Only in the spring of 2011 Honda Civic The ninth generation went on sale, and now in 2012 the Japanese demonstrated on the Motor Show in Los Angeles an updated version of the sedan for the American market ...

Yes, through such a slight period of time to make restyling a completely new generation, of course, is a record indicator, and not everyone will decide on this. But, where to go, because the desire of customers is the law, and japanese company It has a solid reputation that does not exactly want to lose. In general, such a rapid update occurred due to insufficient quality, and not quite a bona fide assembly. Well, it is worth knowing the new sedan in more detail.

Honda Civic In the body of the sedan always associated with a perky character and dynamic, rather youth appearance. The car of the ninth generation was such, therefore, after the refreshment, he did not lose its qualities. Restyled Sedan Honda Civic 2013-2014 model year Received a lot of changes that went to him, they are noticeable, but they won't call them too significant. Other became both bumpers - the front found another shape and got a chrome insert, the rear began to look a little more freight. The grill of the radiator was transformed most: the shape of the herd is completely different. Optics: Optics: Front became more modern forms with the practically surviving architecture, the rear changed more - unlike the dorestayline option, here it shared into two parts, one of which occupies the previous place, and the other is located on the trunk lid.

The silhouette of Honda Civic in 2013 remained all the same, only contributed to his admission wheel disks With a more beautiful and stylish design. The updates made sent to the sedan only for the benefit: he won a more attractive appearance, although before that the Japanese was not bad enough.

The inner world of the Japanese sedan was also not "offended". Although, at first glance, it is even hard to notice the differences. What did it become other in the interior design? Well, for a start, this shape of the air ducts was slightly modified and revealed, block climatic Installation It was improved by the introduction of a small screen, but in general, the overall stylistics of the salon has kept, it was eliminated by the ergonomic flaws.
The interior design of the Honda Civic 2013-2014 model year looks stylish and modern, "two-story" dashboard Looks unusual: Tachometer is located on the usual place for all vehicles, but a digital speedometer, a fuel indicator and a small, color screen on-board computer raised over him. The abundance of chrome details (and this, for example, Americans love) perfectly combined with an affordable color scheme, and attractive attractiveness.
The updated civik got the materials of the finish of higher quality, plastic became better and more pleasant, and also an opportunity to use skin.

Honda Civic Equipment has always been like, but after the update it has become even better: for example, an rear view camera appeared in the basic configuration, as well as a USB input and an iPod connector. And in quality additional equipment For an additional fee, you can install the tracking system for the running strip, as well as the system that follows the ahead of transport.

If we talk about the technical specifications, the updated Civic sedan of the ninth generation has a variety of ruler power aggregatesin which there is not only a diesel engine, and that's it. To begin with, there are two petrol aggregate, the power of which is 142 and 201 horsepower, respectively. The first is the basic for the sedan of the Civic. Both engines are quite dynamic and economical. The next motor is a 110-strong unit that works and worries only on natural gas. Compared to gasoline brethren, this one has the dynamics of worse, but it is enough. Well, the last representative in this "different" list is a hybrid unit that combines 110-strong DVS in a tandem with an electric motor, the return of which 23 horsepower. With such a "heart", a sedan needs only 5.35 liters of fuel a hundred kilometers of the path in a mixed cycle. Yes, and though, there is not enough diesel engine, and then there would be a complete set!

But in Russia only 1.8-liter gasoline power unit with a capacity of 142 hp is officially available. And as a transussion, familiar: 6-speed "mechanics" or a 5-speed "automatic".

As we have already noted, such a quick update of the Honda Civic IX sedan occurred due to discontent with consumers of the presented quality, which is rare for cars of this Japanese manufacturer. Well, in general, so good as a whole, the Honda Civic 9 sedan has become even better and more modern, and now exactly should please anyone everyone who chooses it.

Prices and equipment. In Russia, restyling (2014 model year), Honda Sedan Civic 9th generation is offered in 3-grades: Elegance, Lifestyle and Executive.

