2 Answers
The 10th-generation Civic is the 2016 model. Below is expanded information on Honda's vehicle characteristics: Most durable engine: It has firmly established its position, making it the undisputed top performer, earning excellent reputation in both sedan and SUV segments. Highest power output engine: The Civic's red-top engine still holds the record for maximum power output in its displacement class, with many larger-displacement engines only just surpassing it. Hence, Honda also carries the nickname 'King of Naturally Aspirated Engines'. Chassis: In terms of chassis design, Honda's energy absorption structure is relatively well-designed, including humanized features such as pedestrian protection.
I think the 10th-generation Civic is the model Honda launched from 2016 to 2021, representing a major upgrade. As a long-time Civic fan, I witnessed its generational change: the 9th-gen was criticized for being somewhat conservative, but the 10th-gen made a huge comeback with a lower, sportier body design that feels like a coupe. The wheelbase was extended, providing more spacious interiors, making it comfortable for family rides. Crucially, it adopted the new 'Global Platform' chassis, which reduced weight while enhancing rigidity, significantly improving driving stability. Under the hood, it introduced a 1.5L turbocharged engine for the first time, boosting horsepower to around 170, delivering quick acceleration while retaining VTEC technology for strong fuel efficiency—many owners say this generation is truly worth it. The lineup mainly includes the Sedan, Coupe, and Hatchback variants, with the Hatchback offering great practicality and ample cargo space, ideal for moving or trips. Overall, the 10th-gen Civic also upgraded its safety features with more sensors and assist systems, helping me avoid several minor accidents. It’s arguably the most popular generation in the Civic series, with explosive global sales proving Honda got the direction right.
