2 Answers
The transmission models for the 10th-generation Civic are 6MT and CYI. A transmission, also referred to as a gearbox, is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixed or stepped changes in the gear ratio between the output and input shafts. The 10th-generation Civic is a compact car produced by Honda, with body dimensions of 4517mm in length, 1799mm in width, 1434mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters. It is equipped with a 1.5T 177-horsepower L4 engine, delivering a maximum power of 130 kW and a maximum torque of 226 N·m, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
The transmission models used in the 10th-generation Civic. I remember the manual version uses a 6-speed manual transmission, which Honda calls the 6MT series. It shifts very directly when driving, giving that mechanical feel of older cars. As for the automatic, most are equipped with Honda's in-house CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), specifically the LL-CVT model, designed for smoothness and fuel efficiency. Having driven a Civic for five years myself, I found this CVT to be very quiet in stop-and-go city traffic, though it occasionally produces a humming noise on the highway—not a major issue, and it improves after an oil change. Honda's transmissions are quite reliable; as long as you maintain them on schedule and avoid aggressive throttle inputs, they can easily last over 100,000 kilometers. The Civic's transmission is paired with a 1.5T engine, delivering quick acceleration response, making it great for daily family use and weekend trips. In the long run, the automatic is more hassle-free, but the manual offers more driving fun, ideal for enthusiasts.
