The Honda Civic EXI is the only Civic in the range fitted with a 2.0L engine which produces around 30% more power than the 1.6L unit in the lower models.

It includes a range of additional equipment to build its case as well, including an enhanced stereo with 7" touchscreen, reversing camera (to join the rear parking sensors), keyless entry, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

The Civic EXI also includes triple the airbags of the lower models up to a total of six which, when combined with the blind spot warning system, contribute towards a 5-star safety rating.
