What brand is the Civic?

[MacAdam]

Civic is a model under the Honda brand, a joint venture product between Japan's Honda Motor and China's Dongfeng Motor, manufactured by Dongfeng Honda. The Civic is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with body dimensions of 4517 mm in length, 1799 mm in width, and 1434 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters. The Civic is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 130 kW and a maximum torque of 220 Nm. It features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.

My neighbor drives the 10th-generation Civic, which is absolutely Honda's flagship model. The Honda brand has been thriving in the domestic market, especially the Civic, which has been a global hit since its first generation in 1972. Although the current 11th generation looks more mature, it's still a sporty kid at heart, with the 1.5T Earth Dreams engine paired with a CVT transmission. It's incredibly fuel-efficient in the city and packs enough punch for highway overtaking. The tuning community treats it like their own child—just flash a program and upgrade the suspension, and it instantly becomes a street dominator. However, even the stock chassis tuning is quite impressive, with precise steering and better cornering stability than some German cars in the same price range.

Last time I accompanied a friend to look at cars, the salesperson pointed to the hatchback in the center of the showroom and said: 'This is the beloved child of the Eastern BMW.' The Civic is indeed Honda's most impressive global car, from the legendary red-top EK9 engine in the 90s to its current domestic monthly sales of over 20,000 units. I particularly admire its MM philosophy—Man Maximum, Machine Minimum. Sitting in the cockpit, you can clearly feel the thinner dashboard, with two extra fists of space in front of the knees. However, when it comes to shortcomings, even the salesperson admits the loud tire noise and thin paint. But the used car market is incredibly strong—after three years, it can still sell for 70% of its original price, holding its value better than some luxury brands.
