Honda sells a hatchback version of the Civic overseas. The sedan version was on sale in India until it was discontinued in 2012. Now, a revised Honda Civic line-up in international markets includes a more racy-looking Sport model. It is expected to make its debut at the upcoming Paris motor show.
Offered with either 1.6-litre diesel or 1.8-litre petrol engines in hatchback form, the Civic Sport includes new 17-inch alloys and sportier bumper and grille.
Changes across the entire Civic hatch and estate range include new front and rear headlight graphics and technology, new front and rear bumpers, new side skirts, a new finish for the rear spoiler and new interior, including updated seat fabric options.
Also new is a Honda Connect infotainment system, based on the Android platform, which allows uses of pinch, swipe and tap the screen as they would on a smartphone. The chassis remains unchanged. Boot capacity on both models is also unchanged - remaining at 477 litres in the hatchback and 624 litres in the Tourer.
