Official pricing and specs of the 2014 Honda Civic have been confirmed by the manufacturer as the car hits the showrooms nationwide across America. The “significantly enhanced” Civic starts from $18,190 for the Civic LX Coupe and $18,390 for the Civic LX Sedan.

You have to add a $790 destination charge to that, but still, it sounds like good value considering the car you receive. The new Civic styling updates and interior upgrades over the last year’s model, but its real party piece is the amount of kit it gets as standard.

New available features on the 2014 Civic include the 7-inch capacitive touch-screen Display Audio, LaneWatch blind spot monitor and Smart Entry with Push Button start. The 2014 Civic also marks the introduction of the HondaLink Next Generation connected-car technology which offers advanced integration between a user’s smartphone and the car, providing access to online and cloud-based content and information.

There is also a new CVT transmission available on the gasoline only powered Coupe and Sedan which promises quicker response and smoother acceleration, as well as improved fuel economy. The standard ‘box is a 5-speed manual transmission.
