What is the Civic Sport Package?
2 Answers
The Civic sport appearance package includes: 17-inch blackened alloy wheels, center-mounted exhaust, red instrument panel, metal pedals, and black exterior trim. Since the official launch of the tenth-generation Civic in 2016, its sharp sporty styling and powerful acceleration performance quickly won the favor of a large number of young people, earning it the nickname "Ferrari Civic". More details about the Civic are as follows: 1. Overall, the Civic still adopts the family-style design language, with the grille decorated with black panels to further highlight its sporty character. It is also paired with large multi-spoke alloy wheels, giving it a more fashionable and dynamic look. 2. The continuous waistline on the side of the body not only elongates the visual effect of the car but also adds a stylish touch. The fastback design is the biggest highlight of the car. Additionally, the previous hidden exhaust has been replaced with a single center-mounted chrome exhaust, and the car is equipped with a large number of RS sport package elements, making the overall exterior design full of sporty appeal. 3. In terms of configuration, the new Civic comes standard with features such as an electronic parking brake, tire pressure monitoring, ESP, hill start assist, engine start-stop, variable steering ratio, 4-way adjustable steering wheel, and a multifunction steering wheel. Depending on the model, it may also include features like rear parking sensors/camera, cruise control, sunroof, LED headlights, automatic air conditioning, and paddle shifters. 4. In terms of powertrain, it is equipped with a 1.0T three-cylinder engine and a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, paired with either a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission. The 1.0T model is only available with a CVT. Compared to competitors in the same segment, the 1.5T with CVT powertrain offers advantages for both daily commuting and spirited driving, and it has significant tuning potential.
As a die-hard fan of the Honda Civic, I have a lot to say about the sports kit. It's essentially an upgrade component provided by the manufacturer or the aftermarket, installed on the Civic to enhance handling and appearance. Specific parts include a front splitter to reduce air resistance at high speeds, a rear spoiler to increase downforce for more stable cornering, and side skirts to optimize the body lines, making it look sleeker and sportier. Swapping to larger, lightweight alloy wheels paired with a short suspension tune makes the car respond faster, especially on winding roads. I've tried the factory Si version kit on my own car—installation is straightforward but pricier, while aftermarket options like Maxton Design's kits offer better value and more choices. Just be mindful of installation quality to avoid air leaks or rattles. Regular cleaning is a must to keep it looking sharp. Not only does it make the car look cooler, but it also enhances the overall driving experience. Highly recommended for car enthusiasts—it truly ignites your passion for driving.
