Now with the eleventh-generation Civic, Honda is reversing course, and brought back the S and V variant names along with the RS. So, what gives?
Well, according to Atty. Louie Soriano, General Manager of Sales for Honda Cars Philippines , the decision to bring back the S and V is down to their plan to standardize variant names across their line-up. And that was spearheaded by no less thanRealizing that there’s been confusion on what S, V, E, EL, and RS stands for, Nakamura-san, together with the rest of the HCPI team decided instead to make the S variant Honda’s entry-level model.
So basically, the modern naming convention works like this: Honda + Model + Variant + Engine + Transmission + Honda SENSING. This trend may have caught the attention of Civic fans first, but a closer look at HCPI’s line-up shows that they’ve been doing it already with the BR-V Brio and the City . Currently, the HR-V and CR-V have been caught in a state of flux, but expect as the all-new models roll in, they’ll likely get the same S, V, and RS trim names as well . On a side note, hopefully, they don’t call is RS-X because that’s the North American name of the fourth-generation Honda Integra.
