- History & Type Of Eighth Generation Honda Civic
The eighth generation Civic featured improvements in all measures of an automobile’s value, including driving performance, fuel economy, environmental friendliness, and packaging. It was designed to surround its occupants with sensuous quality and to provide a ride that everyone would enjoy and appreciate.
In the United States, the series included the ever-popular two- and fourdoor models, providing excellent driving comfort and fuel economy thanks to a new engine, and improved safety performance.
In Europe, where competition in the compact car market is intense, the series included three- and fivedoor models, and also featured an original Honda-developed diesel engine to broaden its presence.
In Japan and elsewhere in Asia, Honda rejuvenated the Civic’s image by providing new visual features that closely reflect regional characteristics.
In 2006, Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd., an affiliate based in Wuhan, China, began producing the eighth generation Civic.
As a result, the Civic is produced in six regions worldwide, further highlighting its presence as a truly global car.
All of the new Civic models worldwide featured newly developed engines that deliver performance equivalent to larger engines, but with the fuel efficiency of smaller engines—thereby taking performance and efficiency to a new level.
