See How the 2020 Civic Carries on the Legacy of the Nameplate

The Honda Civic has a long history in the automotive world. Today, the 2020 Civic still carries the torch lit back in the day for a quality ride with added improvements along the way.

Civic History

The Honda Civic was first introduced in 1972 and first sold in 1973 in the United States. It made an immediate impression due to its many differences not seen in small domestic cars.

The Civic came packaged as a sedan and a three-door hatchback both with a casual-looking exterior, ample room for four, front-wheel drive, a suspension system that was fully independent. It was lightweight and to get the point across it was fun to drive, Honda used the tagline “it’ll get you where you’re going.”

The Civic had a zippy 52-horsepower, which increased to 53 horsepower using compound vortex controlled combustion and eventually 55 horsepower. The car was also upgraded to a 5-speed manual transmission.

For 2020, the Civic is still available as a sedan or hatchback both with several trims. The Civic has a variety of interior features that weren’t part of the past such as a 5-inch color LCD screen, Bluetooth streaming audio, and 160-watt audio system fitted with four speakers.

Engine-wise, the Civic is equipped with either a 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter 4 cylinder engine, a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and a 6-speed manual transmission. Horsepower for the two engines has increased significantly and ranges between 158 to 180.

While many upgrades to the body, technology, power, and performance have taken place through the decades, the one thing that hasn’t changed is the quality craftsmanship that still holds true.
