The ninth-generation Honda Civic, which was
produced between 2011 and 2017, marked an important milestone in the Civic’s
history.

1. Launch Dates: The
ninth-generation Civic was introduced at different times in different markets.
It made its debut in the North American market in April 2011, followed by its
European launch in February 2012 and the Asia Pacific region in early 2012.

2. Body styles: Honda offered the
ninth generation Civic in four different body styles: sedan, coupe, hatchback,
and station wagon. Each of these body styles caters to different market
preferences.

3. Civic Tourer: For the European
market, the Civic Tourer was introduced as a wagon/station wagon version. It
features a distinct design and a smaller exterior size compared to other variants.

4. Civic Type R: The hatchback version of the
ninth-generation Civic served as the basis for the Civic Type R (FK2) model,
which was released in 2015. The Civic Type R is known for its high-performance
capabilities.

5. Absence of Japanese market: Interestingly, apart from the limited
production Civic Type R (750 units), no version of the ninth-generation Civic
was sold in Japan. This led to the Civic’s absence from the Japanese market for
seven years until the release of the tenth generation Civic.

6. Production in Japan: In 2017, the ninth-generation Civic sedan was tentatively produced
for export in Japan. The decision was made in response to the suspension of
production at the Ayutthaya plant in Thailand due to the 2011 floods in
Thailand. This production shift helped meet global demand.

The ninth-generation Civic offers a range of
options to cater to different markets and preferences. It was succeeded by the
tenth-generation Civic, which brought more updates and innovations to the Civic
lineup.
