The Honda Civic gets a mid-cycle refresh for the 2020 model year. The most obvious change is to the front end of the car, where the new model is generally much sleeker looking, toning down some of the aggressive styling seen in the previous year. The rear of the car also gets a little bit of an update, again an emphasis on sleekness keeps things looking tasteful but aerodynamic. In addition, Honda now offers a manual transmission option when ordering the Civic hatchback.
