Το νέο Honda Civic (US Spec) σε 160+ φωτογραφίες [w/video]

H Honda ανακοίνωσε πως οι πωλήσεις του νέου Civic ξεκινούν από σήμερα στην Αμερική με αρχική τιμή τα 18.640 δολάρια και ταυτόχρονα έδωσε και μια μεγάλη σειρά φωτογραφιών του μοντέλου που είναι διαθέσιμο με αρχικά με δύο κινητήρες. Έναν δίλιτρο, τετρακύλινδρο, ατμοσφαιρικό κινητήρα απόδοσης 158 ίππων που συνδυάζεται είτε με 6-τάχυτο, μηχανικό κιβώτιο είτε με CVT και έναν υπερτροφοδοτούμενο τετρακύλινδρο με χωρητικότητα 1.5 λίτρων απόδοσης 174 ίππων που συνδυάζεται αποκλειστικά

με ένα “μοναδικό” CVT.

Το νέο Civic διαθέτει εκφραστικά φωτιστικά σώματα με LED φώτα ημέρας –προαιρετικά είναι διαθέσιμα και full LED και επιβλητική μάσκα με την χρωμιωμένη λωρίδα να εκτείνεται σε ολόκληρο το πλάτος. Όμως το piece de resistance του νέου Civic είναι το προφίλ και το πίσω μέρος. Η Honda επέλεξε μία έντονα κεκλιμένη οροφή που θυμίζει πολύ έντονα fastback ενώ στο πίσω μέρος, βλέπουμε τα ιδιαίτερα, standard LED φωτιστικά σώματα και τον έντονο, “συναισθηματικό” σχεδιασμό.

Στην καμπίνα, είναι προφανής η πρόθεση της Honda να μετακινήσει το νέο Civic σε πιο upmarket περιοχές. Τα υλικά που έχουν χρησιμοποιηθεί είναι καλύτερης ποιότητας και η συναρμογή τους αναβαθμισμένη. Το ίδιο θα έλεγε κανείς και για τον σχεδιασμό της καμπίνας αλλά και για την τεχνολογία που είναι πλέον διαθέσιμη. Όλα τα μοντέλα εξοπλίζονται με ψηφιακό πίνακα οργάνων, αυτόματο κλιματισμό, ηλεκτρονικό χειρόφρενο, κάθισμα οδηγού με ρυθμιζόμενη στήριξη, αυτόματο κλείδωμα κ.ά. Στον τομέα της ψυχαγωγίας, υπάρχει επίσης διαθέσιμο ένα νέο σύστημα infotainment με οθόνη αφής 7 ιντσών και υποστήριξη Android Auto και Apple CarPlay. Τέλος, αξίζει να αναφερθεί ότι οι προσφερόμενοι χώροι για τους επιβάτες έχουν αυξηθεί ενώ χάρη σε νέες τεχνολογίες μόνωσης, οι διαρροές αέρα στην καμπίνα έχουν μειωθεί κατά 58%.

Το νέο Civic βασίζεται σε μια ολοκαίνουρια πλατφόρμα, η οποία σύμφωνα με την Honda, υπόσχεται να θέσει νέα standards οδικής συμπεριφοράς, ποιότητας κύλισης και ησυχίας στην καμπίνα στην compact κατηγορία. Η στρεπτική ακαμψία έχει αυξηθεί κατά 25% και παρά το γεγονός ότι το νέο Civic είναι μεγαλύτερο από τον προκάτοχο του, το αμάξωμα είναι κατά 30 κιλά ελαφρύτερο. Μιας που αναφέρθηκε το μέγεθος, να γράψω πως το νέο μοντέλο είναι 5 εκατοστά φαρδύτερο και έχει κατά 3 εκατοστά μεγαλύτερο μεταξόνιο αλλά είναι και 2.5 εκατοστά πιο χαμηλό.

Τέλος, να σημειωθεί ότι το Civic Sedan είναι το πρώτο Civic μίας οικογένειας μοντέλων που θα περιλαμβάνει όπως αναφέρει η ίδια η Honda, coupe έκδοση, Si εκδόσεις υψηλών επιδόσεων, 5-θυρο hatcback και το πρώτο Type-R μοντέλο για την Αμερικάνικη αγορά. Στην Ευρώπη το νέο Civic θα κάνει την εμφάνισή του το 2017.

2016 Honda Civic Sedan Press Kit – OverviewThe creation of this new 10th-generation Civic represents one of the most comprehensive and ambitious new-model developments ever undertaken by Honda, requiring an unprecedented commitment of R&D resources and Honda engineering prowess. While the development of the Civic Sedan was led by a North American team – a first for Honda and Civic – the overall Civic series involves design and engineering teams from Honda R&D, sales and manufacturing operations around the world, especially in North America and Japan, but also in Europe, South America and Asia.

