Honda has been busy trying new things lately, and while we may never see the fruits of their labour when it comes to the NSX or the Type-R, we are now getting a base version of the latest Honda Civic with a 1.6-litre engine. Spec it up for a few bucks though, and it’s hard to tell it apart from the 2.0-litre version.
Honda has launched a base variant of the 2017 Civic with an all-new 1.6L engine. To be offered in the GCC, Lebanon and Jordan, the 1.6-litre Honda Civic comes in two grades, namely DX and LX, and clearly aims to grab some market share from significantly-cheaper rivals. The 2016 Civic which was launched in April this year in 2.0-litre n/a and 1.5-litre turbo forms, leading to an 86% increase in yearly Civic sales at a time when every other compact sedan has seen crashing sales due to the economic slowdown.
Feast your eyes on the all-new “prototype” of the 2017 Honda Civic Type R which is on display at the Paris Motor Show 2016.
The Honda Civic has been struggling to retain its relevance in recent years, what with strong competition from rivals that offer better overall value. Everyone would agree that the last truly-innovative Civic was the one that debuted in 2006, so a decade later, Honda has pulled out all the stops in an attempt to become the benchmark of the compact segment again, as can be seen by the daringly-designed exterior.
The prototype of the hot Civic hatchback is being showcased in the 2016 New York Auto Show following its preview at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The hatchback is the third body-style of the 10th-generation Honda Civic, after the sedan and the coupe. While nothing is confirmed for other markets, the fact that a hatchback model is finally being offered in the U.S. and Europe may mean that it could come to the GCC as well, as some sort of worldwide model. A Type-R version of this has already been spotted testing. We can always hope.
Close to a month has passed by since a teaser image from Honda gave us a sneak peek into what the new Civic hatchback will look like. And now at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, Honda has unveiled the prototype of the same car. The hatchback is expected to join the sedan and coupe body styles from 2017.
Honda showcased the 2016 Civic at the SEMA 2015 by adding a subtle bodykit to it.
After it was spotted completely undisguised a few days ago, Honda has officially revealed the all-new 2016 Civic sedan in the US.
Ahead of its reveal next week, pictures have come up online of the all-new 2016 Honda Civic completely undisguised.
This is not exactly a leak, but we doubt Honda wanted them out in public. These are drawings of the next-generation Honda Civic, dug up from patent filings by Honda. Patent filings are kind of like going on record legally so that no one else copies their designs.
