Is the Civic's automatic transmission a manual-automatic integrated transmission?

The automatic transmission of the new Civic is not a manual-automatic integrated transmission. Introduction to the Civic's powertrain: The 2021 Honda Civic is equipped with a 1.5T engine, paired with either a CVT continuously variable transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission. It delivers a maximum output of 177 horsepower. All models feature the 1.5T engine, available in low-power and high-power versions with maximum outputs of 95kW and 134kW, respectively, corresponding to the "180TURBO" and "240TURBO" badges. Both versions are matched with CVT transmissions. The MT models of the Civic require transmission fluid replacement every 60,000 kilometers, while the CVT models need it every 40,000 kilometers. Gravity replacement—replacement rate is about 40%, requiring the least amount of new fluid but offering the poorest replacement effect, as most of the old fluid remains. Removal and replacement of the oil pan and filter—replacement rate is about 65%, requiring slightly more new fluid than gravity replacement, with better replacement results. Using a fluid exchange machine—replacement rate exceeds 90%, requiring about twice the amount of new fluid compared to the oil pan replacement method. This method uses more fluid but achieves the most thorough replacement, providing the best protection for the transmission.
