Features include but are not limited to, Bluetooth telephony, USB audio, Push Button ignition, Parking Sensors, and a Remote Engine Starter – mighty impressive for offerings that fall on the lower rung of the spec ladder.

Producing 123 horsepower and 151 Nm of torque, the all-new 1.6-liter engine gets mated to a revised CVT transmission that flaunts taller gear ratios for enhanced fuel economy. Enabling low-rpm cruising, the reworked transmission offers smooth acceleration and fuel efficiency that returns 18.4 km/ liter.
While the previous 2.0-liter engine enabled the entry-point of Civic ownership at AED 72,900, the all-new engine and grades allow potential buyers to enjoy the numerous benefits of a Civic from as low as AED 67,900.
