Whats up my friends? It's Edward Tomilloso, Your Honda Man internet sales manager here at Honda of
-
Santa Maria and today I have the 2016 and the 2015 Honda Civics. let me show
-
you what they changed for this new generation so stay tuned
-
so what I wanted to do with this video is bounced around between the 15 and 16
-
so that you could see the different features that were changed for the 2016
-
model. The 2016 model is all new and all different from the chassis to the engine
-
to the technology so it's not really exact comparison but if you are
-
considering the 2015 or the 16 in terms of purchasing one hopefully this video
-
helps you make that decision. so the outgoing ninth generation has been a
-
really great seller for Honda but it didn't give the buyers what the Civic
-
used to in terms of this is a car that we aspire to get. it's basically been
-
top-selling commuter car this whole time it didn't really light a fire under its
-
consumers but it still served its purpose with great gas mileage great
-
safety altogether a great buy. for this video I pulled out the 2015 Honda Civic
-
EXL and the 2016 Honda Civic Touring model. both of these are respectively the
-
top of the line and the only thing that this one doesn't have would be the
-
navigation. both of them are in the modern steel metallic so hopefully again
-
if the color is one of your buying motives, hopefully seeing this car in the
-
sunlight helps you out. the sticker price on the 2016 birth of the 2015
-
essentially went up about $150 if you're looking at the LX The EX VS
-
the EX but where it changes is the top of the line trim top of the line trim
-
for the 2015 model is at 25 160 versus the top trim on the 2016 goes all the
-
way to 27 3 and hopefully this will show you why that's still a great value for
-
the 2016 model
-
speaking of price at this current time there are great deals on the 2015 still
-
to be had
-
so again hopefully this helps you make the best purchasing decision knowing
-
exactly what you get for your hard-earned money to lick it off with
-
the styling the styling on the 2016 model has been designed to be more
-
dynamic even when it's standing still it does look like it's moving a lot of
-
angles lot of 45 degree angles border lines that draw your eye around the car
-
the 2015 model not so much it was more of a rounded type of design really
-
subdued in terms of the lines on the vehicle when you look at the bottom of
-
the car we do have a sweeping line they did keep that in the 2016 the biggest
-
part of the 2016 that you'll notice that's different from the 2015 is the
-
roofline the roofline really draws your eye from the front to the back
-
2016 has more of a wedge-shaped vs almost a teardrop shape for the 2015
-
model so again
-
roofline is the biggest thing that changed the 2016 almost looks like it's
-
a hatchback does he have reminders of the Honda Crosstour if you're familiar
-
with that car and it did draw some inspiration from the 2016 Honda Accord
-
in terms of the front so now into a little bit of finer details on the
-
styling this Croma line on at the 2016 has been extended above the headlights I
-
really like that look it's cleaner and on the 2015 the chroma wyan actually
-
stops at the insides of the headlights headlight they are led look headlights
-
on the Touring model on the 2016 model the lower trams will give you projector
-
halogen light moving down on all trim levels you will get LED daytime running
-
lights which was not available on
-
any trim level on the 2015 model moving down you do have a redesigned lower
-
fascia again the whole cars redesigns I don't need to say that anymore but you
-
do have fog lights as well on this car I do wish that they were the LED fog
-
lights just like the 2016 Honda Accords but I won't bring them too much on that
-
going into a little bit more finer details on the 2016 versus the 1500
-
civic the Touring model now has chrome door handles that was not available on
-
any trim level on the 2015 models and other small detail is the lane watch
-
camera this one was designed more to form fit the side mirror versus the 2015
-
a lot of reviewers had said it looks like they just took a camera and put it
-
onto the side there in the 2016 model they also added turn signal indicators
-
which was not available on the 2015 and they also kept the same wheel size for
-
the higher trims they're all 17 inch alloy wheels and they still have that
-
black finish however this is a new all-new design for the 2016 Honda Civic
-
specifically along the lines of styling when you look at the 2016 versus the
-
2015 you really get a more dynamic feel on the 2016 Honda Civic on the 2015 it
-
is more subdued other than the chrome line that runs across the back if you
-
talk about chrome
-
16 is more subdued in that nature but overall you get more angles on the 2016
-
you get more of those 45 degree angle that I was talking about and you also
-
get Ltd taillights on the 2016 model and just overall when you look at both of
-
the vehicles side-by-side you will just the just more dynamics on the 2016 model
-
so if you're not going for too much flash the 15 is still a great choice
-
when you're behind a 2016 model you definitely know it's a signature style
-
for Honda going along the top you still have a lip spoiler on the top trim which
-
the 2015 did not but fuck dimensions for the 2016 model versus the 2015 model the
-
16 has been lowered by one inch it's been made longer by three inches and
-
it's been made wider by two inches how that affects style is you do get more of
-
an aggressive look on the 2016 the 2015 had a wider wheel gap though this does
-
affect style as well as performance seeking a performance on to step up
-
their game in terms of performance on the 2016 Honda Civic the outgoing ninth
-
generation had a 1.8 liter engine that's naturally aspirated cranked out a
-
hundred and forty-three horsepower and it is still paired with the CVT on the
-
2016 model they now have an available
-
1.5 liter engine that is turbocharged that will crank out a hundred and
-
seventy-four horsepower so that's 31 horsepower greater than the outgoing
-
model but all that horsepower does not mean that it's less fuel-efficient this
-
one actually get 42 miles per gallon on the highway 31 in the city the outgoing
-
model get 39 miles per gallon on the highway and 30 in the city so it's up
-
three miles per gallon on the highway and up one mile per gallon in the city
-
we have more horsepower how cool is that
-
speaking of call one of them that they pulled off the record on the 2006 Honda
-
Civic is remote start pushing that button and
-
car starts right up now you hop into the car hit the push start button and off
-
you go I did that same exact thing in my other videos so if you want to see a
-
full detailed review on just the 2016 Honda Civic touring we're gonna put a
-
