Historical Milestone for the Honda Civic

The Honda Civic has always been a defining member of the brand’s lineup. In July, the legendary vehicle is celebrating a significant milestone. For 50 years, the Civic has been providing an efficient, yet energetic hatchback or sedan option for everyday driving needs globally. Originally made as a hatchback in Japan in 1972, the United States got its introduction to the excellent small car option in 1973. Now, many mid-Michigan drivers have gotten to experience the reliable performance of a modern Civic. Thelen Honda in Bay City, MI, is proud to be a trusted destination for local Honda customers.

The Civic & Its Historic Lineage

Consistent Performance  During its first 50 years on global roads, the Honda Civic has always kept up with the increasing demands for performance. When someone purchases a new Civic, they can be confident they are behind the wheel of a vehicle that delivers considerable everyday performance. The Civic has always been a nimble option for drivers as well, making navigating their surroundings an enjoyable experience. 

Continual Top Interior Quality – Not only is the Honda Civic a testament to accessible performance, but the interior of the vehicle has always maintained a comfortable and modern feel. Spacious cabins ensure that everyone in the sedan or hatchback has plenty of legroom to comfortably cruise around in. Modern 2022 Honda Civic models are equipped with the entertaining and convenient infotainment applications that you and your family will love to have on every trip.

Future Ingenuity – Honda is continuing to make sure that the Civic remains its top-selling model. Pushing its design and other elements to meet upcoming driver needs such as speed and interactivity, the Civic will remain a flagship member of the Honda family. This includes the upcoming 2023 Honda Civic R, which will be the most powerful iteration of the vehicle yet. A new hybrid version of the Civic will also be released in the future.
