2021年本田Civic Sedan Review: Still A Joy To Drive

The Honda Civic sedan, like theMazda3 sedanandSubaru Impreza, is a car that, from the outside, seems like a basic, simple, and relatively boring sedan. But much like its competitors, it's remarkably popular. It's actually a lot of fun to drive, despite its standard continuously variable transmission and there are two engines are on offer: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-banger developing a modest but respectable 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque, and a turbocharged offering. This is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder and produces 174 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. But does the Civic sedan still have what it takes to stay at the front of the pack?

2021年本田Civic Sedan Changes:What’s The Difference vs The 2020 Civic Sedan?

这里不多说。新本田Civic sedan sees no changes for the 2021 model year. The car hasn't been updated since 2019, so we won't blame you if you decide to wait for the all-new 2022 Honda Civic model coming later this year. The only change of note is that the manual transmission is no longer available on the Civic sedan.

Pros and Cons

  • Entertaining to drive
  • Spacious interior
  • Plenty of standard safety equipment
  • Great economy figures from turbo model
  • Numerous trim levels
  • Base model is very basic
  • Some rivals offer better warranty coverage
  • Android Auto/Apple CarPlay not standard

Civic Sedan Exterior

Depending on which model you go for, the exterior details of the Civic sedan are varied. For example, the base model comes with 16-inch steel wheels with plastic covers while other trims get either 17- or 18-inch alloys. Furthermore, while most models have halogen headlights, the top trim gets LED headlights. The Sport model also boasts the addition of fog lights and a gloss black trunk spoiler, but you have to choose the EX trim to get a sunroof. Nevertheless, all models feature hidden exhaust tips and fake vents in both bumpers.

Dimensions

All versions of the 2021 4-door Honda Civic sedan have similar dimensions, with the only variance being in the weight. Length measures 182.7 inches while height is rated at 55.7 inches. Width is 70.9 inches across, but what do these cars weigh? The base model tips the scales at 2,771 pounds, while the Sport is a little lardier at 2,847 lbs. The mid-level EX is heavier still at 2,917 lbs, but the EX-L and Touring trims at the top of the range have the greatest mass at 2,928 lbs and 2,963 lbs respectively.

  • Length 182.7 in
  • Wheelbase 106.3 in
  • Height 55.7 in
  • Max Width 70.9 in
  • Front Width 60.9 in
  • Rear Width 61.5 in
  • Curb Weight 2,771.0 lbs

Exterior Colors

The base model is offered in a selection of five no-cost colors: Modern Steel Metallic, Aegean Blue Metallic, Lunar Silver Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl, and Rallye Red. If you're willing to part with an additional $395, you can choose between Cosmic Blue Metallic, Molten Lava Pearl, and Platinum White Pearl. The Sport gets the same standard colors, but only Platinum White Pearl is available as an option as it loses out on Cosmic Blue Metallic and Molten Lava Pearl. Fortunately, all the other trims get the same choices as the base version.

  • Platinum White Pearl+$395

Engine and Transmission

Just two engines are offered with the Civic sedan in the USA. The base and Sport trims come with a 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated four-pot that produces 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque. Both get a CVT, but the Sport's transmission can be controlled with paddle shifters that mimic those of a conventional automatic or DCT. Regardless of which CVT you get, all versions of the Civic sedan send power exclusively to the front wheels. Step up to the EX or higher trims and you'll revert to a CVT, only in these models power comes from a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing an impressive 174 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. There are no 0-60 mph times or top speed claims made for the Civic, but trust us when we say it's got enough power for its purpose.

Handling and Driving Impressions

As we mentioned at the outset, the Civic is a car that may look relatively average but actually handles remarkably well. Not only does it have great turn-in and balance, but it also rides in an exemplary manner. It's neither too firm nor too floaty, and you can hit small to medium-sized bumps without worrying about dislodging a filling. Braking is also good, with appropriate pedal feel and good responses, while acceleration is neither pedestrian nor blistering. Sure, that may make it seem like a totally average machine, but again, the balance of the chassis means that you sometimes forget that you have a CVT aiding your progress. It's not as engaging as a manual, of course, but it must be said that the CVT is not so bad that you long to be in control of your own shifts at all times.