In seeking to realize a “dynamic rejuvenation” of Civic and create a new interpretation “in a league of its own,” as the development team defined its mission, Honda engineers set out early during platform development to benchmark the world’s best C-segment vehicles—not only products in Civic’s traditional competitive set, but luxury compact class vehicles such as well.

Their evaluation of the world’s best products involved extensive real-world testing, ultimately targeting European luxury vehicles for the new Civic’s ride, handling, steering and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness), and also its interior quality and refinement.

Achieving these lofty aims while meeting requirements for an affordable compact car, in terms of cost, fuel efficiency and manufacturability, stretched the limits of the global Civic team’s engineering capability and demanded new thinking and new approaches to body construction, vehicle aerodynamics, powertrain and chassis design. The result of these efforts is a completely reimagined and reinvented new Civic, the sportiest Civic ever, and a new benchmark in the compact class in terms of spaciousness, fuel efficiency, safety features, interior quality and dynamic performance.

What’s New?Virtually everything about the 2016 Civic Sedan is new – an all-new vehicle architecture, sporty and sophisticated new interior and exterior styling, a more spacious and high-quality cabin, two advanced new engines, and a host of new premium features and technologies.

Further, with the addition of Honda Sensing™ safety and driver-assistive technologies and the first application of Honda turbo engine technology to Civic, the 2016 Civic Sedan offers buyers a wider range of options than ever before. Civic models powered by the new 2.0-liter i-VTEC™ engine are designated as the Civic LX and EX trims. Civic models powered by the new turbocharged 1.5-liter engine are designated as the EX-T, EX-L (with leather-trimmed interior) and new line-topping Civic Touring, which reaches higher into the upper end of the compact car market than ever before.

Major new technologies, features and capabilities of the 2016 Civic Sedan, depending on trim, are as follows:

Exterior DesignThe taut and tidy overall proportions of the new Civic Sedan are complimented and accentuated by its design details, including its sleek, swept-back bodylines, its sharp and aggressive face, and its bulging wheel arches. The hood features sharply defined character lines that draw the eye forward and down to the Civic’s aggressive new face, highlighted by a chrome-plated Honda “wing” that runs the full width of the front fascia and is flanked by available new LED headlights in an in-line configuration.

The new Civic’s ultra-thin A-pillars lend the cabin an open, airy feeling with excellent forward visibility, while the aggressively sloped roof line connects seamlessly with gracefully arching C-pillars that carry the curvature of the roof rearward to the outside rear corners of the long deck, where they intersect with distinctive C-shaped “light-pipe” LED taillights.

The sharply creased and curving upper-body side line swells over the rear wheel arches and curves aggressively inward to join the upper bend of the distinctive LED taillights, while the upswept lower-body side line is bisected by the bulging rear wheel arches before bending inward to meet up with the rear bumper’s upper surface. The overall effect is one of dynamism and premium quality with an unmistakable and yet thoroughly modern Civic design aesthetic.

Interior PackageHonda’s vehicle packaging expertise, along with the Civic’s longer wheelbase and wider body, results in the most spacious interior in the competitive class. With 97.8 cubic feet of interior passenger space, the 2016 Civic Sedan delivers top-of-class comfort by giving its occupants a sense of spaciousness and premium comfort beyond the compact class with ample headroom, legroom, shoulder clearance and side head clearance.

A class leading 84.3 degrees of forward visibility is aided by a new, ultra-thin A-pillar design, 18.2 mm (0.72 inch) narrower than the A-pillar in the outgoing 2015 Civic. Even the forward visibility of rear-seat occupants is taken into account, as the new Civic features newly shaped front seatbacks and a smaller head restraint.

More legroom for the driver is made possible by the reduced intrusion of the instrument panel into the driver’s knee space, while rear-seat foot room is improved by a 27 mm (1.1 inches) wider space between the front seat rails. Trunk room has also been significantly increased, by 2.6 cubic-feet to 15.1 cubic-feet, among the largest in the Civic class, with a lower lift over height, larger rear opening, and wider and taller cargo area than the outgoing model. An all-new reconfigurable center console, with up to 7.2 liters of storage space, can hold multiple full-size iPads or an oversized water bottle, with the console lid closed.

