2019 Honda Civic: Extensive Available Safety Features

If there’s one thing the Honda Civic is engineered for, it’s a safe and comfortable drive. This sedan is built with a full standard Honda Sensing® suite, providing drivers with driver assistance at all times.

Among the standard features is an Adaptive Cruise Control system with Low-Speed Follow. This feature allows you to use radar to set a distance between you and a car ahead of you. Your car will then manage your speed to keep up with traffic while maintaining that safe distance between the car you’re following.

Also standard among all trims of this vehicle is a Lane Keeping Assist System. If you find yourself drifting towards the edge of your lane, the Honda Civic will make corrections to your steering to ensure that you always remain in your lane.

Comfortable Acceleration

Another aspect of the 2019 Honda Civic that earns it the 2019 KBB Best Compact Car Award is its smooth performance that makes it ideal for any commuter.¹ This sedan offers a compact 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engine with 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. Best of all, this engine gives us an EPA-estimated 30 city MPG and 38 highway MPG.²

For drivers who enjoy a bit of extra performance from their car, they can make use of the available 1.5L turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine. With up to 174 horsepower, 162 lb-ft of torque, and an EPA-estimated 32 city MPG and 42 highway MPG, you’ll enjoy a comfortable and sporty drive.²

The smooth acceleration and high fuel economy are due in part to the finely engineered Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). This unique transmission system removes gears entirely in favor of a belt system to gives you the ideal shift point for lower fuel consumption and easy revving.
