The Australian Favourite Honda Civic Puts Safety First

TULLAMARINE, AUSTRALIA – May 10, 2012: Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, the ninth-generation Honda Civic has advanced safety features that help take the worry out of motoring.

Safety is Civic’s number one priority, with features such as Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) and Motion Adaptive Electric Power Steering working together to help keep you safe and in control in a potential emergency situation.

Honda Australia Spokesperson, Mr. Lindsay Smalley said; “Civic’s five-star ANCAP safety rating and advanced safety features are some of the reasons why customers will love the all-new Civic.

“Not only will the Civic help to keep you safe on the road, its great driving dynamics, improved handling and class-leading fuel efficiency make it the best buy in the small segment."

The Civic also features Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, which works to disperse collision forces away from the cabin, helping to keep the driver and passengers safe. In a crash where the vehicles are of very different sizes, ACE helps to minimise the impact on both cars.

Anti-lock brakes, six airbags and whiplash mitigation headrests are other features of the all-new Civic that provide further peace of mind. Rain sensing wipers (Sport and hybrid models) and integrated hands-free Bluetooth also help ensure your focus is solely on the road.

With over 180,000 sold in Australia and 20 million worldwide since its launch in 1972, the Civic is an Australian favourite.

Honda is the world’s biggest engine manufacturer, a leader in automotive research and development and consistently rated a top performer in customer satisfaction. There are more than 400,000 Hondas on the road in Australia and millions of happy customers worldwide