The 2016 Civic Sedan takes Civic interior quality to a new level. High quality, soft-to-the-touch materials are applied liberally—to the instrument panel, front door sash and door inserts and the larger, more thickly padded center armrest. Fit, finish and materials quality throughout the cabin have been thoroughly modernized and upgraded in keeping with the more premium compact sedan character of this all new Civic.

Interior Comfort, Convenience and ConnectivityThe new Civic is designed to be the most comfortable, convenient and connected Civic ever. In addition to its more spacious interior, the 2016 Civic sedan incorporates new, available premium comfort and convenience features – all Civic firsts – as follows:

Remote Engine startElectronic parking brakeWalk Away Door LockingDual-zone automatic climate controlAdjustable driver’s-seat thigh support with 14 degrees of tiltHeated front seat backsHeated rear seat cushionsRain-sensing wipers

Display Audio with Apple CarPlay® and Android AutoRaising intuitive operation and digital connectivity to the next level, the 2016 Civic Sedan in EX and above trims incorporates a new 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen that serves as the nerve center for control of audio, HVAC and other functions. The new Display Audio is integrated with new Apple CarPlay®3 and Android Auto2 platforms, providing seamless integration of smartphone features and functions, including app-based navigation, streaming audio, voice-controlled search capabilities, and access to a host of Apple- or Google-approved smartphone apps.

Dynamic PerformanceCivic is designed to set a new bar for dynamic performance in the mainstream compact class, surpassing current offerings and even challenging luxury-class C-segment vehicles in critical areas of dynamic performance such as steering feel, handling precision, ride quality and NVH. With respect to its mainstream, compact-class competitors, Civic is designed to deliver superior dynamic performance in virtually every way, including acceleration and braking performance, refined and linear power delivery, fuel efficiency, steering precision, body control, aerodynamics and NVH. Every element of its design and technology has been optimized to this task.

PowertrainPowering the 2016 Civic Sedan are two all-new engines, both designed to provide highly refined, responsive and fuel-efficient performance. Civic Sedans in LX and EX trim are powered by a 2.0-liter DOHC, 16-valve, port-injected, inline 4-cylinder engine with i-VTEC™ valvetrain producing a peak 158 hp at 6,500 rpm and 138 lb-ft. of torque at 4,200 rpm, making it the most powerful base engine ever offered in Civic. The new 2.0-liter engine is mated to a sporty continuously variable transmission (CVT) with Honda G-Design shift control, or a quick-shifting 6-speed manual transmission.

Civic Sedans in EX-T, EX-L and Touring trim are powered by an all-new turbocharged 1.5-liter DOHC, direct-injected and inline 4-cylinder engine with variable cam timing (VTC) and electronic waste gate, turning out 174 hp at 5,500 rpm and peak torque of 162 lb-ft. from 1,800 to 5,500 rpm. The 1.5-liter turbo engine is mated to a new CVT that combines with the low-inertia turbo, VTC and electronic waste gate to optimize power delivery across the engine’s full operating range.

Both engines feature a wide array of friction-reduction design and engineering features that support both high performance and high fuel efficiency. These two ultra-efficient engines, married to the 2016 Civic’s light, rigid and highly aerodynamic body, help the Civic garner anticipated class-leading EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 31/41/35 mpg (city/highway/combined)1 for the 2.0-liter engine with CVT and 31/42/35 mpg1 for the 1.5-liter turbo with CVT.

BodyThe 2016 Civic Sedan’s new powertrains and sophisticated chassis design are underpinned by its entirely new body construction, where engineers went deeper in the study of dynamic body rigidity to realize an ultra-rigid platform architecture that serves as the foundation for its more sophisticated chassis design, its class-leading collision performance, and its powerful and fuel-efficient powertrains.

Global bending and torsional rigidity are increased 3.8 percent and 25.8 percent, respectively, and unibody weight is reduced by 68 pounds compared to the previous-generation Civic. Localized body rigidity in key areas, especially at suspension and subframe mounting points is dramatically improved.

Key Elements of Civic Body Design:

59% application of high-strength steel, the highest in Civic history14% application of ultra-high-strength steel (780 mpa or higher), the highest in Civic historyNew 590-mpa high-strength steel floor for dynamic and collision safety performance (Civic first)20mm “short pitch” door seam welds for enhanced collision performanceNext-generation ACE body structure with new crash stroke front frame rails (Honda first) for enhanced collision performance in a more compact front frameUltra-high-strength steel B-pillars and rear frame rails with selectively-tempered ‘soft zones’ for reduced weight and enhanced collision performance

Class-Leading AerodynamicsThe new Civic’s sleeker body design combines with aerodynamic features, including nearly full underbody covering, front and rear wheel strakes, optimized rear exhaust silencers and a highly aero-efficient engine compartment, to create the most aerodynamically efficient body in the Civic class. The 2016 Civic Sedan’s Cd*A – the combination of coefficient of drag (Cd) and frontal area (A) – is improved by 12 percent over the outgoing Civic to best-in-class levels, based on Honda internal test data. The Civic aero design was optimized using a combination of advanced CFD (computation fluid dynamics), and wind tunnel testing of highly detailed 25- and 40-percent scale models and a 1:1 full-scale model.

