Next week, the coupe version of the 2016 Civic goes on sale nationwide. Offering an ideal combination of style, performance, and technology, the coupe follows in the highly successful footsteps of the Civic Sedan which recently earned the title of 2016 North American Car of the Year.

"This new Civic Coupe exemplifies Honda’s focus on fun-to-drive character with two powerful engine options and a chassis tuned specifically for driving fun," said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division, in a recent press release. "As the second model in our sportiest and most ambitious Civic lineup ever, the coupe sets the bar for performance, refinement and connectivity in the compact coupe segment.”

In addition to refined interior and exterior styling, and a host of premium features and technologies, the 2016 Civic Coupe is available in three powertrain configurations: a 174-horsepower 1.5-liter DOHC turbo engine with CVT, a 158-horsepower 2.0-liter i-VTEC paired with CVT, and the same 2.0-liter engine with a six-speed manual transmission.

Delivering superior driving comfort and dynamic handling, the 2016 Civic Coupe goes on sale March 15.
