Quality construction, a technologically-advanced and spacious interior, and fun-to-drive performance puts the 2008 Civic Sedan in a class of its own. For the 2008 model year, the Civic Sedan introduces a leather-trimmed interior to the Civic lineup for the first time.
Power and Performance
The 2008 Civic Sedan (DX, LX, EX and EX-L) is powered by a 140-horsepower 1.8-liter SOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. Built on a high-rigidity unit-body platform, the Civic Sedan is designed to deliver precise, sharp, and refined handling performance with its McPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension.
Body and Styling
A sweeping roofline and a sleek windshield angle convey an advanced, one-motion profile with a low and wide stance. The interior focuses on sophisticated styling with a two-tier instrument panel, comfortable seating, and ample storage areas with room for mobile phones, MP3 players, compact discs, and more.
Safety Features
All 2008 Civic Sedan models integrate a wide array of standard safety technologies that include an Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, side curtain airbags, driver and front passenger side airbags with a passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS), and dual-stage, dual-threshold driver and front passenger airbags (SRS). Active front seat head restraints are designed to help reduce the severity of neck injury in the event of a rear collision. Standard active safety features include an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with brake assist and electronic brake force distribution, front seatbelts with automatic pretensioners and load limiters, and a pedestrian injury mitigation design incorporated into the front exterior of the vehicle. Driver and front passenger seatbelt reminders and daytime running lights are also standard equipment.