ChassisBuilding on the foundation of its ultra-rigid and lightweight body structure, the 2016 Civic Sedan utilizes the most sophisticated chassis design in the history of Civic. Its fully independent suspension includes an all-new multi-link rear design that rigidly mounted to the rear subframe for a high degree of lateral stability.

Front and rear hydraulic compliance bushings, a feature typically reserved for larger or more expense vehicles, are also utilized for the first time on Civic, improving ride compliance and reducing road vibrations without compromising sporty handling feel. The new Civic Sedan also applies bonded front and rear stabilizer bushings for smoother and more progressive anti-roll behavior. And Civic’s new dual-pinion electric power steering with variable gear ratio, both Civic firsts, provides for more precise steering control and steering feel—with only 2.2 turns lock-to-lock (vs. 3.1 turns on the previous model) for greatly improved low-speed maneuverability.

The new Civic Sedan’s 25mm (0.98 inch) wider track and 20mm (0.78 inch) wider tire tread, compared to previous Civic Sedan, aid flat handling and lateral grip, while its 30mm (1.18 inch) longer wheelbase improved ride quality on undulating or rough road surfaces. The Civic also applies Agile Handling Assist for the first time, using the VSA4 system to apply the brake of the front inside wheel at the entry to a corner, improving cornering attitude, stability and precision.

Key Elements of Civic Chassis Design:

Dual pinion electric power steering (Civic first)Variable gear ratio steering (Civic first)Multi-link independent rear suspension (Civic first)Electronic parking brake (Civic and segment first)Agile Handling Assist (Civic First)Wider track (+1.9 inch front, +1.6 inch rear)Wider tire tread (+0.78 inch – LX)

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)Engineers for the new Civic adopted premium noise-isolating materials and design features to achieve a new level of cabin quietness in the Civic class. This includes the adoption of new methods to measure and reduce air leaks in the Civic body that, based on Honda’s internal test data, is the most tightly sealed body in the competitive class. Full body air leaks have been reduced 58 percent compared to the previous Civic.

Premium noise reduction features include:

Acoustic glass front windshieldTriple door sealing (Civic first)New hood sealsSound-absorbing heat baffles and body undercoversA, B and C pillar separators (Civic first)New rear wheel house linersFormed fiber carpeting (Civic first)

Safety and Driver AssistanceThe 2016 Civic Sedan is designed to provide a high level of collision performance in a wide variety of collision scenarios, including offset and oblique-angle frontal collisions, side and rear impacts. The Civic’s safety performance starts with its class-leading forward visibility and precise, stable and predictable steering, handling and braking performance. Standard four-channel anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) 4 with traction control and Agile Handling Assist further enhance dynamic stability and emergency maneuvering and braking performance.

Honda Sensing™Available Honda Sensing safety and driver-assistive technology can further reduce the potential for a collision and mitigate the consequences, alerting the driver and taking emergency action when a collision is determined to be imminent. Honda Sensing™ uses both millimeter wave radar and a monocular camera to sense and respond to detected road hazards and is available on all models and trims. The Civic Honda Sensing technology suite includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow for the first time in a Honda vehicle. Honda Sensing features are as follows:

Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)5Lane Departure Warning (LDW)6 integrated with RDMForward Collision Warning (FCW)7 integrated with CMBSAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow8Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS)9Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)10

All Civics also come equipped with a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera11 and Expanded View Driver’s Mirror.

Advanced Safety BodyThe 2016 Civic utilizes its advanced body structure – including its s next-generation Advanced Compatibility Body Structure (ACE), new crash stroke technology, 590mpa high-strength steel floor, and tailor-tempered ultra-high strengths B-pillar and rear frame rails (see the Body section) – to provide a high degree of occupant protection while minimizing weight and aiding fuel efficiency.

Engineers were challenged not only to create a body that supported their goals for dynamic performance, but also for top-in-class collision performance. The adoption of a more compact front end and shorter front overhang proved to be an exceptional challenge to achieving their goals, effectively shortening the front frame’s crash stroke (the area available to absorb and redirect frontal collision energy). To overcome this challenge and maintain the sporty proportions of the new Civic, engineers developed a new crash stroke design for the lower front frame rails. The strategic shaping of the frame rail creates a mechanical hinge effect that directs the engine downward in a frontal impact, effectively increasing the front “crash stroke” by 80 mm (3.0 inches).

