Equipped with the same 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine as the LX, it produces 158 horsepower.

The cabin includes sport pedals, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a push-button start. Keyless entry is also a standard feature, enhancing convenience for daily use.		The 2024 Civic EX trim is the ideal choice for those who want more power and tech without compromising fuel efficiency. Powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine, the EX delivers 180 horsepower, significantly more than the LX and Sport trims.

The turbocharged engine provides quicker acceleration and a more responsive driving experience. This makes the EX perfect for both city driving and highway cruising. Despite its additional power, the EX maintains excellent fuel efficiency at 33 MPG in the city and 42 MPG on the highway.

Inside, the Civic EX offers several comfort and convenience upgrades that make it feel more premium. Heated front seats come standard, while the one-touch power moonroof allows for added ventilation and natural light on pleasant days. The EX also includes a blind-spot monitoring system. This is a significant safety enhancement that reduces the risk of accidents when changing lanes.

Another standout feature of the EX is its 8-speaker audio system. The cabin layout is ergonomic, with intuitive controls and an 8-inch touchscreen that integrates both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smooth connectivity. The seats are made for comfort, with a power-adjustable driver’s seat that makes sure that drivers of all heights can find the perfect driving position.		The Touring trim sits at the top of the Civic lineup. It is powered by the same 1.5-liter turbocharged engine as the EX and delivers 180 horsepower. With a fuel economy of 31 MPG in the city and 38 MPG on the highway, the Touring manages to maintain efficiency despite its higher-end features and added weight from the premium equipment.

What sets the Touring apart is its luxurious interior. The leather-trimmed seats provide both comfort and a premium look. The 12-speaker Bose premium audio system offers an immersive sound experience for music and media.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard for a cable-free way to integrate your smartphone with the car’s infotainment system. The 9-inch touchscreen display is easy to use and features intuitive controls for navigation, media, and other functions.
