Honda reveals new Civic to be built in Alliston

May 7, 2021   ·   0 Comments

After a recent announcement that the new 2022 Honda Civic will go into mass production at its Alliston manufacturing plant, Honda released the details of the new 11th generation version of the popular car.

The Civic is Honda’s longest-running automotive nameplate and is the best-selling car in Canada for 23 straight years.

Canadians have purchased more than 2.2 million Civics since 1973.

The Civic is also the number one selling model in North America for first-time buyers and is particularly popular with younger drivers.

“Civic has been Canada’s car for decades,” said Dave Jamieson, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Honda Canada. “It’s the best-selling car in Canada for 23 years and the sedan is built at our Honda of Canada Mfg. facilities in Alliston. We’re confident the all-new 11th generation Honda Civic will continue to be popular with Canadians with its best-in-class features, class-leading performance and new, modern and sporty styling.”

The new 2022 model was finally revealed on April 28.

The new model has received a whole new re-design that includes an exterior make-over and added new interior features.

On the outside, the new model has had some styling cues that provided a sportier appearance which includes a longer looking hood that gives the vehicle a new silhouette.

The new car also uses LED lighting extensively and includes headlights, daytime running lights, and parking lights.

Inside, the new Civic has been engineered to provide ample headroom and legroom for passengers.

This model has more technology than any previous model including a huge 10.2-inch full colour display on the main console on the touring model.

The new model is good news for the Alliston Honda plant which, along with other major North American auto manufacturers, had to shut down for several weeks due to a shortage of micro-chips that caused problems in the industry across North America.

The new 2022 Honda Civic is expected to start arriving at dealerships this summer.
