Slipping behind the wheel of a new Civic sedan will have you grinning from ear-to-ear. Even the base LX model is well-equipped with automatic climate control and a slew of advanced safety features.

The Multi-Angle Rearview Camera
Known as the Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, you can get a better view of what’s behind you by adjusting the angle three different ways. You can choose from normal, top-down, and wide views and backup carefully using the provided guidelines. You won’t have to worry about running over a bike or causing a fender bender while trying to parallel park. You can even listen to music through the 4-speaker stereo and fold the rear seat down for more space.
The Sport Trim
Stepping up to the Sport trim level will get you a lot of add-on features. The first notable things are keyless ignition/entry and handy 60/40 split-folding rear seats. Next, you will notice the numerous tech upgrades, including a 7-inch high-resolution touchscreen that functions with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This entertainment update allows you to stream your favorite playlist and mess around with apps seamlessly. Essentially, it syncs your smartphone to your vehicle for ease of use. You can even use Siri to ask for directions. Additionally, a leather-wrapped steering wheel has been added for a sophisticated look, and the stereo has also been upgraded with eight speakers.
The EX Trim
The mid-level EX starts to add luxurious features like heated seats with power adjustability and a sunroof.

Once you move up to the EX-L, you will notice even more luxury features.

SiriusXM Radio has been added for more music options, and the Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock system will automatically lock the vehicle when you leave and unlock it when you come back. An auto-dimming rearview mirror has also been included. If a vehicle behind you has its bright lights shining into your eyes, this advanced mirror will automatically soften the hard reflection. This optimizes visibility for you at night and keeps the other vehicle’s lights from temporarily blinding you. Another handy tech feature on the EX-L is the HomeLink Remote System. Compatible with universal garage door openers and gates, you can activate devices such as these with the click of a button.
