2014 Civic Sedan FB gets a face lift :)

[warrenR]

Hello everyone. Been keeping an eye on the Honda Australia website lately, just found that the 2014 Civic FB Sedan got face lift! This might be good news for anyone thinking of getting a Civic Sedan soon :)

Spec Sheet here (http://civic.honda.com.au/assets/pdf/civic_specs.pdf)

I think they currently preparing brochure for it as well. Details on the Civic Page (http://civic.honda.com.au/?origin=main-header-link)


I am just quickly listing few new features after face lift. Please add more if I have missed any:

1. there are five trim levels: vi, vti, vti-s, vti-L, Sport
2. Keyless entry now across all range
3. replace the button-based center dash panel with a large touch screen for all range (nice one, it looks better than the one on the old Civic Sport)
4. reverse camera for vti and above (Big Bonus)
5. 6 speakers for vti-s and above (Thank god they did it)
6. new front grid with more sporty feel
7. the rim gets re-design (a bit more aggressive than the ones on the old Vti-L)


However, unlike the 9th gen civic face lift in US, the aussie civic's rear taillight remain unchanged (at least I could tell the difference)


Anyway, At least Honda Australia try to make the civic remain competitive to its local rivals

Interesting ... So that means the only manual transmission option is the Vi model, which means it misses out on most of the "updated" features (according to that spec sheet).

fml.. i want that touchscreen

All say they get halogen headlights except the sport which just says auto headlights.
Which could mean anything.

trust me touch screen in a car is a no no. Its so hard to use. Well, I drove a prius with touch screen like that. So hard to even change radio station LOL!

Does it really matter though? Upgrading bulbs is so cheap, I would love it if they changed the lens to projector type

But meh, imo, that civic looks ugly as shit. Interior is pretty good in contrast LOL

If it has HIDs it is just easier.

nahbrah OEM HID's are lightyears ahead of retrofitted HID kits

Ive been in cars with touchscreen and i haven't had a problem. Parents own a CX5 and that has the touchscreen controllable with the steering wheel controls. Can only assume the civic will be like that as well

and all 9th gen sedans have projectors, even the prefacelifts. They're still halogens but theyre in a projector so converting to HID is alright

Any pictures?

Sport
Must be a K20 eh
Or the new type R turbo engine
Without the turbo?

[lolmclol]

R20 like the current generation.

About time the sedan got a facelift. I was so turned off by the new sedan over an 8th gen...

[Jasemas]

R is the new D eh? :P

[curtis265]

R is the new D eh? :P

well yeah, i guess (http://asia.vtec.net/Engines/R18A/)

The Civic sedan is struggling ,Corolla sedan and Mazda 3 sedan are selling like hot cakes...I think the Civic range faces a bleak future,as hatch sales are even worse than the sedans...Honda what is going on ???

I think you need a new halo car,like a all new Euro to get people interested again and into showrooms........

[warrenR]

Any pictures?

the Honda Aussie Official site still developing the brochure.

You can look up civic 2014 sedan in Car sale web site and there should be some on sale already.

I think the features upgrade makes the civic a bit more competetive, but not so much in terms of engine output and fuel efficiency (he new mazda 3 is well ahead of civic in terms of this).

Steering wheel control is okay. But anyhow, touching the screen while driving is an absolute no to me. Too much of a distraction. I don't wanna be like, "lets take a peek and see where to touch to change audio input to USB". nek minut T-boned. But that's just me.

I wouldn't call it touch screen specific.... ever seen a focus?

let me just change the station...however you do that
