The 2011 Honda Civic DX is a compact, fuel-efficient sedan (or coupe) that delivers reliable everyday performance and sensible practicality. As the base trim in the Civic lineup, the DX emphasizes efficiency and simplicity while retaining Honda’s reputation for longevity and value.

Performance & Engine
Under the hood, the Civic DX is powered by a 1.8-liter SOHC i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine producing about 140 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission (a 5-speed automatic is optional on some variants). This setup provides smooth, efficient driving for commuting and city traffic.

Fuel Economy
The DX’s efficient engine achieves strong fuel economy typical of compact cars — around 26 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway with the manual gearbox.