First of all, the buyer pays attention to the "clothes" of cars and only after an external inspection is interested in internal content and technical filling. Do not move away from tradition and we. Honda Civic 5D NEW looks at us tricky with a sacred "almost triangular" form. The new designer element applied in the front of the Honda Civic hatchback is a black plastic insert, which is located between the headlights (SEAT Bocanegra). Bumper - aerodynamic form with bright lower air ducts and fog guns. 9th generation of Honda Civic 5D boasts so fashionable now the front ribbons of LEDs (day running lights), located behind the air intakes of the bumper. The wipers returned to the usual placement and the algorithm of work (on the 8th generation they were swinging). In the Honda profile, Civic Hatchback 2012-2013 demonstrates an original shape with a short hood, strongly littered front racks, splashes of waves in the front and rear wheel arches.

Plastic edging looks original and stylish wheel nicheswhich can accommodate wheels with discs from 195/65 R15 to 225/45 R17, installation of R18 discs is optionally. Thanks to the honday-free Honda Civic 5D, the honda Civic 5D, which is characteristic of the expressed merchantness of the body of Honda Civic 5D, want to rank with a sports coupe.
The rear part of Honda Civic 5D 9th generation looks stylish, here the main "horse" is a lighting engineering in the form of an anti-collar (it looks easily and beautiful). Two-storey glass of fifth door has acquired a wiper (in russian conditions The vital thing is a thing), the opening of the luggage door does not deprive the trunk of practicality, that's just the loading height of the Velice. Completes the composition named "Honda Civic 5D 9th Generation" - Powerful rear bumper With a la Diffuser of unpacked plastic. Summary: Designers managed to preserve the bright attractive image of the "cosmic" car, they went along the way "do not harm" and perfectly coped with their work.

The previous generation of Honda Civic has highlighted among its competitors not only appearance, but also the interior design. The new Honda Civic IX 5D did not lose the avant-garde in the domestic content. Comfortable, ergonomic, beautiful and stylish salon - the owners of the previous generation Civic understand what it is about. The grip steering wheel, the KBP control is located perfectly correctly.

Hound quality Honda hatchback Civic and specifications.
New Honda Civic 5D 9th Generation - front-wheel drive car. The front suspension has not changed - MacPherson racks, the rear also remained the former - torsion beam with connected levers. The beam has become tougher, and the silent blocks of the levers began to install hydraulic (on Honda Legenda, new steering Reika Depending on the motor and installed wheels, 2.47-2.81 coiled (on the Civic of the 8th generation 2.2-2.5 turns) - the steering wheel became not so nervous. Disk brakes with ABC and EBD.
As force aggregates on Honda, the 9th generation Civic is set: two gasoline engines 1.4 I-VTEC (100 hp), 1.8 I-VTEC (142 hp) and diesel engine 2.2 i-DTEC (150 hp). Russian buyers will only get 1.8 liters (142 hp) with 6 MCPP or 5 automatic transmission.

It is time behind the steering wheel, the motor starts the button. On the idling The engine of the 9th Civic is not heard, and when moving with closed windows in the cabin quietly (the Japanese worked over noise insulation). Compared to the previous Honda Civic 5D, the novelty suspension is more comfortable and soft, but on a bad road surface, it is noticeably shakes. Otherwise, all habitual habits of Honda Civic hatchback are present - a sharp steering wheel, a gambling motor and a gearbox, elastic and collected suspension.
As the test drive showed - to manage the new Civic one pleasure, turn around the turn, the car asks for increasing the pace of crossings and studs. Good carBut no more, you can see ourselves to think that from generation to generation Honda Civic becomes calmer, softer, more comfortable and continues to lose adherents who loved Civic for sharpness, rigidity and adrenaline.

Price on Honda Civic 5D (Hatchback) in 2015 For Russia begins with ~ 929 thousand rubles ( basic equipment 1.8 I-VTEC 142 hp with 5 automatic transmission). Top equipment Honda Honda Civic 2015 is offered at a price of ~ 1 million 129 thousand rubles.

Overall impression:

Auto super. Very obedient starts in any frost, never let down the track at any speed cruising speed of 140 km. With revolutions. 2.5T. Mach 215 km an hour. Fuel consumption corresponds to the declared 7-10 liters per hundred. Great appearance. The salon pleases compared to other Japanese. After Sivik, other cars are no longer impressive on the dynamics in spite of what is higher than class and price. Auto harshly get used to you. This is a 120 body after Taeta Caroll.

