2018 Honda Civic Review

With an incredible array of body styles, trim levels, and features, as well as an excellent overall driving experience, the 2018 Honda Civic redefines the compact car class.

Drivers in East Stroudsburg, Stroudsburg, Bethlehem, Easton and Jim Thorpe can discover all the 2018 Civic has to offer with our in-depth review.

2018 Civic Engine Performance

The new Honda Civic can be outfitted with a variety of engines to suit any driving taste:

• On the LX and EX trim levels: The standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine produces 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque.
• On the EX-T, EX-L, and Touring trim levels: With the turbocharged 1.5L 4-cylinder engine, the Civic delivers 174 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque.

Across all of the Honda Civic Models, the Eco Assist™ System comes standard, which improves fuel efficiency by adjusting engine performance, the transmission, and cruise control. With this kind of eco-conscious technology, the Honda Civic achieves an EPA-estimated 31 city/40 highway MPG on the base model*. However, it couldn't achieve so without the available Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Optimized to match both engines of the 2018 Civic, the CVT provides plenty of power without sacrificing fuel efficiency.

Other performance-oriented features include a standard 6-speed manual transmission, MacPherson struts, Hill Start Assist, Remote Engine Start, and a Direct Ignition System with Immobilizer.

2018 Honda Civic: Interior Comfort and Technology

Leading the class in interior space, the 2018 Honda Civic can seat five occupants comfortably:

• Headroom (front/rear): 39.3 inches/37.1 inches
• Legroom (front/rear): 42.3 inches/37.4 inches
• Shoulder room (front/rear): 57 inches/55 inches
• Hip room (front/rear): 53.7 inches/47.3 inches

With all of this space, you and your passengers will be able to stretch out and relax, even on long road trips. With 15.1 cubic feet of cargo room, too, you can pack up all your belongings, groceries, luggage, and more with ease.

To keep you entertained on those long drives and work commutes, the 2018 Civic also has plenty of advanced technology to help the time tick by. If you want to play your favorite artists, use Bluetooth™ Streaming Audio to seamlessly sync your phone to the standard 4-speaker sound system. Perform various functions, too, by integrating your compatible smartphone with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. From navigating to a selected destination and sending text messages to playing music from your library, these advanced systems can do it all, especially on the easy-to-use 7-inch touchscreen.

Other available technology features include HondaLink®, Pandora®, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, HD Radio™, and an 8-speaker sound system.

Honda Civic: Safety Features

Although a riveting performance and infotainment technology make a car ride fun, having advanced driver-assisting systems ensures safe travels as well. Luckily, the Honda Civic comes with available Honda Sensing®, a suite of driver-assistive safety technology, including:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): By sensing vehicles ahead of you, CMBS™ helps brake the vehicle during an otherwise unavoidable collision.
• Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): Using its camera to detect road markers, RDM monitors lane departure and will alert you if you're about to leave the road.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow: Behind detected vehicles, ACC will maintain a set following-interval on the highway.
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): If the Civic strays from the center of a detected lane without using a turn signal, LKAS will adjust the steering to guide you back to the center.

There are many standard safety features as well, including a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Guidelines, Vehicle Stability Assist™ with Traction Control, SmartVent® Front Side Airbags, and LED Daytime Running Lights.
