Exterior
Stylish functionality
The Civic represents the culmination of hundreds of carefully considered design ideas and innovations. From its sporty grill to its stylish jewel tail lights, every feature of the Civic has been crafted for both elegance and efficiency.
Dynamic styling
The Civic is striking from every angle. It's distinctive one-sweep design combines aesthetic appeal and advanced engineering. The fluid curve of the front end and aerodynamic raked windscreen enhance the Civic's fuel efficiency and driver visibility. Overall the Civic is sharper and sexier with a redesigned, sporty front bumper and sleek new rear lights.
Sleek lights front and back
Encased in an appealing smoked chrome surround, Civic’s bright halogen headlights illuminate the way in all types of weather, with fog lights optional on the VTi and VTi-L models and standard on the Sport. Stylish rear and brake lights complete the tail end on a cutting edge design, ensuring that the Civic leaves a lasting impression.
Dual chrome exhausts
The rear profile of the Civic Sport is finished off with low-slung, integrated dual chrome exhaust pipes. The exhaust system itself employs a high-density catalytic converter that helps produce lower emissions.
Pull-type door handles
Perfectly contoured for unobtrusive functionality, the Civic features new pull-type European-style door handles that improve operability with an easier, more natural opening motion.
Alloy wheels
Attractive, lightweight 16" alloy wheels on the VTi-L and 17" on the Sport enhance Civic's handling whilst improving braking in demanding driving conditions.
Keyless entry
Convenient and safe, the Civic's keyless entry system and remote boot release make fumbling with your keys a thing of the past.
Interior
It's all in the detail
The Civic's thoughtfully designed, high-quality interior provides a comfortable, yet energetic driving experience. Plus, its spacious cabin offers plenty of leg, head and luggage room so you can take everyone along for the ride.
Drive to your own beat
The Civic features an MP3 and WMA compatible CD tuner system, with a 6-CD stacker standard in the VTi-L and Sport models. Plus, there's a convenient MP3 player auxiliary jack, so you can drive your Civic to any beat you choose.
Multiplex dash
Designed with comfort and safety in mind, the Civic's innovative two-tiered, multiplex dash gives you the critical information you need at the top – speed, fuel and temperature levels – with less used items sitting below. These crystal clear displays help reduce driver fatigue and keep your eyes focused on the road.
Space for everything
Inside the cabin, the new Civic is full of amazing space-saving ideas, such as a repositioned Z-shaped arm brake lever, a flat rear floor for increased passenger comfort and 60:40 split folding rear seats. Complementing this is a wide range of interior storage options including front cup holders, a glovebox, a centre console, a passenger side seat-back pocket and front and rear door pockets.
Ergonomic seating
The Civic’s exceptional build quality is unmistakeable in its front and rear seats. Featuring fully reclining front seats, driver seat height adjuster, and larger rear seats for three adult passengers, the Civic is sure to please.
Cruise control
Standard equipment on all Civic models, the cruise control feature lets you set your preferred speed, so you can concentrate on the road not the speedo.
Engineering
A pleasure to drive
The 2009 Honda Civic couples a responsive, fuel-efficient engine with a sophisticated suspension system. It will reawaken the delight of driving, whether on long distance road trips or manoeuvring through city streets.
Smooth, efficient power
Put your foot down and feel the 1.8 litre SOHC i-VTEC engine in both the VTi and VTi-L respond with an impressive 103kw of power and 174Nm of torque. Or for a little more grunt, try the 2.0 litre DOHC i-VTEC engine in the Civic Sport, delivering 114kW of power and 188Nm of torque for a more powerful drive.
Excellent manoeuvrability
The Civic impresses with remarkable agility when you're manoeuvring in tight spaces and making razor-sharp turns. Whether it’s navigating through city streets or cruising country roads, the Civic is sure to excel.
Manual or Auto? You decide.
Choose between a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic. The Civic Sport automatic also features racing-inspired, steering wheel-mounted gearshift levers to give you greater control.
Stability control
For improved handling in demanding driving conditions, every Civic features Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Traction Control System (TCS).
Go further on a single tank
Without compromising performance, the manual Civic VTi and VTi-L only uses 6.9 litres of fuel per 100km, the auto just 7.2.* The Civic Sport's larger engine uses only 8.3 (manual) and 8.4 (auto) litres per 100km*.
* The fuel consumption figures are based on ADR81/02 combined test results. You may experience different results depending on driving conditions and the condition of the vehicle.
Safety
With your safety in mind
The Civic is full of advanced safety features to protect you and your passengers. Stability control, six airbags, active front head restraints, front seatbelt pretensioners and innovative structural technology all work together to help keep you safe and secure.
Impact force reduction
Honda’s breakthrough G-Force Control (G-Con) vehicle body technology acts to absorb impact energy and insulate passengers in a protective zone.
Airbags all around
Every Civic is equipped with front and side airbags for both driver and front passenger, as well as full-length curtain airbags to wrap you and your passengers in a wall of protective cushioning. Honda's sophisticated dual-stage, dual-threshold system optimises the airbag deployment to match the speed and severity of a crash. It also helps to minimise injuries that can sometimes be caused by airbags themselves.
Stability control on all Civics
Honda's Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system monitors individual wheel speed, steering angle and lateral G-force. If it detects oversteering, understeering or traction loss, it can brake individual wheels and/or reduce engine speed to help keep you in constant control.
Security alert
The Civic VTi-L and Sport models come fitted with a security alarm so you can be confident that your car and contents are safe and sound.
Anti-lock Braking
Along with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), the Civic features Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, which distributes braking force to each wheel based on the passenger load.
