Generation 2 (1980 – 1983)įor its second-generation, the Civic enjoyed a complete overhaul. Well on its way towards becoming one of the best-selling cars of all time. In 1975, the Civic saw a mild performance upgrade with the addition of a 53-HP CVCC engine, and by the end of its first-generation, the Civic was up to 63-HP. For this and many other reasons, the Civic delivered notable sales figures in its first year (over 32,500 units sold). Due to the 1973 oil crisis, buyers desperately needed a low-priced, fuel-efficient car that would last.
Under the hood was a 1,169cc, four-cylinder engine churning out an impressive 50-HP. The first-gen Civic was available as either a 2-door coupe or a 3- or 5-door door hatchback. “It will get you where you’re going” - that was the original slogan given to the Civic. Let’s now take a look at the Civics rise to fame - by reviewing the generational changes along the way. With almost 35,000 units sold in August of this year alone. At the time of writing (September 2019), the Honda Civic stands as the #4 car sold in the US. While it started as a subcompact, it has since grown to become a well-respected member of the compact segment. Since then, the Civic has built a name for itself for being reliable, affordable, and fuel-efficient.
The Honda Civic first entered the US car market in 1972 as a 1973 model year.
