Honda Civic Test: The Correct Configuration For The Classic

honda civic 2014 test

Honda Civic Test - The Honda Civic is now one of nine generations, he had sold nearly 19 million copies. So if one know how works the Hare in the automotive industry, then the compact Japanese. He is also aware that a long and successful tradition are worth little so. Honda has bought a model care already this spring - the debut of station wagons - the only 2012 introduced 9 generation. Our test is defined in which configuration it emits the best figure.

Limousine, hatchback & wagon are available

The civic offers Honda in three patterns: as say sedan as a helical tail variant - and since the spring of 2014, again as a civic tourer, as combined. The hatchback looks here, although most schnittigsten, with 4.32 meters, it is well 20 centimeters shorter than the sister models - and even scarcer dimensioned accordingly in the Interior. Knapp, but is here relative to understand because even with four adults, it is not really tight in the civic. naturally, this applies also for the sedan and the civic tourer, which both are 4.55 metres long. All three civic models may also the much-vaunted "Magic Seats" boast, that either fold themselves like Chair at the cinema upwards - or to get. The magic single chairs of the Fund Bank thus enabling both the simple transport of particularly long as high objects. When folded to the cargo area is also not only a just, but also very spacious: In the Honda Civic he amounted to 477 to 1.378 liters, in the civic sedan on 440 to 1.352 - and in the civic tourer to 624 to 1.668 litres. There is even the Skoda Octavia Combi - so far undisputed loadmasters of the compact class - with its 610 to 1,740 litres in sweat. And a VW variant has left Golf with 605 to 1.620 l anyway.

You go to the space, the Honda Civic tourer so seems to be the first choice; also because he is only about 1,500 or 1,000 euros more expensive than the sedan and the hatchback. The combination also is that he - by the way - is available in five different trim levels like the hatchback civic (S, comfort, sport, lifestyle and Executive). For the sedan, Honda has, however, only the comfort and Executive line in the program. What trim level, but will it be now? For us at least the sport, because standard from their practical tools such as the dual-zone automatic climate control and secure extras such as light and rain sensor, and the rear view camera are.

Hardly a route passes on the turbo diesel

honda civic 2014 rear

Honda Civic 2014 rear similar differently and devoured as the trim levels is also the driving range of the civic. Honda as a whole only three engines offered, but not for each variant of the body. For example only the stronger and larger of the two intake manifold gasoline engines (even with the new tourer is he the only available engine) works in the limousine. The 1.8 i-VTEC nm top torque that is cleaner-typical late, from 4,300 RPM produces with 142 Horsepower and 174. Yet the civic with him not very slow driving, in 9.1 seconds as it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h; and as top speed it reaches at least 215 km/h. Consumption keeps up with 5.8 liter according to standard within the limits, just under 8 liters in the test but there is no reason to sing praises of its efficiency. As an alternative to the large vacuum cleaner, Honda offers even a small intake manifold injection, the 100 HP strong 1.4 i-VTEC for the hatchback civic. He delivers but later, comes only from 4,800 rpm, its 127 nm peak torque and creates as the zero hundred Sprint after 13.4 seconds. 187 km/h peak and 5.4 liter standard consumption are values that can be classified only as useful.

Clearly more joyful, he agrees only diesel on offer, the 1.6 i-DTEC us however. Extradite him Honda but only for the hatchback and station wagon models, the sedan must renounce any support for diesel. Too bad, because the smooth and tangy 1.6 i-DTEC can wait to NM peak torque from 4,000 rpm with 120 HP and from 2,000 rpm with 300. That's enough to accelerate the civic in 10.4 seconds to 100 and in the tip to 204 km/h; Furthermore, is the turbo diesel also in the intermediate sprints for Schaltfaule from the living page, using the exact working six-speed box quite stimulating to switch. And consumption? Which is according to Honda and standard 3.6 liters (94 grams of CO2), in the test, we came to 5.6 litres, which can be reduced with a little savings will easily to 5 litres.

Conclusion: at the end, one thing is certain: for us the ideal Honda Civic must be fired strictly diesel with the 1.6 i-DTEC. Thus leaves the Honda Civic sedan; and because we have the practicality especially in sight, only the Honda Civic tourer in question comes for us.