Advanced Airbag TechnologyThe Civic utilizes advanced front, side and side curtain airbag technology, including a driver’s front airbag with new spiral stitching for an improved deployment profile; SmartVent® technology for the driver and front passenger side airbags; and a new front passenger airbag with safety vent technology that can mitigate the possibility of injury from airbag deployment when the passenger is “out of position.” These systems work in conjunction with the advanced body structure and optimally tuned interior components to help mitigate injuries in a collision.

Utilizing these design features and safety technologies, the 2016 Civic Sedan targets the highest available crash protection ratings – a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score in the NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), with top ratings in all test modes; and a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, with a score of GOOD in all test modes.

ManufacturingThe 2016 Civic Sedan for the U.S. market will be produced at Honda’s plants in Greensburg, Indiana and Allison, Ontario, Canada, using domestic and globally sourced parts. Its two new engines are produced in Anna, Ohio, at the largest automobile engine plant in Honda’s global production network, and its highly precise CVT transmissions are assembled in Russells Point, Ohio, where two on-site wind turbines provide for upwards of 10 percent of the plant’s power needs.

The new Civic also benefits from numerous advancements in manufacturing technology and process that enhance efficiency, quality and performance, as well as associate ergonomics.

Inner Frame Weld SystemThe 2016 Civic body is welded using Honda’s new inner-frame weld process, first utilized in construction of the 2015 Fit. This new process produced a more rigid, lightweight and higher quality body.

Modular Front Sub-AssemblyA new modular front sub-assembly, a first for Honda, improves ergonomics for assembly-line associates, giving them unfettered access to critical interior and front end components before the front sub-assembly is joined to the body. This process also helps to ensure a higher level of quality in the assembly process.

5-Inch Display Audio System (LX)The Civic LX has a standard 160-watt AM/FM radio audio system with four door-mounted speakers and a USB port to allow the connection of other compatible devices. The system can play Pandora®6 content from a compatible device via the USB port, or wirelessly, via Bluetooth®7 HandsFreeLink®. The audio system has a 5-inch (diagonal) display screen and conventional “hard” buttons and knobs to control the various functions. Illuminated steering wheel mounted controls are positioned within fingertip reach. This system includes four 6.7-inch diameter speakers, two in each front door and two in the rear deck.

7-Inch Display Audio Touchscreen (Civic EX, EX-T, EX-L)Civic Sedan EX and above trims feature a 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen that uses the Android operating system to offer a wide range of useful features and capabilities. The intuitive and easy-to-use touchscreen lets users swipe, tap and pinch – just like on a tablet or smartphone – to control the vehicle’s audio system, display settings and other advanced features. The 7-inch touchscreen is a special high-contrast, high definition IPS display with a high viewing angle for better legibility. The 160-watt audio system has eight speakers with four 6.7-inch full range speakers, one in each front door and two in the rear deck, plus four 1.5-inch tweeters, two near the A-pillars and two in the rear deck.

The system offers most popular audio formats, including AM/FM, HondaLink@ content, Pandora®6, Bluetooth®7 streaming audio, and compatibility with the Apple CarPlay®4 and Android Auto™5 platforms. SiriusXM®8 and HD Radio®11 are included in the EX-T trim and above.

Icons resembling smartphone apps are displayed on the high-definition, capacitive touchscreen, making the interface intuitive and easy to use. Interfaces for standard internet-sourced music and media options, such as Pandora® can be displayed and controlled on the Display Audio interface, with the ability to create personalized stations, tap to “like” songs, and view album artwork directly from the touchscreen. Display Audio also integrates touch operation of the menu and return functions for a modern and sleek look.

The system can also be controlled with illuminated steering-wheel mounted controls, including a new touchpad control that enables an alphabetic search of a range of features using a vertical swiping motion. Search items appear on the color Driver Information Interface (DII) display located in the lower portion of the instrument display, just below the digital speedometer display. The system can also be controlled via voice commands, after pressing and releasing the steering-wheel-mounted talk button.

7-Inch Display Audio Touchscreen (Touring)In Touring models, the 7-Inch Display Audio Touchscreen system includes a number of upgrades. The total system output is increased to 450 watts, the most powerful in the Civic’s segment, and the speaker count is increased from eight to ten. Premium 6.7-inch full-range speakers are positioned in the front doors and two in the rear deck plus one 3.1-inch speaker in the information panel. Two 1.5-inch tweeters are positioned near the A-pillars and two more are located on the rear deck, and a 7.9-inch subwoofer is placed in the center of the rear deck.

