What are the differences between Civic and Lamando?
2 Answers
Civic and Lamando mainly have the following differences: 1. Exterior: Lamando continues the design language of the Volkswagen family, with a flat front grille and a wide-body design that gives the Lamando an overall wide and flat impression; while the Civic follows Honda's family-style design, with a youthful, vibrant, and sporty appearance that appeals to many consumers. 2. Interior: The interior quality of the Civic is slightly inferior to that of the Lamando, and the plastic feel of the dashboard is a point of dissatisfaction for many, although its dashboard design still has a sporty touch.
I've driven the Civic and Lamando many times, and the driving experiences are quite different. The Civic feels like a hot hatch, with agile steering, quick acceleration, and a fun-to-drive nature, but the suspension is tuned stiff, making it bumpy on rough roads and uncomfortable for the lower back during long drives. The Lamando is entirely different—its suspension is softer, with better vibration absorption, providing stable high-speed cruising and a more relaxed experience for long-distance driving, making it especially suitable for family trips. However, its acceleration is slower, lacking the Civic's strong push-back feeling. In terms of fuel consumption, the Civic is slightly more economical in the city, while the Lamando performs slightly better on highways. For maintenance, Civic parts are cheaper, and repair shops are more abundant, whereas the Lamando has higher upkeep costs but is more durable. Overall, younger drivers might choose the Civic for excitement, while middle-aged drivers may prefer the Lamando for comfort and stability.
