Lisle, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/29/2011 -- Honda of Lisle, a leader for the 2012 Honda Civic Coupe in Chicago, is happy to announce that they are taking pre-orders for this revamped vehicle. There have been some slight changes to this model of the Honda Civic and they mainly apply to the Hybrid model.

The car is said to be much lighter and more maneuverable than previous editions as well as an increased emphasis on fuel economy.

This is impressive considering that the Honda Civic is already one of the most fuel efficient cars on the market. Let’s take a look at what’s happening with this model as well as other Civic trims and models.

The 2012 Honda Civic Coupe in Chicago will be available in three different models: Si, Hybrid, and natural-gas. With these models comes greater emphasis on fuel economy. Car buyers are craving vehicles that offer them tremendous fuel economy and the Civic has delivered year after year.

"The Civic is the only model in the industry that can deliver on all fronts – fuel economy, sporty performance, smart packaging, alternative fuel and long-term value," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "For the ninth-generation Civic, we are emphasizing improved fuel economy across the board, from the hybrid sedan to the sporty Si model."

The 2012 Civic Hybrid, available at Honda of Lisle and which will be outfitted for the first time with a lithium-ion battery and a larger 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine, is expected to achieve an EPA-estimated city/highway combined fuel economy of 45 mpg, an improvement of 4 mpg compared to the current Civic Hybrid.

Both the Civic Si and Civic Hybrid models will be equipped with aerodynamic components for improved efficiency and Honda ECO Assist™ technology, an innovation that can enhance efficient vehicle operation while providing feedback to promote more efficient individual driving styles.

Along with improved fuel economy, the new Civic lineup, soon to be available from one of the leading Chicago 2012 Honda Civic Coupe dealerships, also delivers more performance, particularly with the Civic Si. The Civic Si sedan and coupe models will be equipped with a larger, more powerful 2.4-liter engine as well as a new 6-speed manual transmission.

The new engine is anticipated to deliver 200 horsepower with 170 ft-lb of torque. Even with the larger engine and a 22 percent increase in torque, Civic Si is targeted to achieve an EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of 31 mpg; an increase of 2 mpg when compared to the current model.
