Expected to debut in autumn of 2010, the 2011 Honda Civic is the eighth generation of the blockbuster best-selling line. Not many changes are expected for 2011, although Honda may offer a special performance edition and a few new exterior colors. Buyers can expect the same powertrain and trim options for 2011. Read on for a preliminary auto review of the 2011 Honda Civic.
SpecificationsHere are the known specs for the 2011 Honda Civic:
PricingNo specific pricing information has been released, but the 2011 Civic should start at just over USD$16,000 and range up to USD $28,000 for the hybrid version. No invoice information is available at this time.

SuspensionThe Si Civic has a sport-tuned suspension
WarrantyThree-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and five years of corrosion protection
Exterior FeaturesEventually, Honda is expected to mold the Civic to look more like its futuristic-looking counterparts sold in foreign markets. For the 2011 Civic, however, styling changes are unlikely. Honda will probably offer a few new body colors to distinguish the 2011 from the previous model, but other than that, the car will remain unchanged. The 2011 Honda Civic is expected to be the last model released before a complete design overhaul. See our gallery of photos to check out how the new Civic will look.
Interior FeaturesCurrently, no information is available on the interior of the 2011 Honda Civic. Once we complete a full car review of the new Civic, we’ll have additional details. Honda will likely at least revise its much-maligned optional navigation system, which is overly complex and hard to read on the 2010 Civic.
PerformanceDon’t expect many changes in performance on the 2011 Honda Civic. Powertrains, chassis, and suspensions will stay the same, so handling, braking, and acceleration likely will as well. One industry rumor is that Honda will unveil a special high-performance edition of the Civic for 2011, known as the Type R, which has 220 horsepower and is currently only offered in Japan and Europe.
