Dongfeng Honda introduced domestic sales in 2016, and its sales have been at the top of the domestic car list. However, due to the imminent launch of a new generation of models, or because of the supply of chips, Civic has not performed well in recent months. According to the data, the Civic sold 59674 vehicles from January to August in 2021, including 7526 vehicles from June to August, 8760 vehicles and 6288 vehicles from June to August.

In addition, Guangzhou Auto Honda "Civic" has also been exposed recently.

According to previous information, the car is a sister model of Dongfeng Honda Civic and will be officially launched as soon as the fourth quarter.

From the appearance, there are still some differences between Guangzhou Auto Honda INTEGRA and Dongfeng Honda Civic. The overall front face of the new car is more flat, the long and narrow headlights are connected to the central grille, and the front enclosure is surrounded by a black horizontal trim, which is matched with the raised ribs on the front cover of the engine, which looks more athletic. From the point of view of the rear part, the taillight is similar to the new Civic and adopts hidden exhaust layout. As for the interior layout, power system, body size and so on, it is not much different from the new generation Civic. In recent years, Honda has adopted a "two-car strategy" in China, including colorful / XR-V, Guandao / UR-V, Haoying / CR-V and other sister models. With the launch of Civic / INTEGRA, the two will compete in the compact car market in the future. However, as a sister model, the GAC Honda INTEGRA may affect the market performance of the GAC Honda Civic. After all, there are still some differences in the style of the two models.
