Honda’s all-new 2016 Civic is a fine auto, as we’ve stated in our brand-new reviews of the 2.0-liter and 1.5-liter turbo models.

2016 Civic LX with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual transmission will certainly cost $19,475 (consisting of an $835 destination charge).
Honda has released numerous vehicles with designs that have been impressive on the exterior and the 2017 Honda Civic is just one of them. The entry-level vehicle will pair a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with a 6-speed manual gearbox, and is rated for 27 mpg in the city, 40 mpg on the highway, and 31 mpg combined. The most fuel efficient drivetrain setup is the turbocharged 1.5-liter engine and a CVT, which the EPA rates at 31/42 mpg city/highway and 35 mpg combined. Meanwhile, all cars are available with the new Honda Sensing suite of safety equipment, including collision and lane departure mitigation braking, as well as adaptive cruise control with tractor beam following functions at low speed, a $1,000 option. The more deluxe EX starts at $21,875.

If you can afford the EX-T version, things really get good. Higher-trim models of the 2016 Honda Civic will be featuring something different, as they will be equipped with the turbocharged small displacement 1.5-liter Honda engine. That bump is offset by the EX model, which drops $150 in price. Worth noting is that the Civic is offering the Honda Sensing bundle of driver-assistance features for a grand on all CVT-equipped models except for the EX-L Navi-which thus equipped would wind up so close in price to the Touring model (which gets Honda Sensing standard) that Honda figures customers wanting it all will just go ahead and upgrade to the top-shelf model. The Civic Coupe will follow in the winter and the Civic Hatchback will arrive sometime next year.
