Before the completely redesigned Honda Civic<\/a> arrives for the 2022 model year, the tenth-generation of the well-loved sedan is making a final tour of duty for 2021. But with one less option in the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2021 Civic, according to Honda, will no longer be offering a manual transmission, except for the hatchback that still comes with a stick-shift. The sedan will instead be equipped with a continuously variable transmission that was previously only offered as an $800 dollar option on the LX and Sport trims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that the starting price for the Civic will also increase. The base sedan now retails for $22,005, an increase of $1,050 from the current model year. Prices for the EX, EX-L, and Touring variants, meanwhile, go up by $250.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LX and Sport sedan models are equipped with a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-four engine, while the higher trims feature a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the hatchback, Honda is keeping the six-speed manual for the Sport and Sport Touring trim levels. Prices also increase by $250 across the board, putting the base LX model at $22,955 and the range-topping Sport Touring hatch at $30,155. All Civic hatchbacks will be equipped with the turbo 1.5-liter inline-four as standard equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from the manual transmission, the 2021 Civic is also losing its coupe body style option. This is part of Honda<\/a>‘s decision to scale down production in preparation for the arrival of the new-generation Civic in the spring of 2022.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
