(March 10, 2016) TORRANCE, Calif. — Delivering a new level of style, sporty driving performance, technological sophistication and value, the all-new 2016 Honda Civic Coupe goes on sale on March 15 with a starting starting price of $19,050 for the Civic LX Coupe with manual transmission.

Following the highly successful introduction of the 2016 Civic Sedan, named 2016 North American Car of the Year, the Civic Coupe includes many of the same attributes in a more personal and enthusiast oriented two-door body style.

The 2016 Civic Coupe is available in three powertrain configurations: a 174-horsepower 1.5-liter DOHC turbo engine with CVT (EX and above), a 158-horsepower 2.0-liter i-VTEC paired with CVT (LX and LX-P) and the same 2.0-liter engine with a six-speed manual transmission (on LX trim).

EPA fuel economy ratings for the 2016 Civic Coupe are 31/41/35 mpg (city/highway/combined) for 1.5-liter turbo models with CVT, 30/41/34 mpg for 2.0-liter models with CVT and 26/38/31 mpg for the LX with 2.0-liter engine and manual transmission.

"This new Civic Coupe exemplifies Honda’s focus on fun-to-drive character with two powerful engine options and a chassis tuned specifically for driving fun," said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division. "As the second model in our sportiest and most ambitious Civic lineup ever, the coupe sets the bar for performance, refinement and connectivity in the compact coupe segment.”

Virtually everything about the 2016 Civic Coupe is new — all-new vehicle architecture, sporty and sophisticated new interior and exterior styling, a more spacious and high-quality cabin, two advanced new engines, and a host of new premium features and technologies. Further, with the addition of Honda Sensing safety and driver-assistive technologies on the Civic Touring Coupe and the first application of Honda turbo engine technology to EX and above trims, the 2016 Civic Coupe offers buyers a wider range of options than ever before, each a high-value proposition.

For the 2016 Civic Honda will roll out a new consumer website design on March 15. The one page vehicle experience has a responsive design to be fully functional on mobile devices and is focused to inspire, educate, and activate customers. This new design will be introduced initially on Civic but ultimately the pages for all Honda models will be upgraded. Customers can experience the new website design and view, build and price a 2016 Honda Civic Coupe at automobiles.honda.com/civic.
