Learning More About the Honda Civic

If you’re interested in leasing a new Honda Civic, you’ll want to learn a few details about what it offers and what you can expect behind the wheel. The Civic comes equipped with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine under the hood. The engine is mated to a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which boasts 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque.

The cabin comes with a 5-inch LCD screen that’s mounted into the center console and gives you direct access to your media options and technology features. You can use it to select your favorite AM/FM station, media from your device or phone through the USB/auxiliary input, or even through pairing your phone with the Bluetooth® system.

You can also take comfort from behind the wheel, thanks to the Honda Sensing® system. This system of driver-assisting technology features is included starting with the base trim. It uses exterior sensors to measure distance and speed, so it knows when to enact the systems and provide warnings.

These features include the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, and more!

Leasing vs Buying

When you’re set to lease a Civic, you should know how it differs from buying one. When it comes to leasing vs. buying a Honda Civic, there are some differences with payment. Buying typically requires a down payment, as well as monthly payments that vary, depending on how much you initially put down. Leasing a Honda Civic generally requires a lower down payment, which may lead to lower monthly payments.

Of course, when you buy, it’s to own the Honda Civic. When you lease, you’re merely renting it for a few years. However, you could actually buy it out of the lease when the term is up. You could also lease a different Honda Civic with the latest features and tech when the current lease term is finished.

Does My Trade Have Equity

If you’re currently the owner of a vehicle, but you’re looking to lease your next ride, you may ask yourself “does my trade have equity?” The answer, yes, it does. Most drivers know that trading in your current vehicle for your next one, whether you plan to finance or lease, will benefit you throughout the process.

When you trade your vehicle in during the process of getting your next car, it acts as your down payment. If the vehicle’s value, or equity, is higher than what’s expected for your down payment, this can lead to lasting benefits with using that leftover equity to add protection plans. However, it can also help reduce your monthly payments which will literally pay off in the long run.

You can start this process early by using our Value Your Trade tool. This tool uses your vehicle’s make, model, trim, year, mileage, and other factors like condition to give you an estimate of what your vehicle is worth. You can use this as a benchmark for when you prepare to find your next vehicle to lease or finance at our dealership!

Trade Up Your Next Car

The great aspect about leasing is that when your lease term ends, there are plenty of options to consider. You can simply initiate the lease return and walk away. Of course, if you thoroughly enjoyed your experiences behind the wheel and you want to keep them going, you can easily buy the Honda Civic out of the lease.

When you decide to buy the Honda Civic lease, you’ll essentially go through financing and the down payment process. However, since the vehicle has already been driven, it’s equity will be lower, so you’ll simply just have to pay for the remainder of its value over the course of your financing terms.

The last option when it comes to the Honda Civic lease return is simply trading it in for a newer Honda lease. You can trade up your current Honda Civic lease for the most recent model with the latest features, style, engineering, and technology.

However, you can also trade up to a different Honda model. Whether you’re looking for a bigger car to accommodate your growing family or your adventurous weekends, you have the option to trade up to any Honda model on our lot that’s available for leasing. When you continuously lease and trade up, you’ll have a new vehicle every few years that features the most updated style and technology. You’ll be able to keep your vehicle up-to-date every few years.
