1-2 tahunan. Karena pajaknya yang tinggi dan rendahnya nilai jual kalo lebih dari 3 tahun.
So mereka pasti sering beli mobil2 baru meskipun macam Renault Kanggoo dan Peugeot Partner yang rada unik, tapi bisa dibuat angkut2 barang. cth disini kayak espass, carry gitu loh..

Teman2, saya hari ini ngobrol sama sales Honda dan katanya awal Januari depan sudah akan dilaunching new Honda Civic, model HATCHBACK lagi!!!

I seriously doubt it.

[observer]

Alasannya sekarang model hatchback sedang "in".

[Sithlord]

Kalau lihat kebiasaan HPM yang suka launch model baru bulan Jan - Feb, bisa saja terjadi !

Ini Civic baru mukanya seperti Elgrand concept car, sama sama futuristik, robotic, galak, Darth Vader like. Very nice ! It makes the Altis looks very conventional.

Jika harganya OK, ini pasti jadi bintang baru HPM. And I prefer this guy's face banding Odyssey / Elysion.

One of the nicest Hondas I have seen in a while !

[conan]

Wah, mungkinkah ya?

Karena Civic hatchback bukan dibuat di Jepang tapi di Europe, dan versi stir kanan untuk Eropa (dgn pasar utama UK), harganya lebih mahal drpd setir kiri (pasar utama Germany).
Jadi kalau dijual di sini, harganya akan bersaing dengan VW Golf disini. Apakah tidak terlalu mahal, ya?

But it's a very, very BOLD move from HPM. Salute!

[observer]

Sewaktu saya cek ke sumber lain di Honda, katanya memang ada isyu akan masuk model hatchback, CBU.

[conan]

I have a thought that with the arrival of the new Civic Euro hatchback, there is a chance we will not see the JDM saloon here.

Pasar Civic sedan 'kan memang sudah sangat hancur dipukul Altis, dan sekarang sudah ada facelifted City yang lebih panjang dan mendekati Civic dalam dimensi.

Kembali ke Civic Euro hatchback, di Eropa pilihan mesinnya ada 3 : Honda's excellent 2.2L diesel (dipakai pada Accord Euro), new 1.8L iVtec dan 1.4L iDsi. Moga2 yang masuk BUKAN yg 1.4L iDsi atau nama besar Civic bisa hancur karena selalu disalip puluhan Jazz Vtec di jalan tol!
