Finally, Honda has made things official about the new Civic. Last night, the company revealed the variants, price, and booking information of the Honda Civic 2022. And, honestly, we are still in shock. Let’s break down everything we know about the car of the year.
Variants
The new Civic is coming in three variants:
- Honda Civic 1.5L Turbo M-CVT
- Honda Civic Oriel 1.5L Turbo M-CVT
- Honda Civic RS 1.5L Turbo LL-CVT
As you can see, there are no more 1.8-litre nor manual transmission options in Civic. All three variants of Honda Civic are powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine. But what is the deal with M-CVT and LL-CVT?
The two CVT versions have slightly different gearing ratios and come with different engine sizes. Honda is offering the lower 2.0L Civic variant with M-CVT and the top 1.5L Civic variant with LL-CVT in the US market. Not sure what’s going on here with the Pakistani variants.
“Tentative” Prices
Coming to the full price of the new Civic, all three variants have crossed Rs. 5 million. We have
- Base Civic 1.5L Turbo M-CVT variant at Rs. 51 lacs
- Mid Civic Oriel 1.5L Turbo M-CVT at Rs. 54 lacs
- Top Civic RS 1.5L Turbo LL-CVT at Rs. 61.5 lacs
Yeah, no kidding! These are the actual prices of the all-new Honda Civic. And guess what? Honda says the prices are “tentative,” which means the company can still play around with the prices. Classic Honda!
Booking Price
Honda has started the bookings for Civic 2022 at a partial booking price of Rs. 1,200,000 for all variants.
The company has asked customers to “Kindly make payment (PO/DD) only in favor of Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) Limited/account of customer name and visit the nearest Honda 3S dealership for further booking details.”
There are many things to rant about the new Honda Civic. But let’s talk about the variants for now. What are the differences between these three variants? Why the 5 million+ price tags? How do we know if the upper variant is worth the extra million? Anybody got any ideas? Please share in the comments.