link up here and you can check that out in the open in new window for putting
-
that a patient and the description as well if you wanna video just focus on
-
that one
-
which by the way if you haven't subscribed do it now we have a bunch of
-
videos coming up because the hatchback is coming up at the end of spring we got
-
the coop coming out in December and we got the Type R comin outweigh the future
-
so you might as well start now for that one and then we also have DSi coming for
-
your passengers the 9th gen civic is still a great option tons of headroom
-
legroom I'm 58 this is definitely still a comfortable car
-
bolstering is very nice on this car also still has your center armrest I will
-
direct your attention to the floor of the car on the night Jan it is a really
-
flat surface so even the person in the middle
-
won't get awkward in terms of where they place their feet in the tenth generation
-
that's a different story since this car has been lowered by one inch they had to
-
still make room for the exhaust going back in the way they did that is they
-
created a hump in the middle so if you are sitting in the middle and might have
-
a little awkward but at least you'll be warm while you do it because this card
-
now has heated rear seat which is amazing that using something reserved
-
for the highest ratings of mortgage smaller luxury brand I'm really curious
-
to see how they make the ILX the Acura version of this car that much more
-
appealing since the 2016 Civic is just really loaded with things
-
speaking of loaded with features so some of the things that the 2016 Pacific has
-
at the 2015 did not have available is you have
-
an electric parking brake you also have the break old system that was brought
-
over from the HRV you now I no longer have to keep your foot on the brake when
-
you're at a stoplight it'll automatically stop or you again features
-
another thing that the Honda Civic 2016 or the tenth generation has is the
-
availability of Honda's sensing package so it's a whole suite of features that
-
allows you to drive safer so you do have break mitigation so this car connection
-
stock for you if there is a car that slammed on the brakes ahead of you you
-
also have low speed follow now so if you're in the lot of stop and go traffic
-
this car will actually stop it'll restart again all following the traffic
-
that is around you so I mean we're closer guides to self-driving cars so
-
again what they gonna add on to the ILX top what they loaded onto the Civic so
-
you also have the road departure that also was not available in the 2015 where
-
you're really going to notice a difference on the ninth and tenth
-
generation is the instrument panel the 2015 had more of a two tiered dash with
-
your speedometer up top
-
the 2016 has everything all in that instrument panel and it's all digital
-
when you start this car up it just looks super cool wines come out and it almost
-
feels like the card is coming to life when you get that push start button
-
that's really exciting the whole new feel of this vehicle another thing that
-
has been changed is the need materials within the cockpit so to speak
-
the leather is definitely supple its perforated on the 2006
-
you do have a final pitch right in the middle it almost looks like carbon fiber
-
and then you do have right in the middle column width of course your cup holders
-
you also have a spot where you can put your devices you can charge it does have
-
a one and a half
-
amp USB charger and a regular charger as well and then under the armrest you have
-
another power source which is charging station my overall impression of the
-
2016 versus the 2015 is a much more modern look between the touch screen
-
here to the soft-touch materials to the materials that they lined throughout the
-
cabin it definitely gives it a sleek modern look just a touch on the
-
information displayed it's essentially the same display on the 15 versus the 16
-
however on the 16 they did at Apple AirPlay and Android auto so we'll link
-
that up as well just those two videos I did do an apple core play video on the
-
2016 Honda Accord so will incorporate that to one thing that the 2015 Honda
-
Civic did not have available which is now available on the 2016 model is
-
available
-
dual climate control on the other one you just have automatic climate control
-
this one has dual and just a touch on the steering wheel leather-wrapped on
-
the EXL model and above very comfortable has a nice position for your 10 into
-
driving and the buttons one of things I just want to mention that I've mentioned
-
before in a previous video is these buttons are very nice they are not gonna
-
wear out because the print is actually behind the clear plastic so you can rub
-
the clear plastic all you want but it's not going to wear out your cruise
-
control you always see what's going on and I do have to touch on this because a
-
lot of reviewers have been touching on the lack of a volume knob on either of
-
the ninth generation and the temp generation they did not add a physical
-
volume knobs of your own school you might not appreciate that and I can see
-
how you would want to just turn something down really quick or
-
fine-tuning but what I did is they added
-
a sliding on the steering wheel so you can slide your finger crossed or you can
-
push and all that it'll raise and lower your volume I think the biggest reason
-
that they did not include a physical button or a physical knob is for
-
aesthetics it just looks really clean centered right in the middle is your
-
screen and then having nothing obscuring your view of that screen and they did a
-
good job be kept it really symmetrical
-
volume knob would've turned it off a little bit one other thing that you will
-
get on the 2016 Honda Civic touring is rain sensing wipers so you're driving
-
along all of a sudden starts to rain here why people turn themselves off and
-
then turn themselves off when it doesn't fence and then that's something they
-
could turn off when you are in a car wash
-
control of that so whether you're shopping or you're just an enthusiast
-
that really wants to know what's going on with the 2016 Honda Civic I hope this
-
video helps you and if again if you're deciding to purchase a car you know the
-
differences and you know what say the same but see the same is class leading
-
and reaping the Honda Civic has always been on the top of people's radar in
-
terms of shopping for a nice commuter car that gives you a lot of value for
-
your hard-earned money so hopefully you see why the 2016 Honda Civic is haunted
-
attempt to make this a car that is to be desired something that you want
-
something that you strive for and I think they hit the nail on the head if
-
you are shopping for a vehicle and you're on the Central Coast between Los
-
Angeles and San Francisco I can actually help you out you can go straight to my
-