Civic Sedan Gas Mileage

Depending on which model you opt for, gas mileage estimates can differ. According to the EPA, the base version will achieve 30/38/33 mpg on the city/highway/combined cycles, but the Sport model with the same engine achieves 29/37/32, due to its greater weight and slightly different CVT with paddles. Moving on to the models with the turbocharged 1.5-liter, the EX will do 32/42/36 mpg on the EPA's cycles, as will the EX-L. The top Touring trim is a little thirstier at 30/38/33 mpg. All models come with a 12.4-gallon gas tank, so you'll get the most range out of one of the EX trims: with mixed driving, we estimate an average of around 446 miles.

座位和室内空间

The interior of the Civic Sedan is fairly simple, but it's laid out in a way that makes it look more expensive than it is with good quality materials used. In fact, we'd go so far as to say that its dash wouldn't have looked out of place in a BMW from six or seven years ago. The seats are comfortable and you can easily seat six-foot adults behind either of the front chairs. We'd reserve the middle seat for a child, but wherever you sit, you'll find decent headroom inside. Up front, there's lots of support from the seats, and on the EX and higher trims, you get an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat with heating. The view out from here is good too, although seeing the end of the trunk is tricky. Fortunately, there are plenty of standard safety features and driver aids.

  • Seating capacity
    5-seater
  • Front Leg Room 42.3 in
  • Front Head Room 39.3 in
  • Rear Leg Room 37.4 in
  • Rear Head Room 37.1 in

Civic Sedan Trunk and Cargo Space

Trunk space in the Civic sedan has an official rating of 15.1 cubic feet, enough for a pair of large suitcases and another two small carry-on cases. In the Touring trim with its subwoofer, cargo volume decreases to 14.7 cubes, but there's still enough for the abovementioned luggage. And if you need more, the seats can fold in a 60/40 split.

In the cabin, all four doors offer large pockets with beverage holders, but the base model only offers two real cupholders. The EX and higher trims offer four, but even without them, there are plenty of spots for other items too: a hidden bin beneath the center console, center armrest storage, and a decent glovebox.

Civic Sedan Infotainment and Features

Features

As standard, all Honda Civics come with forward collision detection and mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and a rearview camera. In the base model, this is supplemented only by automatic halogen headlights with auto high beams, automatic climate control, hill start assist, and a remote trunk release. In the Honda Civic Sport model, the rearview camera has dynamic guidelines, while other enhancements include push-button ignition, keyless entry, remote start, and, exclusive to this trim, wheel resonators that reduce road noise. Step up to the EX and you gain heated front seats, a sunroof, dual-zone climate control, heated wing mirrors, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat. The EX-L only adds an auto-dimming rearview mirror, but the top-spec Touring trim heats the rear outboard seats and boasts LED headlights, a four-way power-adjustable passenger seat, and rain-sensing wipers. Wireless charging is optional.

Infotainment

The entry-level LX trim is the only one with a five-inch LCD infotainment screen and a four-speaker sound system. Sure, you get Bluetooth connectivity and USB ports, but we'd skip this trim. The Sport model is better with its seven-inch touch display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and eight-speaker audio setup. The EX is better still, with SiriusXM satellite radio and HD Radio, but only the Touring trim boasts navigation with traffic updates and a premium ten-speaker sound system with a subwoofer in the trunk. Unfortunately, all versions of the infotainment system aren't all that easy enough to understand and navigate, and you get a hint of this generation's age when it comes to the speed of responses.

Civic Sedan Problems and Reliability

Thus far, neither the 2021 nor the 2020 variants of the Civic have been subject to any recalls. The last recall was in May of 2020 and applied to the 2019 version. This was for a fuel pump that may fail, but no further issues have presented themselves since. That being said, there have been numerous complaints about the 2020 model regarding the electrical system, with one report saying that the tire pressure monitoring system is faulty.

