The 2012 Civic Coupe is a next-generation expression of individuality.
Sleeker Than Most
A sporty new shape is just the start to the all-new 2012 Civic.
It's Okay to Stare
Drink it in. Details like 16-inch alloys and exciting new colors, it won't take too long to decide if this is the Civic for you.
A personal sanctuary, concert hall and mobile communications hub all-in-one.
i-MID, Your Way
The intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) quickly communicates vital info such as current mpg and audio track. And you can personalize its LCD screen with a pic of your choice.

The available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with voice recognition[1] now includes FM Traffic, a subscription-free service that alerts you to traffic conditions (EX and above).
Hands-on Experience
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®[2] makes calling on-the-go easier (EX and above).
iPod®-Ready
The USB Audio Interface[3] (LX and above) lets you bring your music library and play it through the audio system, and it will keep your iPod®[4] charged along the way.

i-MID: It's Personal.
You may know what kind of Civic matches your own style. Now comes the next step: getting personal with it. The 2012 Civic makes it a snap with the intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID), which sits front and center in the Civic's instrument panel (LX and above).
Photos
Nothing says "me" like the wallpaper on your computer. Now you can do the same in your Civic. Load an image of your pet, your mom or even one of yourself. We won't judge.
Info
The new i-MID is your go-to for every important tidbit of drive-related information. See the current song playing, current mpg and even turn-by-turn directions if you opt for the available Navigation system[1].
Bluetooth® Capability
The list of advanced i-MID functions is a long one, including Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®[2] for hands-free phone calls. The system pairs easily with your compatible phone, and is also ready for Bluetooth® Audio, so you can stream your music too.
Crystal Clear
Not only is the i-MID helpful and customizable, it's also pretty, thanks to its high-resolution color TFT LCD display-the same kind of technology found on LCD monitors and the latest smartphones.

Efficiency is the task. The Civic, your tool.
Just Put it in ECON
The Civic now gives you a quick and easy way to drive in the most frugal manner possible. Just push the ECON button[1]. The Civic engine and other power-using systems will then go into super-efficient mode to maximize your fuel efficiency.
Economy Coach
For an interactive approach to squeezing every mile out of a gallon, keep an eye on the blue and green bars on either side of the speedometer. That's the Honda Eco Assist™[1] feature, the same system found in our hybrid models. Keep it in the green, and you'll go farther. Or turn it off if you don't need the help.
The Bottom Line: High MPG[2]
All of the gas-saving technology in the new Civic may help you get an estimated 39 mpg on the highway[2].
Greener Thinking
Now, every 2012 Civic with an automatic transmission earns a PZEV (Partial-Zero-Emission Vehicle) rating in states that adhere to CARB standards[3].

It's all about choice, but not when it comes to safety: Every Civic features the same full array of safety systems. Standard.
Active Systems: Control
To help keep you on course and away from danger, Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®)[1] helps sense oversteer or understeer, and then adjusts brake pressure at each wheel and/or reduces engine power to help restore driver control.
Standard 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), help you maintain control during hard braking. Properly inflated tires are crucial for safe operation, so the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)[2] alerts the driver when a tire's pressure reaches a significantly low level.
Passive Systems: Protection
The Civic has been engineered to help protect you and your passengers when a frontal collision just cannot be avoided. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute frontal crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle.
Airbags
Standard front, front side and side curtain airbags help reduce the likelihood of injuries in a collision.
Honda's Safety Philosophy
Honda is committed to providing safety for everyone—that means crash protection not only for our own drivers and passengers, but also for the occupants of other vehicles, and injury mitigation for pedestrians. We are dedicated to identifying and implementing advanced designs and features that help enhance the safety of vehicles on the road. Learn more.
[1] VSA is not a substitute for safe driving. It cannot correct the vehicle's course in every situation or compensate for reckless driving. Control of the vehicle always remains with the driver.
[2] For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge. Do not rely solely on the monitor system. Please see your Honda dealer for details.

The Civic has always been environmentally focused. For 2012, even more so.
Warning: History Lesson Ahead
The Civic Coupe is a direct descendant of the 1975 Civic CVCC, which was the first vehicle to pass the emissions requirement of the Clean Air Act of 1970 without using a catalytic converter.
The Civic has come a long way since then, and now features technological achievements that are just as impressive.
Today's Civic
Today's Civic features a 1.8-liter, single overhead camshaft, aluminum-alloy i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine that provides exceptional fuel economy (28 city/39 hwy/32 combined mpg)[1].
Along with improved fuel efficiency, the 2012 Civic is also available as a Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle (PZEV) in states that adhere to CARB standards[3].
