Last week Honda unveiled the 11th iteration of its longest running model, and besides a new look, there’s also some notable tech differences in the 2022 Civic sedan.

The updated version of Honda Sensing in the new model has a camera with a wider field of view, better software and a more powerful processor.

According to Honda, that means it’s capable of “more quickly and accurately identifying pedestrians, bicyclists and other vehicles” than the previous system that used a combination of camera and radar. This time around it’s also able to read traffic signs and relay their information to the driver right in the dash. It uses eight sonar sensors to assist with features like low-speed braking control and to prevent front and rear false starts. This is also the first vehicle from Honda with the new redesigned airbags that are supposed to help prevent brain trauma for the driver or passenger during angled front collisions.

Also new inside are standard color touch screens previously seen in models like the Accord, with 7-inch displays on lower trim models and an optional 9-inch version on the Touring trim. The Touring version also has a Bose audio system, wireless charging and the ability to connect to your phone for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. For the driver, the Touring edition has a 10.2-inch all-digital instrument cluster. (SD-Agencies)
