[UPDATING] 2016 Honda Civic – Leaked Images Ahead of Launch in Pakistan!
About forty days back, Honda Atlas started pre-booking the 2016 Honda Civic, initially at a partial payment of PKR 1million, which was then increased to 50% of the tentative pricing without any statement regarding the equipment which would make its way to both the announced variants. Despite the confusion around the new Civic, according to multiple insiders, the pre-booking has proven immensely successful for Honda Atlas.

Now I am excited to report that, the 2016 Honda Civic, or if I must say, the most awaited car of Pakistan which went up for pre-bookings last month is finally nearing its official unveil. Honda Atlas have dispatched the display units of the to be unveiled Civic to dealers nationwide. And thanks to a fellow PakWheeler, who got hold of the first and so far the only up-close pictures of 2016 Honda Civic in Pakistan, we can now safely say that Civic 2016 should finally hit the showroom floors this month.
In addition to confirming that the unveil is around the corner, these photos give us the most detailed look of the PKDM 2016 Honda Civic which address almost every equipment related query we had regarding the new Civic.

Have a look: Pakistani 2016 Honda Civic Speculation Round-up!
While some of these exterior features were confirmed by leaked factory images on the social media, the interior remained under covers. Until now, as now we have a complete look of what will come standard on the 2016 PKDM Civic, the images confirm;
Rear A/C Vents
Full-Size Center Console which despite looking like the one on the USDM Civic has an old cut out, which I think has been done to make room for the “rumored rear entertainment display.”
Electronic Parking Brake
Steering Switches for Multimedia and Cruise Control along with the Push Start Button are present while Bluetooth Control Buttons and Leather Stitching on the steering wheel remain absent
Single Zone Climate Control
The speedometer confirmed to be digital which puts an end to the debate of whether or not we’ll get the Graphical Information Cluster in the Pakistani model
The leaked pictures confirm the following features of Civic 1.8-liter VTI Oriel
Chrome front grille, fog lights and daylight running lamps (DRLs)
16-inch Alloy Rims with wheel dimensions of (215/55 R16)
Stickers on the rear window confirm ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist)
As far as interior is concerned, the following equipment made its way;
1) Steering Switches for audio control
2) Steering Switches for cruise control
3) Single zone climate control system on dashboard
4) Digital speedometer
5) Push start button (which can be seen in the video at the end of this post and on the teaser image released by Honda Atlas)
While the following has been left out;
1) Leather stitching on steering wheel
2) Bluetooth control on steering wheel
3) Dual zone climate control system on dashboard
4) Colored speedometer
5) Paddle shifters (which are present on the VTEC Turbo variant of the new PKDM Civic)

A video showing Honda Atlas Civic 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo
Here is a video showing the 2016 Honda Civic 1.8-liter VTI Oriel land at a dealership in Lahore! (Video’s commentator also confirms sunroof on VTI Oriel)
General TIRES on a 3MILLLLLION++ Car!!!! Not even YOKOHAMA like in Good Days!!! :'(
Atlas’s Greed@it’s BEST (Y)
Well It’s not the FAULT of Atlas, It’s the FAULT of the Buyers who will Continuously Busy whatever Junk They’ll sell us!!! 🙁 (Akhir Show Vi Tay MArrni Aey Sarkarr)
Wailay Pakistanio k liye latest entertainment lol Pakwheels thread on 10th gen civic is a good example of that.
Looks pretty good. glad to see VSA and key less entry/start feature coming in and finally a bigger rims size.
The rims look el cheapo.
The tyres have a design on the sidewall which will accommodate a lot of mud, the tyres will always look dirty. Nexen N2000 also had a similar problem despite being expensive and having a beautiful tread pattern.
There is no Push Start Button though, which is the Main Beauty of Smart Keyless, The Ordinary Keyless can be also got in the Market. It just have no Use, & In this Price with this less Function it’s OVER-Rated!! :/
There is push start button it can be clearly seen in the picture
Its simple, drive slowly on muddy roads.
Its simple, drive slowly on muddy roads.
oh well better than nothing I guess 🙂
I’d rather spend the 3.0 M they r asking on buying myself a used Bimmer or Merc (LIGHT YEARS AHEAD IN ALL RESPECTS!)
Tyres are… WHAT?!!?
Why are they showcasing the Red one?! Want to convince us that its a SOOPER race car?
Whats the big deal on dual exhaust? Serves what purpose? Oh yeah Sooper car hay jee 😛
For practical purposes should have mentioned if it has wireless charging as in US models thats an awesome and practical add on I would appreciate over the non functional exhaust.
The dual exhausts of the 2016 Civic VTEC Turbo are functional… the exhaust is divided to the two! If they wanted to market it as a super car then they would have put bumper cut outs like the ones you see on Mark X and Civic Reborn both if which have non functional dual exhausts! And for the red colour they seem to market the 1.5 Turbo as anew aggressive car mostly for the shauqeen awaam which is why all turbos sent to dealers are in red while 1.8 vtI have been sent in White….. aur agar woh SOOPER car keh kay bhi bechna chaahtay hain to jayz hai there is no car in this price range in Pakistan which produces 173bhp and Civic VTEC Turbo does my friend…. Judge the facts and take a look at the Pakistani Market before making a judgement
it is a compulsion by govt on all pakistani car assemblers to install General Tyres…..Atlas should not be blamed for this….
Pakistan main seedhi chargin hoti nahin and you are asking for wireless charging dock in Civic 😀 😀
just awesome in its class and clearly won over the other local competitors.
lowest spec merc C class or bmw 3 series and 6 years old with 100,000 km mileage. Yeah I should prefer that over this one.
My dearest t if u look carefully u can find a mid 50K car easily. I drive a 1991 W124 E Class. Still on its genuine engine + gear box. NOT AN INCH OF RUST, beleive me yr Civic will NOT serve u this well … 🙂
There is no compulsion. It is part of localization effort, and tyres are rather easy to manufacture compared to some other plastic, electronic or some metal parts. That’s all.
Competitors?
Which competitors?
Does Pakistani auto industry have any competition?
As far as i see the speed meter it is not as US Civic Brand has. Pakistani hon or 2numbri na kariain to Rotiee k say Hazam karain gay. i Hope the Speed meter i saw is not real as it is a complete lcd panel with digital view….
Yeh meter aur countries mein bhi aaya hai aur US kay base model mein bhi yehi meter hai
Guest again you said it right…. And muizz true talking about competitors, Grande is no match to Oriel jo sirf 1 lac expensive hai
Dear friend, mein nay Pakistan ke market daykh kr he is ko Sooper car wannabe but are you seriously calling it that?! I was talking about Atlas projecting it to the people as one though they themselves never claimed directly. They are peddling to the instinct and obviously there are people ready to accept that… yeah talking about you :/ … There are cars in Pakistan with the power bracket and price range, just not new ones. Know your facts. THE END 😉
