Overview
![Honda CIVIC SEDAN (DBA-FC1) interior](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e7/Honda_CIVIC_SEDAN_%28DBA-FC1%29_interior.jpg)
The tenth-generation Civic was designated as a global model, which improved development efficiency and gained cost savings.

The model is based on the Honda compact global platform and adopts a sleeker, more sporty