Driver Information Interface (DII)All Civic models with the exception of the LX feature the Driver Information Interface (DII) integrated into the operation of the 7-Inch Display Audio Touchscreen. The DII is positioned in the instrument display, just below the digital speedometer. The color TFT DII display puts a wide range of information in front of the driver where it’s easy to see. The steering wheel mounted buttons and touchpad control make it easy to search among choices on the DII, and then make the desired selection.

DII displays the following items:

Driving ComputerSmart MaintenanceAudio SystemNavigationTelephoneSMS12/EmailApple CarPlay4Android Auto™5

1-Cable ConnectionIn the Civic EX and above trims, compatible iPhones and Android (with Android Auto app.) phones loaded with the compatible HondaLink9 app can be connected to the 1.5-amp USB port with a single USB cable (provided with the phone), to display navigation information on the 7-inch Display Audio Touchscreen. This makes connection simpler and less costly than Honda’s previous system that required three cables to make the connection between the smartphone and the vehicle.

Apple CarPlay®Civic EX models and above offer standard Apple CarPlay4 compatibility. By connecting the iPhone to the car using the phone’s USB cable (supplied with the phone) and the Civic’s 1.5-amp USB port, CarPlay features can be accessed. (Note that the CarPlay system will not work using the USB port located inside the Civic’s center console.)

CarPlay takes the most popular functions and features of the user’s compatible iPhone and puts them on the Civic’s Display Audio touchscreen and DII display, positioned in the instrument cluster. You can get directions, send and receive messages, listen to audio books and music, all in a way that allows you to stay more focused on the road.

CarPlay features Siri voice control and is specially designed for typical driving scenarios. It also works with the Civic’s controls – both on the audio touchscreen and the steering-wheel mounted controls, so you don’t need to pick up your phone. A curated selection of available CarPlay Apps are designed for use in the Civic, and are specially designed to minimize driver distraction.

CarPlay includes access to Apple Maps, which can provide turn-by-turn directions, traffic conditions, and estimated travel time. CarPlay can also predict where you most likely want to go using addresses from your email, text messages, contacts, and calendars.

CarPlay is compatible with iPhones that feature the small Lighting connector, not older iPhones with the larger 30-pin connector.

Android Auto™Civic EX models and above offer standard Android Auto™5 compatibility. By connecting a compatible Android phone to the car using the phone’s USB cable (supplied with the phone) and the Civic’s 1.5 amp USB port, the Android Auto platform is enabled.

Android Auto puts some of your phone’s most useful Apps on the Civic’s audio display and DII, positioned in the instrument cluster. You can get directions, send and receive messages, listen to audio books and music, all without the need to pick up your phone. Android Auto works with the Civic’s controls – both on the audio touchscreen and the steering-wheel mounted controls – so it’s simple and intuitive to use.

Android Auto’s voice control is specially designed for typical driving scenarios. A curated selection of available Android Auto Apps are designed for use in the Civic, and are specially designed to minimize driver distraction.

Android includes access to Google Maps, which can provide turn-by-turn directions, live traffic conditions, lane guidance and more. CarPlay can also predict where you most likely want to go using addresses from your email, text messages, contacts, and calendars.

Android Auto is designed to work with Android phones running 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher.

SiriusXM® RadioA new generation 2.0/3.0 version of SiriusXM®8 Radio is a standard feature in the EX-T and above trims, and it provides more than 165 channels of digital programming with near CD-quality sound. The SiriusXM® signal is beamed from two broadcast satellites positioned in geostationary orbit above Earth. The beams from these two broadcast satellites combine to span the entire continental United States and some of Canada.

SiriusXM® Radio programming includes channels devoted to music, sports, talk, traffic, weather, children’s programming and entertainment. When the audio system plays SiriusXM® Radio, the audio system displays the current category, station, song title or artist’s name.

This latest generation of SiriusXM includes many all new features, including pause, fast forward and rewind. There is also an instant replay feature and the ability to hear all songs from the beginning on preset channels. The new Sports Flash feature lets you listen to your favorite (non-sports) programming, and if your favorite team makes a big play in a live game that is being broadcast on SiriusXM, you will receive an on-screen alert. With a touch of a soft-key you can hear up to 30 seconds of audio before and including the big play.

Pandora® CompatibilityAll Civic models are designed to provide a convenient interface for Pandora®6, a free music service that allows users to open an account online and create up to 100 personalized internet “radio stations” that are based on favorite songs or artists. Users can choose among their stations and listen via computer, and can also download a free smartphone Pandora® app, which allows users listen to the same list of personalized stations via their compatible phone. Although Pandora® is free, phone data charges apply.

