speaking of the new honda civic, as early as may this year, honda released official pictures overseas, and the new car has been upgraded in appearance, interior and power system. in july, we saw the domestic new civic in the new car catalog of the ministry of industry and information technology, which seems to mean that the new car will be officially launched soon.

now, it is september again. although we still don't know when the new civic will be officially launched, based on the current civic sales data at the terminal and the previously exposed spy photos of the new civic, we also want to discuss with you whether the new civic with such appearance and changes can really sell well after it is launched. let's analyze it below.

to be honest, if the new domestically produced civic is really equipped with the same new hexagonal air intake grille as the overseas version, i personally think its appearance will be reduced.

although the new car has a larger central air intake, vents on both sides, and smoked taillights, compared with the current model, the current model seems to be more coordinated and aesthetically pleasing. therefore, if the domestically produced new civic is modified to look like the overseas version, it is hard to say how well it will sell in the future, at least there is a question mark.

as for the interior, it is likely that the design language of the current model will be continued, providing a center console composed of an lcd instrument panel + a floating center control screen, and a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel. from the perspective of a joint venture car, the interior of the honda civic is not outdated, but if measured by the standards of domestic new forces, it is somewhat inferior in terms of intelligence.

after all, the continuous recognition of a voice command alone can stump most joint venture cars, but for some new models, it is just a piece of cake, so it depends on how you look at the difference between them.

as for power, the new honda civic will most likely continue to offer 1.5t engines and 2.0l hybrid powertrains. the 1.5t version offers low and high power, with maximum power of 95kw and 134kw respectively; while the 2.0l hybrid version will be equipped with a 2.0l i-mmd hybrid system, with a maximum power of 105kw and a peak torque of 182n·m, matched with an e-cvt gearbox, and the overall power performance is still remarkable.

finally, let's take a look at the terminal sales data of the current civic model. from the sales data of the past three months, the current civic has gone from 6,589 new cars in june, 3,186 new cars in july, to 4,282 new cars in august. the overall sales performance can be said to be not optimistic. now that the current models are gradually not selling well, the new models have not come out yet, and there are doubts on the internet, how long will the civic series's highlight moment in china last? i think time will prove everything, let's wait and see.
