Honda has unveiled the upgraded Civic for Asia. The restyling program is generally the same as in America. At the same time, in Japan, for example, the model also got a «warmed up» version, and it was distinguished not only by its decor.
The standard restyled Honda Civic family debuted in the United States back in May, and in July a sports sedan with the Si prefix was introduced there. Now the brand has declassified an updated model intended for the Asian region. Moreover, Honda shared details about two versions at once — for Thailand and Japan. Note that in the first country, the Civic comes exclusively as a sedan, while in the Japanese market, on the contrary, there is only a hatchback.

The RS version stands apart. In Thailand, this configuration was available before, and it differs from the regular sedan in its «sporty» accents: for example, the trunk lid of the local Civic RS is adorned with a black spoiler, and the interior has a red insert and similarly colored stitching. For Japan, the RS version is new, and it differs not only in decor. Thus, the Japanese «R-eska» has a reconfigured suspension, and only this version now has a six-speed manual, and the gearbox is new — with improved response.

If in the States the standard Civic after the restyling lost 1.5 turbo four (but the Civic Si retained the turbo engine), but in Asia it was left. On the Thai sedan, the engine produces 178 hp, on the Japanese hatchback — 182 hp, the engine is combined with a variator. In Thailand and Japan, you can still buy a hybrid Civic, the e: HEV installation includes a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor, the total output is 184 hp. But the Civic RS hatchback is only available with a 1.5T.