An iPhone or compatible Android phone can be connected wirelessly to the Civic, using Bluetooth®7 HandsFreeLink®. To use Pandora®, the Pandora app is launched on a compatible connected smartphone and the vehicle’s audio source is set to Pandora®. The audio screen shows Pandora® information and album art, and the audio controls allow listeners to choose from among existing stations, pause, resume, skip forward, and mark a track with “Like” or “Dislike” ratings. To mitigate the potential for driver distraction, some functionality of the Pandora® app is locked out when using the Civic’s Pandora® interface.

HondaLink®The Display Audio system with next generation HondaLink9 that is standard in EX models and above allows the owner’s digital lifestyle to seamlessly integrate with the car and provides access to a world of cloud-based information. The all-new application-based platform connects customers to online content both inside and outside the car. The connection between the system and the user’s smartphone is made through the Bluetooth®6 HandsFreeLink® wireless interface. A HondaLink phone app provides convenient access for many services including location searches, local weather, messaging, Maintenance Minder alerts, service scheduling by phone, and access to the vehicle Owners Guide.

HondaLink AssistAn additional new feature on Civic EX and above is HondaLink Assist10, which can help request emergency assistance for drivers. If a compatible phone is paired through Bluetooth®7HandsFreeLink®, there is a cellular connection and an airbag deployment sensor is triggered, the system is designed to automatically attempt to notify an operator, report the car’s current location, and allow occupants to talk directly to the operator. The operator can then contact emergency services if needed.

Aha™ by HarmanHondaLink includes Aha™ that can be accessed using a compatible smartphone. Aha organizes the Civic owner’s favorite content from the web into personalized on-demand radio stations in the vehicle. Aha is a comprehensive, cloud-based platform optimized for the automotive environment that provides a simple integration point to bring in a wide range of current and future applications into the audio system head unit. This capability allows users to access their favorite podcasts, internet radio, on-demand music, restaurant recommendations, and even audio updates from Facebook and Twitter.

Aha™ content categories:

Siri Eyes FreeThe Civic EX and above trims integrate Apple’s Siri Eyes Free mode imbedding in Apple CarPlay. Compatible iPhone® users will be able to operate Siri through familiar voice commands by pressing and holding the TALK button on the steering wheel for two seconds when their iPhone is paired via Bluetooth®7. Using Eyes Free mode, Siri takes hands-free functionality even further and helps to minimize the potential for distractions by keeping the iOS device’s screen from lighting up.

Owners can direct Siri to perform a number of specific tasks while they keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. Capabilities include:

Send text messages and e-mailsRead incoming text messages and emailsSet up calendar entries, reminders, and alarmsCheck the weatherTurn-by-turn voice navigation (when the audio system is set to Bluetooth®7 Audio or iPod mode)Sports scores and stock quotes

SMS Text MessagingAll Civic models EX and above have a standard SMS12 text message function that can read incoming texts aloud over the audio system, and allow the driver to reply with any of six factory preset messages. The system works with SMS-capable cell phones that have an active data plan and the Message Access Profile (MAP), such as the Blackberry, Droid X and others. Apple iPhone models do not support this feature, but Siri Eyes Free CarPlay mode (iPhone 5 and 6 at time of launch) offers the ability to initiate, hear and respond to text messages via voice commands.

Once a compatible phone is paired with the Civic’s Bluetooth®7 HandsFreeLink® system, the text messaging function is enabled. When the phone receives a text message, an alert appears on the audio display screen. The driver can choose to have the message read aloud, can select among the preset reply choices, or can call the sender – all without touching the phone.

To help avoid the potential for driver distraction, the text of the incoming message is not displayed on screen unless the vehicle is stopped.

Available factory preset text replies:• Talk to you later, I’m driving.• OK• I’m on my way.• Yes• I’m running late.• No

Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®The Bluetooth®7 HandsFreeLink® interface is designed to offer hands-free operation for many Bluetooth®-enabled mobile telephones. Standard on all Civic models, the system wirelessly connects the driver’s cell phone to the vehicle’s audio system. This allows the driver to make or answer cell phone calls without removing hands from the steering wheel. The system is compatible with Bluetooth®-enabled cell phones that have the Hands Free Profile (HFP). A list of compatible phones can be found at handsfreelink.com or honda.com.

Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® enables audio files to be played through the vehicle’s audio system wirelessly with a feature called Bluetooth® Audio. If an audio compatible device is paired it will be added as an auxiliary source on the audio screen. This allows the Bluetooth® device’s media to be played wirelessly by the audio system. Cell phone devices that support the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) 1.3 allow the display of metadata for artist, album and track name on the audio screen. The vehicle’s audio controls for “skip forward” and “skip backward” allow for navigation from track to track.

Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® is designed for easy use. After the driver completes a simple one-time “pairing” process to link the cell phone with the vehicle, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® can communicate wirelessly and securely with the driver’s cell phone when the phone is within about 33 feet of the vehicle. Once the driver enters the vehicle, the phone can be stored in a pocket, briefcase, purse or a storage bin inside the vehicle’s cabin as the call transfers information through the wireless telephone interface. Certain compatible cell phones can also transfer the cellular phonebook into the vehicle through the Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® system. After the cellular phonebook is transferred, calls can be made by making selections from the registered phonebook on the Civic’s display screen.

Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition and Honda HD Digital TrafficAvailable on the EX-L and standard on the Touring model, the integrated Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System2 uses GPS technology to provide drivers with turn-by-turn guidance to their chosen destination. This all-new navigation system, developed in cooperation with Garmin, offers many improvements, including enhanced graphics, live search, speed limit display, customized vehicle icons, 3D buildings and terrain, and more. The system includes free map database updates for up to 5 years (initial purchase plus one yearly update each year for 4 years). The system includes the HD Digital Traffic feature, which alerts the driver to current traffic conditions and can display alternate routes around gridlock. It features expanded coverage including many surface streets within the U.S., allowing the driver to choose faster, less congested routes. HD Digital Traffic is subscription-free.

The navigation system can be controlled by voice or through the 7-inch electrostatic touch-screen audio display utilizing its tap, pinch and swipe functionality. The voice-activation system can respond to more casual command phrases that require less user familiarization, in addition to the previous capability of being able to understand spoken city and street names. For example, a voice request for “Radio 98.3 FM” can now be spoken in approximately a dozen different ways ranging from “change the radio station to 98.3” to “98.3 FM.” This logic applies to audio functionality of the audio/information screen. The navigation system can also be controlled by voice with conventional navigation commands like, “Find nearest Chinese restaurant” or “find nearest ATM.”

The audio system is automatically muted when the “Talk” button is pressed. The voice-recognition technology allows the driver to simply speak city and street names aloud, and the system responds by displaying the matches available in the database. Points of interest on the map – such as restaurants or grocery stores – can be displayed with brand logo icons or you can have the system provide turn-by-turn navigation, all by voice command. The massive point-of-interest (POI) database includes telephone numbers that can be dialed by using the Bluetooth®7 HandsFreeLink® system when the driver’s cellular telephone is connected to the system.

The Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System2 uses GPS in combination with detailed information from the vehicle’s mapping system to pinpoint the vehicle’s location and to provide a host of useful mapping and route guidance features. The system’s antenna receives positioning information from a network of 24 global positioning satellites. If the antenna is obstructed by a tunnel, a parking garage or a tall building, an internal gyroscopic system and a speed sensor track the location of the vehicle so that the map information remains current and reliable. The vehicle clock is independently controlled by GPS data, so when time zones are crossed while driving, the clock will automatically set itself to the current time.

USB Ports and Power OutletsIn LX trims, a 12-volt power outlet is positioned at the base of the center stack on the right of the lower storage tray, with a 1.0-amp USB port positioned on the left. EX and above trims retain the 12-volt power outlet, while the USB port on the left is upgraded to 1.5 amps, and a 1.0-amp USB port is added inside the console.

2016 Honda Civic Sedan Press Kit – BodyOverviewThe new Civic Sedan features the most rigid, tightly sealed body and aerodynamic body design in Civic history, with the greatest use of high-strength steel for any Civic model ever made, offering significant advancements to overall noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), ride and handling, fuel efficiency and collision performance.

Longer, lower and wider, the new Civic body is also more spacious, with 5.8 additional cubic feet of passenger and cargo space. Despite its larger size, the new Civic Sedan’s unibody is 68 pounds lighter than before with a 25 percent increase in torsional rigidity, while its lower height, wider stance and shortened front overhang serve as the basis for the new Civic’s sportier, more premium look and feel.

Advanced unibody construction techniques, including the use of Honda’s next-generation ACE™ body structure and new crash stroke front frame, enable superior front, side and rear crash-worthiness. Comprehensive body sealing measures, the use of acoustic windshield glass combine with new chassis technologies, such as hydraulic suspension and engine mounts, to make the 2016 Civic Sedan the quietest and most refined Civic yet.
