[UPDATING] 2016 Honda Civic – Leaked Images Ahead of Launch in Pakistan!
Update: This Post Will be Updated As new Leaked Images Emerge! Look for them at the end of the postAbout 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.

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

Chrome front grille, fog lights and daylight running lamps (DRLs)
