2012 Honda Civic Sedan Weight Saving Technologies

The ninth-generation 2012 Civic introduces a sleeker style and higher fuel-efficiency than the previous generation. The Civic range consists of sedans and coupes powered by conventional gasoline, high-performance, hybrid, and compressed natural gas engine choices. Technology and features new to the Civic include an available "intelligent" Multi-Information Display (i-MID), an available Eco Assist™ system and a new Motion-Adaptive Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system that works in conjunction with Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA; VSA and EPS are included as standard equipment on all models. All Civic models achieve higher EPA fuel economy ratings1 compared to the 2011 models, up by as much as 8 percent on the highway in Civic Sedans and Coupes equipped with automatic transmissions.
For 2012 Honda Civic Sedan, the Navi system includes FM traffic, a subscription-free service that alerts you to traffic conditions (available on EX and above). The available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with voice recognition guides you to your destinations. The Civic offers the brisk performance of a 140-hp, 1.8-liter, 16-valve, SOHC i-VTEC engine that has been refined for 2012 with many friction-reducing and airflow improvements. Weight-saving technologies, improved aerodynamics and engine modifications result in a new Civic with some impressive new EPA ratings. The 2012 Civic Sedan now achieves 28 city/39 highway mpg. Plus, increased structural rigidity makes for more responsive handling.
