Honda's compact-class four-door sedans and two-door notchback coupes display futuristic styling for a new generation of designs in 2006. Note the slick aerodynamic package with ultra-fast windshield rake, curt overhangs front and rear, and minimal gaps between tires and fenders. A new arrangement for the five-seat cabin creates more room for passenger and more on-board safety systems.
A new 1.8-liter four-in-line i-VTEC engine for Civic with electronic drive-by-wire throttle increases power and torque as well as fuel efficiency. It produces 140 hp for 40 mpg fuel economy and achieves an emission classification of LEV-II ULEV in all 50 states. A five-speed manual transmission is standard but a five-speed electronic automatic is available.
The standard safety gear includes side air bags for front riders, curtain-style side air bags concealed in headliners, active head restraints on seats and an anti-lock brake system (ABS) with electronic brake force distribution (EBD).
