Honda has unveiled the 11th-generation of its popular Civic sedan. The 2022 Civic comes with new design that was first showcased in November last year. The 2022 Honda Civic also gets updated interiors, improved powertrain and several features.
The design of the 2022 Civic sedan has become simpler than its predecessors with fewer character lines on the body and is in line with the new HR-V that was officially unveiled a few days ago.
The first thing that catches the eyes is the hood which has now become longer to help create a more dynamic and sporty look. Honda said its designers have pushed back the A-pillars by 1.96 inches and helps make the bonnet look longer. The sedan also has sharp edges that run along the profile and visually connects the front with the back.
