The Honda Civic, America's top retail selling compact car for the past five years1 and the most popular vehicle with U.S. millennials2, receives a complete redesign with a decidedly sporty, sophisticated and youthful new look, along with the first application of Honda turbo engine technology to a U.S. model. To celebrate the unveiling of this epic Civic redesign, the 2016 Civic Sedan will be joined onstage by the vehicle's Los Angeles-based design team, and on-the-rise alternative rockers Night Riots (www.nightriots.com), who will give an electric live performance as part of the reveal. Fans that tune in also will be introduced to the story behind the music; how The Power of Dreams connects Night Riots – known for their anthemic, synth-heavy dance-rock –with the revamped 2016 Civic lineup.

The Sept. 16 reveal of the 2016 Honda Civic Sedan follows the introduction of the ultra-sporty Civic Concept at the New York International Auto Show in April, and kicks off the launch of this completely reimagined lineup of 10th-Generation Civic models. With the most diverse range of models in Civic history, the new Civic lineup will include Civic Sedan, Coupe and Si models, along with the first-ever five-door Civic hatchback for the U.S. market, as well as an all-new, radically powerful Civic Type-R as the performance flagship of the Civic lineup.

Further details about the all-new 2016 Honda Civic Sedan will be revealed on Sept. 16 at 6:15 p.m. PST at www.YouTube.com.

About Civic

The first-generation Civic debuted in America in 1972, and Civic has played a leading role in advancing fuel efficiency, small-car safety performance, design, technology and fun-to-drive performance over nine generations. American car buyers have purchased more than 10 million Civics over the course of 43 years and Civic has been manufactured in North America since 1986, with cumulative production in North America approaching 9 million units.

About Honda

Eight Honda auto plants in North America, including four in the U.S., have the capacity to produce 1.92 million automobiles each year3. In 2014, more than 97 percent of the Honda and Acura automobiles sold in the U.S. were produced in North America.

About Night Riots

Night Riots is setting the alternative underworld ablaze as swift and smartly as their brooding, melody rich and timeless songs have already endeared them to critics. The Southern California based band has a unique melodic sensibility - delivering transcendent pop music that is both modern and timeless; as well as both sinister and romantic, with the downbeat flare of new wave, '80s movie soundtracks.

Frontman Travis Hawley spent five years in England before moving to a small coastal town with only one traffic light, where he met guitarists Nick Fotinakes and Matt DePauw, bassist Mikel Van Kranenburg and drummer Rico Rodriguez. Now heralded by Rolling Stone as one of the "Top 16 Unsigned Bands in North America," Night Riots just wrapped up their Fall Tour with K.Flay and Step Rockets, and have shared the stage with a diverse group of bands including The Mowgli's, Wild Cub, Driver Friendly, Youngblood Hawke, The Front Bottoms, Angels & Airwaves and many more.

It's official, the 2016 Civic sedan will debut September 16, in Detroit and LA!

Via Automobile

Get ready for the tenth-generation 2016 Honda Civic, which will make its debut September 16 in Detroit and Los Angeles. This will be the first time the world has seen the production version of the new Civic, which was firstshown in concept format the 2015 New Yorkauto show earlier this year.

We already know a fair amount about the completely redesigned Civic, which rides on an all-new platform and will use newturbocharged engines. The standard Civic sedan that will be shown first is likely to use a 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC four-cylinderthat’s slated to be built in the U.S., while performance-oriented Si and Type R versions will use the 2.0-liter turbo-four from theEuropean-spec Civic Type R, in various states of tune.

Nice! We have an official date. It's not Frankfurt, but these are even better (I think they're all the same week, so that works). Can't wait!!!!

I really hope they debut the sedan AND the coupe as they should be releasing only a month or two apart, not sure the coupe needs an entirely separate debut. Then the Si variants should debut early next year for a spring release. Type R this time next year most likely.

Very cool! They'll probably end up showing the car in Frankfurt also. 3 city launch will be plenty of publicity and fanfare.

I don't see why they wouldn't show both the sedan and coupe. They both have the same price and standard features for the most part. And the coupe should only be delayed by a few weeks/months compared to the sedan. They should just show both and get it over with. Let the Si variants get their own big debut later.

Agree with you that there shouldn't be any reason to delay the reveal of the coupe. Certainly not any engineering reasons since that should be well done by now and they are only showing the design anyhow. To make the biggest splash at Frankfurt they should show both. If only a sedan is shown it would seem to suggest a later rollout than expected.

Maybe Honda wants to drag out and generate as much buzz and press as possible by having separate reveals. They don't seem big on teasing in the pre-release period so maybe they plan to do all their marketing during the reveal period. Dunno just a guess...

I hate to burst some of your bubbles, but it says September 2016.......which means we have a year to go :(
It says 2016 Honda Civic Debuts September 16. Which means model year 2016, but goes on sale this year.

This is great news. Does the Si usually get its own separate debut?
