Honda Civic-EU Version (2012)


  
CARBARN | Honda Civic-EU Version (2012) | Initial ideas for the new Civic Explored the realms of the car having a 'Lean Energetic' design. This translated into a design direction 'Clean-Dynamic' design concept. Initial sketches focused on Elegantly flowing designs taken from the 'blended body' airplane (a concept models designed by engineers at the University of Cambridge) and low resistance with no obvious borderlines swimwear Between bumper and fender surfaces with lines blending seamlessly into the body. To embody this concept, the new car is 20mm lower and 10mm Wider than the current model, with a styling That further highlights the sporty and futuristic elegance and an overall design full of practicality. Research led the designers to Consider how the new Honda Civic 5 door design Could have a sporty look That Could resemble the sporty characteristics Often found in 3 door cars. The new Civic's cab forward design is highlighted by a reduced amount of side glass relative to the surface of the side body in particular reducing the rear window glass area.


Contributing to the low and Planted look is the way in the which the body lines have been designed for the new Honda Civic. Typically the peak point of the side body lines run in parallel with the door handle however the new Civic's lower point is just coming about the middle height of the door panel. At the same time the upper part of the body side adopts a Relatively plain That design is made to contrast with the Sturdy looks lower part of the body side which, together with the side sills, serves to catch the light, emphasizing the look Planted solidly . The wheel arches have been designed to flow out more fluidly from the body surface to give the new Civic its distinctively clean and elegant look. The exterior design project leader is particularly proud of the seamless integration of all the surfaces, from the wheel arches to the body.


"Each single area of the exterior design is unique in Itself, but They are unified into one smooth form ..." (Noriyuki Ishii, Exterior Design Project Leader) The face resembles the Honda 'DNA' and features new high and low beam projector-type HID lights. An automatic high-beam support system is integrated, controlled by a CMOS camera fitted to the windscreen in the area of the driver rear view mirror. When looking at the car, the eye traces a flowing, elegant line the which extends from the front along the sleek low profile side underneath the windows. At the rear, a unique rear combination light has been optimized for maximum visual impact as well as aerodynamic efficiency. As in the current Civic, the rear features strong horizontal design elements identity the which enhance the car's wide stance and strong road presence. On the new car the rear lights are placed on a higher level to Ensure good visibility from Following cars.


The combination lamp has an aerodynamic function too, protruding at the optimal position to cut off body-side airflow. Three distinctive lines, sculpted into the sides of the rear lights, reduce drag by minimizing the amount of water turbulence at the rear of the car. Two new wheel designs are available - a 16-inch 'Sporty' design and a bold 17-inch 'Dynamic' option. The new Honda Civic's Safety Innovations include a cabin load distribution structure, a resin tailgate panel and a new aluminum bumper beam. The mirror surface is Wider than Those of the current model, enhancing rearward visibility for the driver. The bottom edge of the extra window is now lower, improving visibility for the driver when reversing. The current Honda Civic is known for its unique futuristic design interior exterior styling and sporty yet also with spacious and versatile interior.


Sources of inspiration CAME from the control panel layout from a jet fighter plane cockpit and a race car cockpit That enables natural and intuitive operation of all controls. The feeling of sitting in the driver's seat reflects a focused driver space with a comfortable feeling of relaxation and control. The feeling is of a car designed around the driver - the ultimate expression of Honda's "man maximum, machine minimum 'principle. This new functional cockpit has two control zones control the which separate the areas known as the Information Interface Driver Interface zone and the zone. For ease of use, these storage spaces have been carefully placed in the driver's natural line of movement.  A new driver's seat increases the feeling of connection with the car's water cell and features lumbar support and side That meaning the seat can be adjusted to comfortably support drivers of any size and shape. A compact water pump pressurises two cells in the lower seat back on demand, offering levels of adjustable lumbar support, while further water cells in the side bolsters of the seat base can be pressurized to improv lateral support and fit the seat to smaller, slimmer drivers . The driver displays retain Dual Link concept of the current Honda Civic - That's intuitive design places the most essential information Such as the digital speedometer at the top of the dashboard where the driver can consult it frequently without impeding concentration on the road ahead. Secondary information and controls are then placed below. The centerpiece is the 3-meter arrangement of tachometer, engine temperature gauge and fuel gauge. The Civic's Wider and lower exterior form contains the roomiest interior of any C-segment car. It has 1431mm of shoulder room Between the driver and front seat passenger and tandem distance of 795mm (Between the driver and rear passenger seat). The1.8 l engine can be paired with a specially designed 5-speed automatic transmission. The chief goal in the engine and transmission development was to maintain the high performance driving experience whilst improving the overall efficiency of the engine resulting in lower running costs.

