Honda Civic 2012 Concept Released
The Honda Civic Si Concept coupe and the Civic Concept sedan made their world debuts at the North American International Auto Show on January 10, 2011. The Concept vehicles offered an intriguing preview of the styling direction of the new, ninth-generation Civic.
This spring, the all-new Civic model range will arrive with unprecedented diversity, including conventional sedan and coupe models, sporty "Si" performance versions, as well as hybrid and natural-gas variants. The new Civic hybrid will feature a lithium ion battery cell, the first ever for a Honda hybrid. In another first for Honda, the Eco-Assist™[1] system will be available in most upcoming Civic models. Additionally, Honda is expanding retail sales of the natural gas-powered Civic GX model.
2012 Honda Civic Honda Rumors
As is usually the case when Honda redesigns one of their popular cars, minivans,
pickup truck, or SUVs, Honda has not provided its dealers with any insight into
what innovations will be introduced in the complete redesign of the
2012 Honda Civic.
Bernardi Parts, owned and operated by Bernardi Honda in Natick, MA, has collected
a summary of predicted innovations that 3rd parties have been published on the internet
along with links to the original articles.
iGuida.com
- Commendation: The 2012 Honda Civic is the best car for you if you want the
redesigned version of America’s best -- and best-selling -- compact car. It’s all
new in style and specification for the first time since model-year 2006. The 2012
Honda Civic inaugurates the ninth-generation of the automobile that proves small-car
shoppers recognize precision engineering and forward-thinking design -- and are
willing shell out a few extra bucks to get it.
- Competition. Mazda 3: This compact rivals Civic for driving fun but
not quite for refinement or broad appeal. Next redesign will be for 2015 or so.
Toyota Corolla: This resolutely conservative sedan is Civic’s perennial archrival
for sales in the compact-car class but it no match for driving enjoyment.
- Styling There’s an outside chance Honda would expand the line to include
a small crossover-type wagon, but not before model-year 2013 or so.
Coupe Styling: There is a good chance the 2012 Honda Civic coupe will continue
with more aggressive sheetmetal than the sedan, a look befitting its younger buyer
demographics. - Hybrid Styling: The 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid will be Honda’s
principal Toyota Prius-fighter. It’s a better match in size and price than the pure-hybrid
Honda Insight. Honda hasn’t previously styled the Civic Hybrid to differentiate
it drastically from conventional-powertrain Civics, but it could give the 2012 Civic
Hybrid more visual distinction to better battle the space-pod Prius.
- Mechanical: There’s also a chance Honda will see sales potential in topping
the 2012 Civic lineup with a 220-plus-horsepower high-performance edition similar
to the Type R model offered in Europe and Japan. It could also make the 2012 Honda
Civic Si the first to offer an automatic transmission. Honda could decide to offer
the Civic Hybrid with a traditional manual transmission, too.
- Features:
Honda could slip in a trim level between the DX and LX that would including air
conditioning but stop short of full LX equipment. Civic’s available navigation system
might migrate for 2012 to lower-line Civics. Or Honda could begin allowing buyers
who don’t want the nav system to independently acquire satellite radio and Bluetooth
cell phone connectivity. It could also extend availability of a USB audio interface
for iPods and other MP3 devices to the entire Civic lineup rather than just the
most-expensive models.
- Pricing: Entry-level 2012 Honda Civic DX models
should again start in the $16,000-$16,500 range. (Price estimates in this report
include the manufacturer’s mandatory destination fee; Honda’s fee is about $710.
Add about $800 if you want automatic transmission.) Volume LX versions of the 2012
Honda Civic probably will again be priced from around $18,500, EX models from around
$25,000, EX-L models from around $22,500. Expect 2012 Honda Civic Si models to begin
in the $24,000 neighborhood, with the 2012 Civic Hybrid starting around $25,000.
- MPG: Look for 2012 Honda Civic DX, LX, EX, and EX-L models to beat today’s
26/34 mpg (city/highway) ratings and for Si versions to improve on their 21/29 ratings.
Today’s Honda Civic Hybrid is rated 40/45 mpg (city/highway). The 2012 Civic Hybrid
should beat those numbers by borrowing IMA advances pioneered by the latest Honda
Insight and CR-Z hybrids. Primarily, the next-generation Civic Hybrid should become
capable of running for greater distances on electricity alone and also could make
use of lithium-ion batteries, which are lighter and more powerful than today’s nickel-metal-hydride
batteries.
- Availability:Expect the 2012 Honda Civic in showrooms by early summer 2011

- Civic Hybrid Body While the camouflage is pretty heavy, we can see peeks
at a new grille and headlights. The front end looks more upright overall as well.
The doors also have some fresh character lines.
- Civic Hybrid Engine The current Civic hybrid has a 1.3L i-VTEC 4-cylinder,
mated to electric motors. We've heard that the Civic may move to the 1.5L-based
hybrid powertrain setup also found in the CR-Z. This new Civic Hybrid may also be
the first car in the lineup to receive the rumored, next-generation lithium ion
batteries Honda has been working on.
