New colours and new alloy wheels are about the only obvious signs of an upgrade to the Honda Civic sedan but there’s certainly more to make you safer in the 2010 Honda Civic sedan.
Following the introduction of Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) across the entire Honda Civic sedan range in February 2009, Honda Australia has now added curtain airbags as standard equipment on the entry model Civic VTi sedan with the introduction of the 2010 Year Model.
All 2010 Civic sedans are fitted with the latest safety technology, starting with the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, ABS Brakes with EBD, active front head restraints, dual front, side and curtain airbags and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) as standard.
The inclusion of these features on all 2010 Civic models gives customers the highest levels of safety, regardless of which model they choose.
In addition, the 2010 Civic offers customers a greater colour choice with an expanded palette to include Dyno Blue and Habenero Red. Dyno Blue is making its Australian debut, while Habenero Red was first seen with the introduction of the Honda City in February 2009.
Other upgrades include sporty ten-spoke 16 inch alloy wheels on the VTi-L model.
The upgrades to the eighth-generation Civic will ensure its ongoing success in the competitive small car segment and it’s already a multi-award winner in Australia. The Civic VTi was crowned ‘Best Mid Size Car under $28,000’ by Australia’s Best Cars (Australia’s major motoring clubs award) in 2006 and 2007 and also received Drive’s Car of the Year ‘Certificate of Excellence’ for Best Interior in 2006.
Commenting on the introduction of the 2010 Honda Civic sedan, Honda Australia’s Senior Director Mr. Lindsay Smalley said, “The eighth-generation Civic has been very successful for Honda since its launch. These enhancements make the Civic even more enticing while continuing its reputation of providing outstanding value.
