On the interior the sedan has an unconventional split dashboard. The speed and distance meters lie inside the top dash which is viewable above the steering wheel. The tachometer (RPM gauge) sits by itself in the lower dash which is viewable through the outside of the steering wheel. The civic also includes a central dash system for the higher end models that is used for touchscreen navigational systems and other features.
Under the hood the coupe has a 4-cylinder SOHC i-VTEC engine, which provides competitive performance with 140HP at 6300RPM. For the 2007 year Honda has maintained the same level of performance as previous years while lowering emissions and reducing fuel consumption. The 2007 sedan is rated as an Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle, which means it emits less than 50% of the emissions than other comparable vehicles released in 2007.
The Civic sedan standard model comes in 3 different trims, DX, EX, and LX. There also exists the Civic Sedan Si which features an upgraded model and other improvements that are targeted towards the sporty market.
Common to all trims is the 5-speed manual or automatic continuously variable transmission, front and side airbags, daytime running lights, anti-lock braking with electronic braking distribution.
