If there is such a person, from the social big brother of the left green dragon and the right white tiger, overnight to the small company employee wearing a suit and tie, you will definitely feel that something terrible has happened to this person.
In the same way, if there is such a car, from time to time to play a drainage ditch over the bend fancy drift, suddenly become a family car to pick up and drop off the wife and children, you will be very surprised.
In the automotive industry, those who dare to "change sex" like this can't find a few with a magnifying glass.
That's right, it's ta – the Honda Eleventh Generation Civic.
Civic has a long reputation in the global automotive market, and even the famous Honda CR-V was first born on the Civic platform.
After arriving in the Chinese market, Honda Civic is also a paragraph manufacturing machine, and the names of "Farah Domain" and "Civic is better to push down the sea" are not shy.
The appearance of teeth and claws, the magic change of bells and whistles, and the sitting in the car of a young social youth with colorful hair, this is the first impression of many people on civic.
Of course, there are also many people who buy the Civic for their families, but they still like to drive fiercely from time to time, otherwise they will be sorry for its Fara Domain's name.
However, with the launch of the Eleventh Generation Civic, that all changed.
On September 24, 2021, the eleventh generation of Honda Civic was officially launched, and this car has been controversial since its debut, because it is really too "Civic", but a bit like a cheap version of the Accord.
But no matter what, it still appeared in the eyes of fans' doubts.
Amazingly, by the end of 2021, his sales are climbing steadily, which is gratifying!
From Farah domain to "Little Accord", how did sales go up? Today, let's analyze it in detail!
Appearance: What "sports" to play!
The original Civic looks very bad, the huge fog light area and the narrow headlights occupy the four corners of the X-shaped front face, giving people the first impression that the car is "in a bad mood".
Such a design has also accumulated a long-term charm for it, and in the field of A-class cars, such exaggerated designs are rare.
The new Civic style has changed greatly, the size of the fog light area has become smaller, the middle and net parts have been added "forehead", and the lower half is filled with dense horizontal lines, and the whole temperament has completely changed.
It's a family car with a slightly more stylish feel to it, and even a bit like Toyota.
The change in the side of the body is even more maddening to fans, the original Civic is a dynamic slipback body, with this has attracted countless fans, however, the new Civic has become a traditional sedan shape, it does look more calm.
In the search for composure, Civic does not want to lose its "nature" of sports, so the new Civic adds a black tail wing to the rear of the car to tell others that it is still very sporty!
I have to say that Civic is really careful in styling.
The same change also appeared in the rear of the car, the exaggerated C-type taillights were missing, the polygonal rear fog light area was directly canceled, and the arrogant mid-air vent became the traditional model of two outs on both sides.
This design seems to be more in line with the ideals in the hearts of fans, and there is no loss of composure in sports, and there is liveliness in calmness.
Interior: It's changed, but it's not quite changed
The new Civic interior has undergone major changes, and the original Civic interior uses a large number of curved lines, more layers, and is visually messy.
The new Civic has been upgraded, the lines of the center console are very straight, and the original embedded central control screen has been changed to a suspension, which looks much fresher.
However, one thing has not changed, that is, the interior material is still a lot of hard plastic.
It seems that no matter how to change, Japanese cars do not pay attention to this ancestral skill of the interior, and they will not lose it.
Motivation: Pretending to be upgrading
The new Civic is the same as the old car, all models are equipped with 1.5T turbocharged engines, the old Civic 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 130 kW, the maximum torque is 220N·m and 226N·m, respectively; the new Civic 1.5T engine low-power version has a maximum power of 95 kW and a maximum torque of 180 N·m; the high-power version has a maximum power of 134 kW and a maximum torque of 240 N·m.
It is true that the change has changed, but the change is almost negligible.
2.0T engine?
Don't think about it, it's unlikely in this life!
48V Mix?
The next generation may have!
Can I still drag racing?
This one you do at will.
Civic's most striking thing is the power performance, but I did not expect that its replacement model was changed left and right, and the engine was the least changed.
Civic has always been a athlete in the sports world, but did not expect, this time but walked the idol wind, just like we see the sunny handsome and gentle face, enough to make a fool of the flowers, but did not expect that such a serious suit bottom is still tendon meat, full of strength, double blessing.
Perhaps, this may be one of the reasons why the sales of the new Civic have not declined but have risen!
Conclusion: From "Farah Domain" to "Little Accord", we don't know what Civic has experienced, but one thing is for sure, the fan culture formed around the explosion, drift, and drag racing will quickly fade. People seem to prefer this kind of low-key power in luxury. 2022 has begun, and I hope that there will be more models of this kind of strength in the future, less pompous and more introverted.
