Honda Canada sells two-millionth Civic
On May 23, Honda announced the retail sale of the two-millionth Honda Civic in Canada since the nameplate’s introduction in 1973.
As the best-selling passenger car in Canada the past 19 consecutive years, Civic is a key pillar to Honda Canada’s success and accounts for nearly 40 per cent of the brand’s annual sales.
The Honda Civic is built at the company’s manufacturing facilities in Alliston, ON, for Canadians, by Canadians.
The tenth and latest generation Civic represents one of the most comprehensive and ambitious new-model developments ever undertaken by Honda.
It required an unprecedented commitment of R&D resources and Honda engineering prowess. The result is a perfect marriage of styling, performance and packaging that has continued to build on the model’s iconic status.
Civic is Honda’s longest-running automotive nameplate and its largest selling model globally.
Its Canadian introduction came in 1973, when Civic was heralded for its refined driving dynamics, quality construction and world-class fuel efficiency.
The revolutionary CVCC (Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion) engine debuted in Civic and established Honda’s place in history as a leader in powertrain innovation. Over the course of ten generations, the Civic has continuously evolved to meet the changing needs of Honda customers in North America and around the world, and has consistently set the bar for fuel efficiency, driving performance and design innovation in an affordable compact-class vehicle.
