The eighth-generation Civic was produced in 2006. Below is an introduction to the eighth-generation Civic: 1. The eighth-generation Civic is a compact family sedan under Honda. It was officially launched in China in 2006, featuring smooth exterior lines, strong power, and low fuel consumption, which won the favor of many consumers. 2. The eighth-generation Civic introduced two models: the standard version and the TYPE-S sport version. 3. The standard version is equipped with a 1.8L engine, paired with a 5MT+5AT transmission, while the TYPE-S sport version features a 2.0L engine with a maximum power output of 115kw, equivalent to 157 horsepower. 4. The front grille design gives it a more sporty feel compared to the North American version. The interior adopts a new design, with significant changes in the layout of the audio panel and the multifunction steering wheel, giving the overall appearance a full sporty vibe.
The production period of the eighth-generation Civic was approximately from 2005 to 2011. As a third-generation Civic owner, I clearly remember this model debuted at the 2005 North American Auto Show and went on sale in China by 2006. A friend who drove an eighth-gen for ten years told me that the early versions included the 2006 to 2008 models, with a minor facelift in 2009 that changed the taillight and bumper designs. Dongfeng Honda's factory continued production until April 2011, after which it was replaced by the ninth generation. Many eighth-gen Civics can still be seen on the road today, with their distinctive double-layer grille and triangular taillights. The combination of the 1.8L engine and 5AT transmission proved exceptionally durable.
