Honda has announced US pricing for the 2016 Civic Coupe, confirming a starting price of $19,050 before destination charges. Sales begin on 15 March, with the new model bringing updated styling, upgraded equipment and a revised engine line-up.
Unveiled at the previous year's Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2016 Civic Coupe follows the tenth-generation Civic Sedan onto the US market. The Coupe is distinguished by a more aggressive exterior, with projector-beam headlights, a sloping roofline and C-shaped LED tail lights. Honda has also focused on improving interior quality, adding softer plastics and increasing rear legroom by around five inches compared to the outgoing model.
Trim levels and equipment
The entry-level LX trim is fitted with a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque. It comes as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox, with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) available as an option. Standard equipment includes automatic climate control, power windows and locks, a rearview camera, a four-speaker audio system and a five-inch infotainment display.
The LX-P trim, also powered by the 2.0-litre engine, is offered only with the CVT. Moving up to the EX brings a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine developing 174 hp and 162 lb-ft, paired exclusively with the CVT. The EX adds a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a more advanced audio system.
- Leather upholstery and heated front seats are available on higher trims
- Touring model adds navigation and premium audio
- All models include a rearview camera as standard

Buyers can choose between the 2.0-litre naturally aspirated engine and the 1.5-litre turbocharged unit, depending on trim. The manual gearbox is limited to the base LX, while all other versions are CVT-only. The turbo engine is positioned as the more premium choice, reserved for EX and Touring specifications.
