New Honda Civic Sport revealed

• 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.
