Does the Civic have an exhaust sound?
2 Answers
The Civic does not have an exhaust sound. The so-called exhaust sound is achieved by removing the muffler from the exhaust system, allowing the engine to expel gases directly into the environment, which results in loud noise. The Civic is a compact car under the Honda brand. Taking the 2021 Civic Yue Control as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4517 mm, width 1799 mm, height 1434 mm, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. The 2021 Civic Yue Control is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 130 kW at 5500 rpm. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
I once drove a standard Honda Civic model, such as the one with a 1.5T turbocharged engine. During daily driving, its engine sound is very mild, and you can hardly hear any noticeable exhaust note. Whether commuting in the city or cruising on the highway, there's only a low hum when gently pressing the throttle, but overall it's quiet and comfortable, primarily considering fuel efficiency and environmental standards. However, this doesn't mean the Civic is completely silent. If you try the sportier version like the Civic Type R, its high-performance exhaust system emits a powerful roar during acceleration, delivering a pure sporty sensation to the driver. The regular version leans more toward practical design, suitable for drivers who prefer a low-key experience, while aftermarket modifications can include exhaust systems to enhance the exhaust note.
