It seems that Honda has taken heed of criticisms towards the styling of the tenth-generation Civic, and, while opting not to overhaul the design completely, has tempered some of its more radical design features. This is perhaps most noticeable at the rear of the vehicle, which has a less jagged, a more conservative look. Other changes include the introduction of a slimmer honeycomb-effect grille and less angular headlights.
The new Civic will adopt Honda’s e:HEV hybrid powertrain, which comprises a petrol engine augmented by two electric motors, with one used as a generator and the other driving the wheels.
The system is already used on the newest (and highly lauded) iterations of the Jazz and Jazz Crosstar, and will appear later this year on the latest version of the HR-V compact crossover. In the Jazz, the petrol-electric powertrain puts out 108bhp, and in the larger HR-V it will muster 129bhp.
