Overivew

Built for Canadians, by Canadians, Civic offers the most diverse line-up in the industry to best meet the needs and preferences of individual Canadians.  Completely redesigned for 2012, the all-new Civic has evolved with the changing needs of Civic customers by adding the green, safe and fun features they asked for.


The Civic family consists of sedans and coupes powered by conventional gasoline, high-performance and hybrid engine choices.  The Civic Sedan and Coupe models are designed to provide an optimal balance of comfort, value and performance. The Civic Si Coupe and Sedan models prioritize handling and performance with a sport-tuned suspension and a 2.4-litre i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine.  And the Civic Hybrid uses the latest version of Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) parallel hybrid system to increase efficiency using an electric motor placed inline between the engine and transmission.

Being the best-selling passenger car in Canada for 14 consecutive years, Canada is truly a Civic nation.
