Where is the Honda Civic factory located?
3 Answers
Honda Civic factory is located at No. 283, Checheng East Road, Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone, Wuhan, Hubei Province. Relevant information is as follows: 1. In terms of interior design, it continues the style of previous models, using soft materials for wrapping, complemented by silver or metal decorative pieces and a full-color LCD instrument panel. 2. In terms of power, the domestically produced new Civic will be equipped with 1.0T/1.5T turbocharged engines for selection. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 177Ps and a peak torque of 220Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission.
The Honda Civic is actually produced in multiple locations around the world. It has assembly bases across different continents and countries, primarily to be closer to markets and reduce transportation costs. For example, in its home country Japan, the Yorii Plant in Saitama Prefecture is one of the key production sites. For the North American market, the Greensburg plant in Indiana, USA, handles supply. The Civic most familiar to Chinese consumers is likely the one produced by Dongfeng Honda at its Wuhan plant, while GAC Honda's Guangzhou factory has also produced some versions. This globalized production approach is quite smart, allowing flexible responses to changes in tariff policies and market demands. Thinking about my neighbor's domestically produced Civic, the factory label clearly showed the Wuhan plant address – the car has been running flawlessly for three years.
As someone who frequently follows automotive manufacturing, I've always found the production layout of the Civic quite fascinating. The core production base is naturally in Japan, with the Yorii Plant in Saitama Prefecture serving as the headquarters. However, the real backbone of global sales comes from overseas facilities: the Swindon Plant in the UK long supplied the European market (though now closed), the Rayong Plant in Thailand serves Southeast Asia, and the Ontario Plant in Canada was once a major production hub. Particularly noteworthy is the situation in China—the Dongfeng Honda Second Plant in Wuhan Economic Development Zone is currently the primary production base, covering an area of over 1.2 million square meters. Civics rolling off the production line there can be seen in dealerships nationwide. I remember during a visit last year, the automation rate on the production line was exceptionally high.
