Exterior
The exterior of the 2018 Honda Civic looks classy yet edgy mainly due to an aggressive front fascia that sets a unique style statement for the sedan. The front of the vehicle has the signature Honda Civic grille with a wide chrome accent that extends towards the headlights to make the sedan look sleek and stylish from front.
The designers at Honda have added a larger air dam below the grille and larger air intakes at the sides of the lower bumper to add to the aerodynamics of the vehicle and to improve the engine cooling function at high speeds. To complete the aggressive look of the sedan, designers have added slimmer and sleeker LED headlights that not only improve the look of the vehicle but also give it a very modern-day appeal.
The LED Daytime Running Headlights can be found on either sides of the air dam to improve the visibility of the vehicle. The side profile of the sedan has been sharpened to make it look sportier than ever before.
The front fenders are now more muscular than before with 16-inch wheels that are fitted with all-season tyres to further emphasise the long wheelbase and the sporty stance of the vehicle. There are options of 16-inch alloy wheels and 17-inch alloy wheels as well.
The beltline features a deep curve while a sharper character line runs from the front fenders to all the way back towards the taillights for a stylish appeal. The rear of the vehicle has unique “C” shaped LED taillights that standout and leave a strong impression on the onlookers.
The exterior of the 2018 Honda Civic is available in Cosmic Blue Metallic, Aegean Blue Metallic, Burgundy Night Pearl, Rallye Red, Crystal Black Pearl, Modern Steel Metallic, Lunar Silver Metallic, and White Orchid Pearl and Taffeta White colors.