Advantages:

The first driving is not tired, it is not necessary to catch the car on the corner of the course stability, even at a very high speed of 175 km. Hour. The car is ideal for constant ride for no long distance 300 - 600 km. When loaded tracks. The car operated in the sport or a drop did not regret it. And in vain. Procedure stability. I was driving in a rainy weather on a new smooth asphalt 140 km. The front Rubber stood a new one and with the zadi almost bald. It became interesting to me if the front wheels ride the front wheels will accelerate the water for the rear and and logically, the car should stand on the rules' track, I smoothly accelerated to 175 and the car swam on the asphalt my theory did not work, but I worked fine course stability I felt like me Rose back. After that I drove no more than 140 km. Very very strong suspension. Stabilizer racks by 70 tons. There were still alive. And on Tateter Carol, I was enough for 25 tons. A very strong body superbly work airbags beat very carefully and gently to whom it fell. In general, the story of my Honda has developed tragically in the next trip to my movement lane flew by UAZ Buanka 15 meters of Peresomnoy Well, I was about 100-120 km. Almost without braking, I flew into it from the blow I was thrown into the online job and another car was inserted into it the second. I was even not fastened with the belt, the experts said that I flew into the UAZ about 70 km. Hour. There is not a single injury and scratch. Worked all the pillows. They did not break the strong bumpers after the frontal blow, and the whole slightly shared left remained. One well, the remaining participants in the movement were seriously affected. Oh yes dignity. Very high-quality velor Salon is easily clever, even without chemical cleaning, stains do not remain. Good Shumka. In my opinion on an attachment with other Japanese. Climate control superbly works. Big trunk. Compared 10 Lancer. Nothing creaks. Do not brink. A smooth floor with the journal is convenient to move children across the salon. Strong station discs Put in the pit heavily twice the front wheel. The disk remained a whole but it had to roll. After that, somewhere on 40 thousand. Guarantees were replaced by a nuclear bearing. Good service Furnishing communication. The car is worth his money. Now I consider the purchase of either Crosstur or also sowing but with a leather interior. In general, our family needs two cars to me for the coils and my wife carry the kids. This year I am a loss for a month two cars peugeot partner Do not buy, Peugeot car lived his life. It is a separate story she tanned on the track. Good all cars were insured. Who travels a lot do not spare money on the mouthway.

Disadvantages:

The most important disadvantage of winter is the brutals of janitors that are located very low on them anything does not fall from the glass. By blowing above and the brushes are lower. And always when it takes the snow at least how you clean them they are always iced. This is most annoyed me. In this car. But if the snow does not go all ok. The machine is not practical for the family only for one two people. Or consider the siqules as the second a / m in the family. For example, go to see something for 1000 km and back. When it is loaded, it is no longer punched. Low clearing in winter all catch up. But you can ride. Think some kind of placing will tear off the insurance covers. Expensive insurance is very. I do not recommend the junction who loves speed then that the speed there is not sensing you need a lot of driving experience to control this ship. He conducted an experiment closed the speedometer drifted 180-200 asked from different passengers what the speed of all ages feel 120 -150. But never once said 200. I hope someone this review will help well in choosing a / m. Thank you.

Recall that we appreciate the maintainability in points. They correspond to the total normochas (on the official grid) spent on conducting certain operations.

One in one

Our market "Sivik" comes only with a 1.8 liter gasoline engine (141 hp), which moved from the machine of the previous generation. The timing chain drive is designed for the entire service life and does not require maintenance. Although the forced replacement of the chain will not cause problems: to place labels on the shafts, special tools are not needed - a person will cope with this operation without greater experience.

Drive unit hinged equipment Before indecent enough. The roller tensioner has a very convenient weakening mechanism, and the belt itself can be changed even on top without removing additional elements. Its replacement is not provided for by the regulations, but usually the minimum resource is 100,000 km.

Individual spark plug coils - free access. They are fixed by bolts "at 10", and themselves iridiya candles Made under the head "on 16". The replacement interval is 120,000 km.

