Honda is all set to reintroduce the Civic nameplate in India with launch of the tenth-gen sedan on 7 March 2019. It makes a comeback six years after the eighth-gen Civic was discontinued in 2013. For the six years the Honda sedan was away from the market, the competition in the segment has grown fiercer with introduction latest models of cars like the Skoda Octavia, Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Corolla Altis. So, let’s compare the latest Civic to one of the best looking cars of the segment, the Elantra, in pics.
Exterior:
Front:
| |
Width: 1799mm | Width: 1800mm |
Both the mid-size sedans carry their respective family look on the front. Where the Civic gets the bull horn grille, the Elantra sports the cascading family grille. In our opinion, the CIvic has an edge over the Elantra here. |
Side:
| |
Length: 4656mm | Length: 4570mm |
Wheelbase: 2700mm | Wheelbase: 2700mm |
Both the sedans feature a coupe-like silhouette but Civic’s heavily raked rear windshield and extra length makes it more imposing than the Elantra. Both the sedans have an identical wheelbase. |
Rear:
| |
Height: 1433mm | Height: 1465mm |
Where the Hyundai Elantra looks elegant and more like a family sedan, the Civic’s rear end has ‘sporty’ written all over it. The heavily raked rear windshield and those boomerang tail lamps make the Civic look like an everyday sports car. |
Boot Space:
| |
Boot Space: 430 litres | Boot Space: 420 litres |
Wheels:
| |
The Civic will be available with two tyre size: While the lower variants will get 215/55R16, the higher variants will get 215/50/R17 | All variants of the Elantra are equipped with 205/60R16 tyres. |
Interior:
Dashboard:
| |
Both cars get leatherette upholstery. The Civic’s cabin is done in dual-tone beige black colour scheme while the Elantra gets an all-back theme. The all-black colour combination usually makes the cabin look sporty while the beige-black theme makes it look spacious. |

Rear Seats:
| |
Since both are mid-size sedans they should have a comfortable rear seat. However, where the Elantra comes with adjustable headrests for all three passengers, the CIvic gets only two. |
