2014 Honda Civic launched, features a new transmission & infotainment system

Honda has officially announced the pricing for the 2014 Civic and Civic Coupe for US markets. The 2014 Civic and Civic Coupe will come with a starting price of $18,190 and $18,390 respectively.

Currently available on sale, the updated models can be fitted with a new continuously variable transmission which promises to deliver quicker and smoother acceleration. The CVT also enables the models to have an EPA fuel economy rating of 30 mpg city / 39 mpg highway / 33 mpg combined which is a minor improvement of 2 mpg city and 1 mpg combined.

Talking about styling changes, the sedan remains unchanged while the coupe receives some modifications that include modified bumpers, a revised grille, new front fenders, revised mirrors and updated head- and taillights.

Inside the cabin, the Civic gains a new Honda Display Audio system with HondaLink technology. It features a 7-inch touchscreen display, Siri Eyes Free Integration and an all-new application-based HondaLink platform. The latter change enables the model to run four new apps that can provide everything ranging from GPS navigation to local weather reports.
