The differences between the Civic JinDong version and RanDong version are in the tire specifications: the tire specification for the Civic JinDong version is 215/55R16, while the Civic RanDong version uses 215/50R17 tires. The Civic JinDong version is a compact sedan under Dongfeng Honda, equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 177 hp and a peak torque of 220 Nm. The Civic JinDong version measures 4658mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1416mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, and is paired with a CVT transmission. The vehicle has a top speed of 200 km/h, features front-engine rear-wheel drive, and comes with brake assist, electronic stability control, ABS anti-lock braking system, tire pressure monitoring, and a rearview camera.
I own the Sport version, and after driving it for over a year, I genuinely think it looks much cooler than the Dynamic version. The blackout kit is the biggest highlight—the front grille, door handles, and side mirrors are all smoked black, the wheels come in 18 inches with a dark gold finish, and the exhaust has been changed to a center-exit single pipe. Parking it on the street turns heads like crazy. The exhaust note is indeed thrilling when driving, though it can get a bit noisy during daily commutes. If you're into modding, the Sport version is like having the factory customize a sporty exterior for you, saving you the hassle of DIY mods and worrying about failing the annual inspection. Although it costs 8,000 RMB more, these OEM parts would cost even more if modified separately. The rearview camera is especially beginner-friendly, and opening the sunroof for ventilation on rainy days feels great. If your budget allows, I highly recommend going straight for the Sport version.
