Like the old version, the new Civic will also be a low-slung sedan, so you’ll sit close to the ground. The interiors are expected to be an all-black affair like on the global model, with features like a touchscreen infotainment system, sunroof, ventilated seats and climate control. Compared to the pre-facelift Civic, the only major change on the updated model is the addition of physical buttons for the infotainment system.