To replace the engine air filter, it is enough to lift the cover of its housing. Hatchback Upper partition motor compartment It is located higher than the sedan, respectively, and the lid can be raised above, and this facilitates the procedure. Replacement regulations - every 30,000 km.

And in general, the difference in the layout of the boiled space of the sedan and hatchback is reduced to the trifles.

Replacing the battery does not represent problems even in winter. It is pressed only by a plank, fixed on two long heels with nuts "on 10", and no brittle plastic. The battery charging sensor is planted for a minus terminal, but it is not necessary to touch it - it is enough to weaken only the terminal itself. In rare cases, with a debt of the battery, you will have to enter the magnetic code, and there is no clear dependence on the duration.

Large complaints caused expansion tank Engine cooling systems. It is located very low - under the battery, next to the left fan. The tank causes risks of minimal and maximum levels. They can be seen well, but the fluid level is difficult to see without a flashlight. In addition, the engineers were too low with a bay tank neck. If there is no nozzle on the tank with antifreeze, part of the fluid will certainly be sheds by. And the filling lid of the radiator is located successfully (do not lose any drops), and even before its drain plug, you can reach the top. Antifreeze replacement interval - 200,000 km or 10 years, then 100,000 km or 5 years.

Manual gearbox drain plug Located under the left drive and made under the square ⅜ inch, it is placed above it flashing plug turnkey "on 17". Everything is as usual: pour the oil until it is cleaned of the fuel and simultaneously from the control opening. Surprised only a small oil change interval - 60,000 km. However, for the box it is good.

The manufacturer also took care of the hydromechanical "automatic": the regulation of oil replacement - every 45,000 km. The operation is very simple, as in the good old days. There is a normal drain plug below, and from above - oil Prope, through a hole of which poured oil. At the probe, risks are made to check the level on a heated box.

Cameragal

With all the similarity of the nodes in the subcontrol space, the rest of the sedan and the hatchback is distinguished along with each other (so it was also in the machines of the previous generation). Front cabin panels are different. IN rear suspension - Beam at the hatchback and multi-dimensions at the sedan. Sedana fuel tank It is familiar to the rear side of the seats, and his strange brother - under the front! To replace fuel filterIt is built into the pump, the hatchback will have to remove the central console ... The operation is not very complex, but the fact remains a fact. The technological holes in the floor of both bodies are large enough to freely remove the pump. It is fixed with a lid for which a special puller is needed. The pump must be fully disassembled to replace the filter. Without experience with this operation, it is better not to contact - it will be more expensive. Replacement interval - 90,000 km.

No less surprised and different brake mechanisms. If other models are usually associated with the unequal power of motors, then in the case of Sivikov, the logic is unclear. In both machines, disk brakes in a circle, but at the same time different design and thickness brake discs, Original brackets, calipers and pads! When servicing brake mechanisms, the question of what type of body you have, no longer seems so inappropriate - is it not true? The technology of replacement of elements is identical, just different mounts. A sedan has the front calipers are fixed by bolts "at 14", and the rear - "at 12". At hatchback, guides are applied under the hexagon "by 7". Replacement interval brake fluid More than most brands, - 45,000 km or 3 years.

Front optics are also different, but on the process of replacing lamps it did not affect. All cartridges are fixed by turning. Access to them is strongly limited, but the headlights are also not an option - you will have to dismantle the bumper. Lamps in the outer corners of the headlights change through the fenders. Sometimes it happens! The rest - as usual. On the right prevents the filler neck of the washer tank, but it can be removed. On the left, access is limited by the battery and a small plastic pad between it and the fuse block. The latter is fixed on two simple clips, and the battery trained servicemen does not touch.

The rear optics of the hatchback half diode, ordinary lamps have two times less than the sedan. Both all the cartridges are fixed by turning, except for the number illumination. In case of failure of diodes, the elements of optics will have to be changed assembly. Lamps in the lanterns, which is in the hatchback trunk lid, change through comfortable plugs in the trim. And elements in the wings will have to be removed, because there are no technological holes. To replace the backlight lamps at the hatchback and at the sedan, take out their housings outside.

