An ad for the Honda Civic facelift has been sighted on car classifieds website oto.my, with a tentative November 2014 launch date mentioned in the ad copy. That’s very soon, next month in fact.
UPDATE: The Honda Civic facelift has been officially revealed – view full report.
The ad for the 1.8 S variant carries a price tag of RM115,980, which is about the same as the price of the current Civic 1.8 S, if both figures are presumed to be OTR with insurance.
The ad further details some changes in specs in the Civic line-up. According to the ad, the 1.8 S will gain a push start button, auto headlamps and cruise control, while the 2.0 S will be upgraded to six airbags (side and curtain airbags mentioned in the ad) and have the auto headlamps feature added as well.
The top of the line Civic 2.0 Navi will get Honda’s new navigation head unit with HDMI connectivity, similiar to the head units found in the newer Jazz, City and Odyssey.
There’s also going to be a new colour – Twilight Blue. This is the same blue as the Honda CR-V ‘hero’ blue colour. The Civic is currently limited to white, black, silver and grey. The new colour will mean the Civic facelift will have the exact same colour choices as the CR-V.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express disappointment with the Honda Civic facelift, criticizing its minimal updates, outdated design, and cheap interior plastic. Many expect a more significant change, especially matching the US version, which features better interior quality and safety features. Concerns also include the Civic's rear design, engine choices, and competitive pricing against Korean and other brands. Overall, the sentiment is that the facelift is insufficient to maintain its appeal, and some advise waiting for the next model.
