In terms of interior and exterior appearance, there’s no difference between the petrol and diesel-powered models apart from the badging at the rear. You get all the features of the VX and ZX trim levels of which the latter is a top-spec variant with offerings like lane watch camera, power driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control and ambient lighting apart from 17-inch alloy wheels, electric sunroof, curtain airbags and rain-sensing wipers.
The Civic is Honda’s rival for the likes of the Hyundai Elantra, Tata Harrier, MG Hector, Jeep Compass and the next-generation Skoda Octavia set to launch in India in 2021.
Commenting on the launch, Rajesh Goel, Senior vice president and director, marketing and sales, Honda Cars India Ltd said, “Honda is committed to bringing its latest and advanced environment-friendly technologies to the Indian market.
