2010 Honda Civic LX — Description and factory-equipped features

This 2010 Honda Civic LX is powered by a 1.8L inline-4 engine rated at 140 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque, paired with front-wheel drive. The LX was positioned as the practical, well-equipped mainstream Civic trim, offering a balance of everyday comfort, economy, and Honda reliability.

Key factory-equipped features (typical for the LX trim)
- Powertrain and transmission: 1.8L I4 engine (140 hp / 128 lb-ft). The LX originally came with a 5-speed manual transmission as standard, with a 5-speed automatic transmission available from the factory.
- Exterior: Halogen headlights, body-color bumpers and mirrors, compact aerodynamic profile, and steel wheels with wheel covers (size varies by body style). Intermittent windshield wipers and a rear window defroster were included.
- Seating and interior trim: Seating for five with cloth upholstery, manually adjustable front seats, and a split-folding 60/40 rear seat that increases cargo flexibility. Simple, durable trim surfaces and practical storage pockets and cupholders throughout the cabin.
- Climate and convenience: Manual air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, power windows (including an auto-down feature on the driver’s window on many factory-equipped models), power door locks, and a remote keyless entry system.
- Audio and connectivity: AM/FM stereo with CD player and auxiliary input for portable audio devices. A basic speaker system designed for clear, user-friendly operation; many factory LX cars included an auxiliary input jack for portable device hookup.
- Safety and security: Dual-stage front airbags, front side airbags, and side-curtain airbags for front and rear seating positions. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), LATCH anchors for child seats, and other passive restraints were standard. Anti-lock brakes (ABS) and stability/traction aids were available on certain factory packages or as standard equipment on some configurations—availability can vary by original equipment and region.
- Chassis and handling: Front independent MacPherson-strut suspension and a multi-link rear suspension (design focused on a comfortable ride and predictable handling for daily driving). Front ventilated disc brakes and rear drum or disc brakes depending on factory options.

Overall, the 2010 Civic LX was engineered as a practical, fuel-efficient compact car with straightforward features aimed at reliable, comfortable daily use. Factory equipment emphasized basic creature comforts, safety features, and flexible cargo/seat arrangements rather than luxury appointments. If you need details specific to a particular vehicle (for example, confirming whether it has the automatic transmission, ABS, or factory-installed options), the vehicle’s build sheet or window sticker will provide exact factory-installed features.
