The 2019 Honda Civic has been finally launched In India at a starting price of Rs. 17.70 lakh going up to Rs. 22.30 lakh, all prices ex-showroom, India. The civic brand has returned to India after over seven years in its 10th generation after skipping the 9th altogether. The new Honda Civic has been launched in both petrol and diesel iterations considering that the previous Civic had lost its sheen to an extent without the diesel engine which still is in demand. The diesel is the new 1.6-litre unit sourced from the 2018 CR-V which and the petrol is the same tried and tested 1.8-litre. However, the Civic has its own limitations. For starters, the petrol engine is only available with a CVT gearbox as standard and the diesel is mated to a six-speed manual transmission as standard and with both the engines, people look for either option as well. Then, there are three variants for petrol and diesel is available only in two variants. And here the competitors get an edge.
