The 2016 Honda Civic is one of the most anticipated cars of 2015.  The sedans will be available in many variations including LX, EX, EX-T, EX-L, and Touring Editions.  This is what is known about the 2016 Honda Civic Release Date, Specs, and Prices of these editions. 

A recent conversation with Sims Honda reveals that "The all new redesigned 2016 Honda Civic will be released either towards the end of 2015 or the beginning of 2016 is our best guess".  Considering that it is the end of 2015, one can assume that the beginning of 2016 is the best guess. 

According to CarsDirect, the 2016 Civic Sedan has been totally redesigned.  The sedan has arrived in full force, and the coupe and the four-door hatchback expecting to arrive within the year along with the Sporty Si and Type R versions. 

The MSRP for each vehicle trim is a bit higher than what the Honda site claims to be the starting price.  The specs also vary as anything with a 2.0 Liter engine will get you 138 hp, while the 1.5 Liter Turbocharged DOHC will get 174 hp.
