Honda Civic - Connectivity Features
Display
The 7” display screen has capacitive touch capabilities, with swipe, pinch, and zoom functions—with and without gloved fingers. It’s responsive and customizable. The system settings allow the background color of the display to be adjusted to a choice of five colors, including amber and violet. Though there’s no digital automated personalization, there are ways to configure the menu display to make it less busy. The Honda system integrates both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The ports are discreetly tucked away behind the main center console, but once discovered this is actually rather convenient, in terms of storing the handset and keeping it out of the way while driving.
Voice Control
Honda has integrated a number of systems. The proprietary initial menu is provided by one supplier, or perhaps developed in-house. The voice sounds like a cross between British English and South African. When navigation is selected, the voice then changes to one familiar in other vehicles, as the navigation is provided by Garmin. This experience isn’t seamless, and it isn’t easy to use.
Audio
There are a total of seven media output options, including DAB, FM, AM, and Bluetooth connection. The radio has 12 presets. There is basic manipulation of the levels of this high-powered” 11-speaker sound system in the settings menu, but the tech investment has very much been made in the display and the ADAS features.
Networking
In 2017, Honda North America signed an agreement with AT&T, a North American Mobile Network Operator (MNO) to create built-in 4G enabled in-car Wi-Fi, allowing drivers and other passengers to tether their mobile devices to the vehicle’s (much stronger) data connection.
ADAS
The ADAS provisions are comprehensive in the Honda Civic as standard. Honda SENSING package includes autonomous emergency braking (known as Collision Mitigation), traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, and auto-adaptive cruise control (known as intelligent adaptive cruise control). With the Sport Plus trim, blind-spot and cross-traffic monitoring are also included.
Conclusion
Honda has historically put its technological know-how under the bonnet, making the Civic’s current package a fair compromise in context. The ADAS suite is a definite highlight of the tech package, but the in-car connectivity lacks a coherent workflow. Some areas are easy to use, with acceptable design, but other areas such as telephony and voice control and tethered connectivity are less straightforward, prompting preferred use of mirroring apps, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
