A compact sedan should be a great commuter vehicle. That is to say that where other vehicles exist for pulling your boat or for fording rivers, the 2022 Honda Civic has been engineered to make road trips, short or long, as effortless as possible for you and your passengers. Here are a few of the ways that the Civic makes that happen. 1.      A Pleasant Interior While the Civic is still compact enough for narrow spaces, any passengers will find the interior straightforward and roomy, with glass areas expanded and about 37 inches of legroom in the rear. A Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control System is optional, as are heated front seats and a power moonroof.   The standard 4-speaker sound system is upgraded to either an 8-speaker system or a 12-speaker Bose Premium Sound System. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are integrated on all trims, as is a 7-inch color touchscreen that's present on all trims except the Touring, which gets a 9-inch screen. more 2.      Flexible Storage The Civic has the storage space you want for a trip to the supermarket or the airport, with almost 15 cubic feet available in the trunk. If you need to transport something more atypical, you can fold down the rear seat, either as a unit or in a 60/40 split, depending on the trim. 3.      Confident Handling The Civic is equally competent while weaving through urban streets or cruising economically on the highway. The car is fuel-efficient but with power available for overtaking thanks to a 2.0L engine installed in the base trims upgraded to a 1.5L turbocharged engine in the upper trims, where the total horsepower reaches 180.   It feels easy to maneuver the 2022 Civic because it's been engineered to be nimble. The Multi-Link Rear Suspension and MacPherson Strut Front Suspension provide smooth handling when cornering, and the Continuously Variable Transmission is responsive. A clean and customizable Driver Information Interface screen shows you the digital gauges you need at a glance. 4.      Assured Style The updated look of the sedan is confident and composed, with clean lines and an assertive grille without being garish. Optionally, you can accent the look with touches like a chrome exhaust finisher and 17-inch or 18-inch wheels with gloss inserts. 5.      Impressive Standard Technology Features The new Civic comes standard with a great selection of safety and driver-assistive technologies. Some features assist with everyday tasks, such as the Auto High-Beam Headlights, but others are focused more directly on safety.   Every trim comes with the Honda Sensing Suite, which provides technologies like forwarding Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning, among others, that work with the driver to help avoid risky situations.   Whether coasting down the highway or negotiating gridlock, the Honda Civic remains relaxed and capable. It is a car that manages to do its job without introducing any shortcomings. It's quick, it's economical, and it's comfortable.   There are many reasons that the Honda Civic is consistently one of the top choices among car buyers in Bowie, MD.
