Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Madoka Chujo said that since its introduction to the Malaysian market in 2001, Honda Malaysia had sold close to 148,000 units of Civic. Meanwhile, the iconic 10th Generation Civic, which was launched in 2016, has contributed more than 66,600 units to the total Civic sales, leading the C-segment by 71 percent market share as of October 2021.

“The 11th Generation Civic is a modern interpretation of the classic and timeless Honda values, which is human-centred in approach. This model offers a piece of the future, raising the benchmark of a C-segment sedan in every way while maintaining the best of the Civic DNA, which Malaysians love.
