(April 20, 2011) NEW YORK — The entire 2012 Honda Civic lineup made its highly anticipated world debut today at the 2011 New York International Auto Show.

In addition to debuting in New York, the Civic went on-sale today at Honda dealerships nationwide. The base model Civic DX Coupe manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) starts at $15,605, which is unchanged from the outgoing model.

This value-oriented pricing continues across the lineup with navigation-equipped models priced less than the previous-generation model.

The conventional gasoline-powered Civic sedan and Civic coupe, high-performance Civic Si coupe, gasoline-electric Civic Hybrid, Civic Natural Gas and Civic HF, an all-new high fuel economy model are being shown publicly for the first time.

"The all-new Civic builds on the popularity of the previous generation with a complete technology makeover, higher level of refinement and style while improving its position as an excellent value," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda Motor Co. "The Civic offers the most diverse model lineup in the industry to best meet the needs and preferences of individual customers."



For 2012, all existing Civic models achieve higher EPA fuel-economy ratings compared to the 2011 models, up by as much as 8 percent on the highway in Civic sedans and coupes equipped with automatic transmissions.

The Civic Hybrid achieves an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 44 mpg city, 44 mpg highway and 44 mpg city/highway combined, making it the most fuel-efficient sedan currently available in the U.S.

Additionally, an entirely new model, the Civic HF, debuts as a value-oriented, high fuel-economy sedan with an EPA estimated highway fuel economy rating of 41 mpg, the highest for a conventional, gasoline-powered vehicle with an automatic transmission.
