Port Blair, Apr 08: The all new 2019 Honda Civic was launched in Andaman during a programme at Honda Showroom, Lambaline this evening. During the programme, the CEO of Prince Group Mr. Inderjeet Khurana was present. The first 2019 Honda Civic car was handed over to the owner during the occasion.
As per specification, while the refreshed model remains largely unchanged in most of the areas, it gets a slightly revised front bumper with chrome finish for the fog lamp housings and piano black inserts in the front grille. Apart from this, the new model also gets a chrome strip for the rear. Furthermore, the updated model gets a new design for the alloy wheels and larger 18-inch rims for the higher trims.
The previous generation lacked a diesel engine option and this was one of the reasons behind its retirement. That being said, the new generation Civic got a diesel engine for the first time. The 1.6-litre diesel mill to be on offer with the new model is expected to be the most fuel efficient in the segment and it is the same unit that powers the new CR-V. Apart from this, the new Civic got a 1.8-litre petrol engine as well along with a six-speed manual transmission and automatic gearbox. The cabin of the new 2019 Honda Civic also features a darker theme for a sportier appeal, very much in sync with the character of the Civic.