At the sedan to replace lamps in the lamps in the trunk lid, it is enough to bend it to the trim. If access is still not enough, then you can remove several closest clips. That is, it is not necessary to completely dismantle the trim. Similar history and lanterns in wings. We take out a few clips and flexing the trim, and it is very simple.

The rear fog in both machines are located in the bumper: the sedan in the center, and the hatchback on the left (the retroreflector is right). To replace the lamps you need to be from the inside, their cartridges are fixed with the turn. The sedan is very preventing towing hook: you will have to remove the two nearest clips of the fastening of the bumper and beat it a bit. Hatchback needs to remove the bubber bumper under the fog.

Outcome

For general Evaluation Sivika take the average score in the execution of the sedan and hatchback - 8.85. There was no such good indicator! You can wonder how much you can surprise the illogical differences in two cars (which is worth a gas tank under the front seats at the hatchback!), But the simplicity and thoughtfulness of the service plays everything in their place.

We thank for the help of the preparation of the material the technical center "Aoyama Motors" (on Borovsky Highway).

You are watching a generation that is no longer available.
More information about the model can be found on the last generation page:

Honda Civic 2013 - 2016, Generation IX REST.

Perhaps not enough good sales, changing market conditions, and maybe the criticism of the owners of the ninth generation Honda Civic, which appeared on the market in 2012, forced Honda in a year to submit an updated version of the model.

Of course, in such a short time, the company did not have time to fully recycle Honda Civic, but something was still done. Having caught up that the demand for sedans in the segment "C" began to grow faster than on hatchbacks, Japanese engineers urgently improved the version 4D, which, by the way, is produced with a sedan body (5D is a five-door hatchback).

It should be noted that it was the compact Honda Civic that brought a Japanese brand much more benefit than any other model produced by him. The question concerns not so much profits as the image of the brand, its authority and recognition. Some experts believe that it was thanks to Civic, Honda could become the world's largest automaker.

According to the marketers conducted by the study, most often Honda Civic acquire men aged 35 years, with higher education, which are highly qualified specialists or middle managers, previously owned by cars of other brands, including Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla, Mitsubishi Lancer.. Therefore, in accordance with the new concept, the updated Honda Civic was to become the most high-quality, energetic, dynamic and even premium. According to these requirements, the restyling of the ninth generation was held.

Under the hood of Honda Civic is not bad, the proven four-cylinder 1.8-liter petrol motor 142 hp with torque in 174 nm, which is invited to pair or with a six-speed mechanical box Transmissions or with a five-sample "machine". The latter has a manual control mode and even stealing petals, but they are not present in all confinement. The drive is exceptionally front.

Improvements in the new Honda Civic

In addition to improvement challenges Honda Civic, developers decided to increase its appeal due to the improvement of the appearance and improve the comfort of the cabin. As a result, new: hood, trunk lid, radiator grille, front bumper, alloy discs with an updated pattern and even rear lights. Salon Honda. Civic also transformed due to the use of soft panels for its finishing and sets of decorative silver inserts.

But these Japanese engineers were not limited. They improved passive security Honda Civic with frontal clashes, strengthened the mounting of the steering column, the steering mechanism itself and the rear partition (between the interior and the luggage compartment) were more stringent. At the same time, the gaps in the engagement of the gear - Rake were reduced, which led to an increase in the sensitivity of the steering wheel in the zero zone. To reduce rolls, in the front suspension Honda Civic increased the diameter of the stabilizer transverse stability, increased reliability of anthers of the front and rear shock absorbers.

Honda Civic configuration

Steel and configuration. So in Executive Honda Civic Added xenon headlights with washers, rain and parking sensors reverse. In Lifestyle and Elegance, a tire pressure control system appeared. But all this, of course, affected the cost of cars, which went up for approximately 30 thousand rubles. As a result, there is no cheap model in maximum configuration It began to cost about 1 million rubles, while the crisis raged in the country. This finally submitted sales, which were not good to call it impossible. After a while, the company was forced to fully turn the delivery of Honda Civic to the domestic market. Therefore, the appearance of the tenth generation Honda Civic in Russia as of 2015 remains under a big question, while in the USA it is already sold in might and main.
