The refreshed 2014 Honda Civic range went on sale today in the U.S. following its debut at the SEMA and Los Angeles shows last month.
The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) is $18,190 (€13,420) for the Civic LX Coupe and $18,390 (€13,567) for the Civic LX Sedan, excluding a $790 (€583) destination charge.
As you probably know, Honda made a series of updates to its Civic lineup for the 2014 model year, including revised exterior styling for the Civic Coupe and Civic Si Coupe, interior upgrades for all Civic models, a new available CVT, increased engine performance on all models except Natural Gas and Hybrid, as well as several new available features.
The most important of these are the 7-inch capacitive touch-screen Display Audio, LaneWatch blind spot monitor and Smart Entry with Push Button start. The 2014 Civic also brings the HondaLink Next Generation connected-car technology, an application-based platform that allows a seamless integration between a user’s smartphone and the car, providing access to online and cloud-based content and information.
For the 2014 model year, the Coupe and the Sedan also feature an all-new Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that provides quicker and smoother acceleration and improves fuel efficiency.
The Honda Civic Coupe is available in LX and EX trims with a 5-speed manual transmission or the new CVT and EX-L and EX-L Navi versions with CVT. The Civic Sedan comes in LX 5-speed manual or CVT and EX, EX-L and EX-L Navi with CVT. A Civic Sedan HF with CVT is also available.
