Does the Civic have cruise control?

[MacChristian]

The Civic does not have a cruise control system. Here is more information about cruise control: 1. The cruise control system is also known as a speed control device, speed control system, or autonomous driving system. 2. Cruise control is used to maintain a constant speed for the vehicle. Once the car is set to cruise mode, the engine's fuel supply is controlled by the computer. The computer continuously adjusts the fuel supply based on road conditions and the vehicle's driving resistance to maintain the set speed without the need for throttle operation, thereby reducing driver fatigue. It also minimizes unnecessary speed changes, which can help save fuel.

Speaking of whether the Civic has cruise control, as someone who's driven this car for years, I can confidently tell you that most Civic models do indeed have it, but it depends on the specific configuration. For example, in the 2023 new Civic, the base LX trim might not include this feature, but the EX and Touring versions definitely come standard with adaptive cruise control, which can automatically adjust speed and following distance on highways—far smarter than traditional cruise control. During my last long-distance trip, it really helped reduce fatigue by automatically adjusting the throttle after setting the speed, making driving effortless. However, for earlier models or base trims, you might need to manually check the owner's manual or visit a dealership for installation. Overall, modern high-trim Civics come equipped with this feature, but it's best to test drive and confirm before buying—don't just trust the ads to avoid ending up with a disappointing version.

Last month, I just switched to a Civic EX model, and it drives really smooth. The cruise control is indeed there, but you need to know how to use it. Just press the button on the steering wheel when starting, and the screen will display the speed settings, allowing you to set it at 80 or 100 km/h, which makes long-distance highway driving much more relaxing. Honda has integrated the ACC quite well, with sensitive detection of the car ahead, and it remains steady even in traffic jams. Don’t believe some online rumors claiming the base Civic comes fully equipped with cruise control—that’s false. The lower-trim LX might require an additional option. From my experience, always check the configuration sheet carefully when choosing a car. Don’t just go for the cheapest option; the cruise control in higher trims is worth the extra cost.

Regarding the cruise control feature in the Civic, simply put, it's available in certain models. Cruise control is essentially a device that locks the speed so you don't need to press the accelerator. Modern Civics, like the 11th generation, come with it built-in for mid-to-high-end EX models and above, some even featuring adaptive versions that can follow the car ahead, reducing the risk of traffic congestion. If you're buying a new car, just check the manual or ask the dealer to confirm; for the used car market, you might need to test drive to ensure the older model isn't missing this feature. Honestly, Honda has always been thoughtful in car manufacturing, and this feature makes driving easier, especially on highways where it saves effort. However, I recommend that beginners not rely on it too much and take more breaks during long drives.