In terms of coverage, Honda provides a limited warranty for the first three years/36,000 miles along with a powertrain warranty for the first five years/60,000 miles. However, no complimentary scheduled maintenance is offered - something that is an oddity in this segment.

Warranty

  • Basic:
    3 Years \ 36,000 Miles
  • Drivetrain:
    5 Years \ 60,000 Miles
  • Corrosion:
    5 Years \ Unlimited Miles
  • Roadside Assistance:
    3 Years \ 36,000 Miles

Civic Sedan Safety

The NHTSA's review of the Honda Civic sedan resulted in impeccable crash test results, with a full five stars achieved in all tests conducted. Over at the IIHS, the 2021 Civic received top scores of Good in all six categories, barring the base model's headlight tests. In its review of the 2020 Civic, the IIHS also awarded the sedan with the prestigious Top Safety Pick title.

Verdict:Is The 2021 Honda Civic Sedan A Good car?

如果你购物在这个部分,你可能looking for something that is comfortable, efficient, spacious, and reliable. You also want something safe, and the Honda Civic sedan definitely meets all these criteria. As an added bonus, it's a lot of fun to drive too. Of course, if you're looking to get something with a lot of power, this is the wrong car for you, but in pretty much every other respect, it's almost faultless. It rides smoothly yet is agile, looks fairly striking from the right angles, and is affordable. Both engine offerings are remarkably efficient too, and without an endless list of options, it's child's play to pick the ideal model for your specific needs. Add to this Honda's impressive list of standard features and it's a great car. Just don't settle for anything less than the Sport model - the base version shows this car's age better than any of the others.

What's the Price of the 2021 Honda Civic Sedan?

The base LX trim of the Civic sedan comes with a starting MSRP of $21,250, before a $995 destination charge. Step up a trim, and the cost of the Honda Civic Sport increases to $23,050. The base price of the Honda Civic EX is $24,400 while the EX-L is a little pricier at $25,600; the Touring trim is the most expensive and goes on sale for $28,300. Fully loaded, you can spec this version to around $35,000, all in.

What Honda Civic Sedan Model Should I Buy?

公民的基本模型有点未留下深刻印象ing, so we'd overlook this one. Typically, we'd recommend opting for the trim that offers a manual transmission, but since that is not even an option anymore, we think the EX is the best option. Along with many of the Sport model's upgrades - fog lights, keyless entry, push-button ignition, a larger infotainment screen, and double the speakers - the EX also offers heated front seats, a sunroof, satellite radio, rear cupholders, dual-zone climate control, and a power-adjustable driver's seat, as well as a more powerful engine. By contrast, the EX-L is over a grand dearer and only adds leather upholstery, a garage door opener, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The Touring is also rather pricey for a runaround sedan like this. For these reasons, we feel that the EX offers the best value.

2021年本田Civic Sedan vs Toyota Corolla Sedan

The Toyota Corolla sedan, unlike the Civic, is not still waiting to be refreshed. It was fully redesigned for the 2020 model year and as such, looks and feels a little more up to date. It's also cheaper, with a base price of just $20,025. Sure, that base model has tiny 15-inch steel wheels and the car is heavier than the Civic, but gas mileage is similar to that of the Honda and you get similar safety features too. In the power stakes, the Honda wins the battle regardless of which of the Corolla's engine offerings you choose. The Civic also has a larger trunk and a more playful chassis. These two are very closely matched, but our vote goes to the Civic.

2021年本田Civic Sedan vs Honda Accord

With the 2021 Honda Accord carrying a base MSRP of just $24,970, it's not much of a stretch to consider this larger offering. It's got 16.7 cubic feet of volume with the rear seats up and is also available as a hybrid for better economy. In addition, even the base model gets dual-zone climate control, push-button ignition, and a multi-angle rearview camera. All trims also get a more modern eight-inch touch display, and you can even get wireless smartphone integration here. You also get the option of a more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 252 hp and 273 lb-ft. If you can afford it, we'd advise going with the Accord - it's simply more car. But by the same token, a mid-level Civic sedan is almost as good.