Honda Unveils 2013 Accord Coupe Concept
All-new Accord will feature next-generation powertrain technologies, class-leading fuel economy plus innovative safety and technology features

Honda unveiled the dynamic Accord Coupe Concept today at the North American International Auto Show, providing the first official glimpse of the athletic styling direction, as well as revealing a host of new technologies for the all-new, ninth-generation 2013 model, set to go on-sale this fall.

The 2013 Accord will feature three all-new powertrains, including the first U.S. application of both a 2.4-liter direct-injected engine and two-motor plug-in hybrid system from Honda's suite of next-generation Earth Dreams™ powertrain technologies. In addition, the V-6 Accord will be the first Honda sedan to feature a new 6-speed automatic transmission. Both the Accord Sedan and the Accord Coupe models are expected to achieve class-leading fuel economy ratings and will be available with a number of innovative new safety and technological features.

"Marking the 30th anniversary of U.S. production, this new ninth-generation Accord will raise the bar again through a tour de force of new Honda powertrain and safety technologies, geared to ensure that Honda and the Accord continue to lead in fuel economy, safety and fun-to-drive performance," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda.
Design and Packaging
The Accord Coupe Concept features an athletic styling direction for Honda's best-selling model. The front bumper's dynamic lines are highlighted by a revised four-sided honeycomb grille and deeply set multi-reflector headlights. Lower fog-light spoilers are accented by crystallized chrome inlays.

The Accord Coupe Concept's 20-inch, machine-finished, 5-spoke wheels contribute to its solid stance. The rear taillights aggressively sweep into the body, while a trunk -lid spoiler and large exhaust finishers integrated into the bumper underscore the Accord Coupe Concept's muscular exterior.

While the Accord Coupe will remain similarly sized, the Accord Sedan will feature a more compact exterior footprint, adding to its sportier appearance. A shortened length and reduced weight will also give the 2013 Accord Sedan more responsive handling and improved driving dynamics. Both the 2013 Accord Sedan and Accord Coupe will retain the current model's generous cabin space.
Advanced and Efficient Powertrains
The Accord will offer three all-new powertrains for the 2013 model year. The Accord Sedan and Accord Coupe will be the first models in the U.S. to receive the new Earth Dreams 2.4-liter, 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC® four-cylinder engine featuring direct- injection (DI). The engine will be paired to a 6-speed manual transmission or a new Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which utilizes an innovative cooperative control system for excellent acceleration and responsive shifting. The all-new 2.4-liter DI engine generates significant performance improvements compared to the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine it replaces, producing more than 181 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. In addition to an overall improvement in fuel economy compared to the 2012 model, the new four-cylinder-equipped 2013 Accord models are targeted to deliver class-leading fuel economy1.

The 2013 Accord Sedan and Accord Coupe will also be offered with a re-engineered 3.5-liter, 24-valve, SOHC, i-VTEC V-6 engine, paired to a new 6-speed automatic transmission or an available 6-speed manual transmission. The new V-6 engine generates an increase in horsepower and torque over the current model. The 2013 Accord Sedan and Accord Coupe models equipped with the 6-speed automatic transmission will utilize Honda Variable Cylinder Management ™ (VCM™) technology and are targeted to achieve class-leading fuel economy1 along with an overall improvement in fuel economy compared to the outgoing model.

The 2013 Accord lineup will also feature the first application of a new two-motor plug-in hybrid system to the Accord Sedan. The Honda two-motor hybrid system moves continuously through three modes - all-electric, gasoline-electric and direct-drive - to maximize driving efficiency and fuel economy.
In all-electric mode, the 2013 Accord Plug-In Hybrid will use a 6 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery and a powerful 120 kW electric motor to achieve an all-electric range of approximately 10-15 miles in city driving scenarios and a top speed of 62 mph. Fully recharging the battery will take less than four hours using a 120-volt, outlet and less than 1.5 hours using a 240-volt charger.

In the gasoline-electric hybrid mode, the Accord is powered by its fuel-efficient 2.0-liter, i-VTEC inline four-cylinder, Atkinson cycle engine, paired with an electric Continuously Variable Transmission (E-CVT). For more efficient high-speed cruising, the Accord Plug-In Hybrid can engage in a direct-drive mode, in which only the engine drives the front wheels. The Accord Plug-In Hybrid launch next winter.
All 2013 Accord models will incorporate the Honda ECO Assist™ system, an innovative technology that can enhance efficient vehicle operation at the touch of a button, while also providing visual feedback to the driver to promote and confirm a more efficient driving style.
