The new version of Honda Civic, the premium sedan has been launched by Honda Car India after going through some cosmetic changes. Now the newer version is more stylish and enhanced. Japanese car manufacturing company Honda has launched its beautiful head turner sedan and has named it Accord.
Honda Civic has been introduced with two accessories packages namely Inspire and Elegance. The elegance is packed with illuminated side step garnish, rear door sunshade, and door visor. On the other hand, Inspire is packed with front under spoiler, trunk spoiler, and side under spoiler and rear under spoiler. In the front, Honda Civic looks aggressive sporty. It consists of smoky headlamps, its front grille is metallic, and the front bumper is aerodynamic and is of the body colour and integrated with turn indicators. Door handle is also body coloured. The rear portion of the car is very attractive as it has Octo-combi tail lights and dual exhaust.
The exterior of Honda Accord has been designed for the E-class proportions. The car gets a swanky look as it has long and stretched headlights with the bold lines along with its hood. The ‘Honda’ logo has been placed in the middle. The front and rear fog lamps have got 3D styled slots. It has body coloured rear view mirrors and chrome finished doors and the alloy wheels together gives the car elegance.
The font cabin of Honda Civic resembles the cockpit of a plane due to its instrument panel. The panel consists of blue lit digital speedometer, tachometer and fuel economy indicator. The dashboard has audio system and AC placed centrally. It has fabric seats in some variant and leather seats in another one. The interior has colour combination of beige and black. The interiors are hugely illuminated and the seats are too comfortable with generous amount of space inside.
The interior of Accord gives us a feeling of openness. The beige coloured leather interior brilliantly adds more style and it has generous amount of leg, head and shoulder space. The tilt and telescopic leather steering wheel is another great feature along with the rear ac vent, rear reading lamp and rear foldable seat. The noise and vibration reduction carpet and the illuminated vanity mirror together give a smart look.
The new sedan is powered with an engine of 1.8L, i-VTEC, 1799cc, 4 Cylinder, SOHC that churns 132 Ps of max power at 6300 rpm and a maximum torque of 17.5 Kgm at 4300 rpm.
