Advantages

Civic LX Sedan shown in Cosmic Blue Metallic.

More fuel-efficient.

Breeze past the pump more often in the Civic EX with a combined 36-mpg fuel-economy rating.* That’s a better rating than the Corolla XLE, Sentra SV and the Elantra Value Edition have.

More horsepower.

The Civic EX features a 4-cylinder, 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that clocks in at 174 horsepower.* That’s more muscle than the Corolla XLE CVT, Sentra SV and Elantra Value Edition can deliver.

Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM).

RDM* can determine if you cross over detected lane lines without signaling, can provide steering assistance to help you return to your lane or provide braking to help keep you from leaving the roadway entirely. The competition can’t offer you that.

Smart Entry. Smarter exit.

Keep the keys in your pocket with available Smart Entry and enjoy the convenience of Walk Away Auto Lock®. The Corolla, Sentra and Elantra don’t give you that kind of a hand.

An eight-speaker symphony.

The Civic EX is a treat for both your eyes and your ears, with its eight speakers pumping outstanding sound. The Corolla XLE, Sentra SV and Elantra Value Edition can’t compete, offering just six speakers standard.

Make it just right.

With an available 8-way adjustable power driver’s seat, the Civic offers more ways than the comparable Sentra and Elantra to personalize your position and adjust your seat with ease.
