The all-new 2016 Honda Civic has been named the AutoGuide.com 2016 Car of the Year. Ever since it entered U.S market in mid-November this year, the Civic sedan particularly impressed the publication with its upscale style and new available 1.5-litre turbo engine.
“The new Civic is easily the best all-around package I’ve driven, not just this year, but in a very long time. It’s premium, yet sporty, and I just love that new turbocharged engine. A car that’s this good, with Honda’s reputation for quality, reliability and durability, just doesn’t come along every day,” said AutoGuide Group Editorial Director Colum Wood.
Truly all-new, the 2016 Civic features a new vehicle architecture; sporty and sophisticated new interior and exterior styling; a more spacious and high-quality cabin; two advanced new engines; and a host of new available premium features and technologies, including the first application of both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in a compact car sold anywhere in the world.
With the addition of Honda Sensing safety and driver-assist technologies and the first application of Honda turbo engine technology, the 2016 Civic offers buyers a wider range of options than ever before.
“The Civic has long been known as a smart choice for compact car buyers,” said Jeff Conrad, Honda Division senior vice president and general manager. “Now, with a healthy dose of style and sporty capability, it’s never been so much fun to choose wisely.”
