caption_attribution_description: 2006-2008 Honda Civic photographed in College Park, Maryland, USA.
context_page_description: The eighth generation Honda Civic was introduced in September 2005, for the 2006 model year. This generation introduced the "two-tier" instrument panel. In many countries, all models come standard with power windows, anti-lock brakes, and side/curtain airbags. Additionally, the 2006 models acquired ULEV-2 certification and boast a more powerful 1.8-litre engine than the 2005 counterparts while retaining almost equal fuel economy.
  In the North American market, the sedan and coupe styles are available, which were designed in Japan and Ohio, respectively. The sedan and coupe are available in several trim levels. The Hybrid only comes as a sedan, while the Si coupe was joined by a sedan in 2007, and the Si sedan entered the Canadian lineup in 2008. 2008 saw the addition of new interior features such as a 60/40 rear folding seat and remote trunk release for LX models, while 2009 models had a mid-generation refresh most notable on the front grille. In Canada, the Japanese-market type Civic 2.0GL is sold as the Acura CSX, and uses a 155 hp K20Z2. A CSX Type-S is also sold, which is similar, but instead is equipped with the Civic Si drivetrain.
