Just look at the new 2021 Vezel design that PI bring in which AD still slowly not bringing in yet vs 2021 KIA Sportage. The answer is very obvious already.

Think its safe to say this civic will struggle to sell in the face of current competition, its neither value for money against korean and japanese rivals ( hyundai avante/ kia cerato, mazda 3, toyota corolla altis) or powerful enough for its price tag vs entry level conti's like skoda octavia Or Kah motor just bite the bullet and bring it original tune and leave Civic as CAT B car, to accompany the Accord. CAT A just let the honda city and vezel/HRV take that slot The new accord is not selling well also. Seriously speaking I don’t even see much Honda Accord on the road, so far I saw less than 10, who will buy at that kind of price? I rather buy the new FL 2021 Camry from either AD which is MIT or PI MIJ which there is quite a lot on the road. I would say they can safely remove Accord on their product list and nobody will notice it anyway. This new MIT Civic for this price and equipment, take a step back then you look at the road now, mostly Hyundai Avante S trim or Elite trim which include more things that the more expensive Civic don’t offer, then we also have the new FL 2021 KIA K3 GT-Line that have everything included that is lesser than $120K. Maybe Civic fan appreciate this 2021 AD civic or just go for PI MIJ Civic Hatchback that have the proper 1.5T engine and higher trim option with full LED lights, if not I don’t see how they can compete in terms of price, equipment, design with AVANTE and K3. I also saw a few PI 2021 Honda Vezel, the front is very polarising due to its flat front grill and Kah Motors haven’t even start selling while more and more PI FL vezel on the road. Idk what is Honda AD Kah Motors logic and thinking, even same for Toyota AD BM, the FL 2020 Toyota Corolla Altis is not as much on the road these days, what I notice is I see AVANTE everywhere. 🤣 Edited October 3, 2021 by Fellows 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see their higher spec for the new avante and new cerato, even the higher spec of altis also lose. People who buy jap car like civic and altis is for the sake of buying the brand?! Lol.

The side silhouette feels a bit sleeker, almost like they've been modelling the BM 3 series look. The front looks very un-honda-ish as they were looking for a clean minimalist look which I think is nice and not messed up like the new Jazz. I appreciate the new modern interior design and spacious backseats/boot for a C segment car and don't mind the engine config (I'm a new driver, just need a BnB). But my qualms is with the pricing. I would pull the trigger if it was in the mid 110k range. Kah must be really really confident of the Honda brand to make such a generous markup. For a simple driver I'll rather look at the Korean cars, Mazdas in the 100s range or the entry contis (Skoda, Seat) in the 120s range (Cat B). At this price point, they will lose a lot of customers to avante. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winningeleven 4th Gear October 4, 2021 Share October 4, 2021 Honda Civic review from Strait times did mention that a higher power civic may avaliable next year. Hopefully it is the hatchback version which is the same as Honda jdm that is 1.5 turbo 180bhp and come with both CVT and manual option. All the while. I always find the hatchback civic version is much nicer. From gen 9, gen 10 and the current gen 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
