Official images of the tenth-generation Civic Coupe were seen recently, and now Honda has revealed the car at the LA Motorshow, as promised.
The coupé, slated for a March 2016 launch in the US, looks relatively toned down when compared to the aggressively designed concept that was showcased earlier this year at the New York auto show.
The three-door Civic boasts of a sportier chassis, class-leading safety levels and a more space-efficient interior than before with improved NVH levels thanks to the acoustic glass windshield that the coupe makes use of.
Standard equipment on the coupé includes auto on/off headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED tail-lights, automatic climate control and Electric Parking Brake, while LED headlights, remote engine start, heated front seats, rain-sensing wipers, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen interface for the audio system.
Powering the Civic Coupe will be a choice of two engines – a 155bhp 2.0-litre DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine, which powers the base models, and a more powerful 171bhp, turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engine, the first turbocharged engine on the coupé which will power higher trim levels. The 2.0-litre engine can be had with the option of a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT, while the turbocharged engine comes paired to a CVT automatic transmission only. An even more powerful Type-R coupé is expected to follow with a traditional six-speed manual transmission.
