Honda Civic 2013 UAE Prices & Specs

The Honda Civic undergoes a mild makeover for 2013 after playing it safe with a conservative new model in 2012 and taking a lot of flak for it. Refreshed after just one year, the latest Civic comes with a carryover 1.8-litre engine and a 5-speed automatic. Changes for 2013 include a new front-end, redone tail lamps, new wheels, retuned suspension, reconfigured electric power-steering and a generous helping of soft-touch materials on the dash and front doors. All versions come with an "Eco Assist" feature that provides feedback to the driver to promote more efficient driving styles. Standard features on basic trims include cloth upholstery, CD/MP3 stereo with AUX port, keyless entry, body-coloured exterior trim, manual a/c, fold-flat rear seat, power windows and electric mirrors. The base LXi model specifically gets 15-inch steel wheels with hubcaps, and a 2-speaker stereo. The mid-range EXi model gets a 6-speaker stereo with USB port and steering-wheel audio controls, cruise control, Bluetooth phone, 60/40 split-folding rear seat and an LCD info display with rear-view camera, and 16-inch alloy wheels, while fog lamps and a sunroof are extra-cost options. The top VTi version gets everything as well as 17-inch alloys, an automatic single-zone a/c, HID headlights, chrome door handles and leather upholstery. Standard safety features include dual front airbags, ABS, active headrests and stability control, while only the VTi gets side and curtain airbags.
