Associates at Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, LLC (HMIN) today celebrated the start of production
of the all-new 2016 Honda Civic Sedan which will arrive at dealerships nationwide in November.
The all-new 10th
-generation Honda Civic Sedan is the most ambitious remake of Civic in the model's
43-year history. Civic is Honda's best-selling model all-time on a global basis, with cumulative U.S.
sales of Civic since its 1973 debut totaling more than 10.2 million cars. Civic also is the most popular
compact car with individual U.S. car buyers for nine consecutive years1
.
"The Honda Civic is one of the most successful and enduring models in our company's history," said
Bob Nelson, president of Honda Manufacturing of Indiana. "Our team of Indiana associates is
incredibly proud to build this new and innovative Civic Sedan and we are committed to using our
experience to deliver the tremendous quality and reliability that our customers expect."
HMIN has invested nearly $97 million during the last three years in the Greensburg facility to adopt
new manufacturing processes and technologies to enhance the quality and delivery of its Indiana-
built vehicles.
"Our team of associates took on a number of new manufacturing approaches that are key to helping
this 2016 Honda Civic create new value for our customers," said Troy Niemeier, new model leader
for the 2016 Civic at Honda Manufacturing of Indiana. "We are excited about sharing this labor of
love with our customers in the coming weeks."
More than 9 million Civics have been produced in North America since 1986, including nearly 4.5
million in the U.S. Since HMIN began production in Indiana in 2008, more than 1.05 million Civics
have been manufactured. Civic is also being built at a Honda plant in Alliston, Ontario, with the new
turbo engine built exclusively at the Honda engine plant in Anna, Ohio.
The Civic sedan is the first in a series of new 10th
-generation Civic models that will include a sedan,
coupe, high-performance Si models, a 5-door hatchback with the first-ever Civic Type-R model for
the North American market, comprising the most diverse and innovative lineup in Civic's 43-year
history.
2. Backing up the new Civic's dramatic and sporty design with new power and efficiency, for the first
time the 2016 Civic will feature two all-new engines – including Honda turbo engine
technology. These powerful and fuel-efficient new engines, combined with a sophisticated new body
and chassis design, deliver incredibly responsive and sporty performance with a higher level of ride
refinement and class-leading fuel efficiency.
