Honda Civic saloon to go on sale in the UK
Turkish-built four-door Civic will arrive in the UK later this year, with petrol and diesel engine options on offer
Honda’s UK Civic range is set for an expansion, with the arrival of a saloon variant later this year.
The four-door Civic is currently on sale on the continent and will come to British shores with two engine options identical to its hatchback counterpart – a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit, which can be paired with a six-speed manual or CVT gearbox, alongside a 1.6-litre diesel with the choice of the same manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic.
As for its appearance, the Civic saloon has a more conventional look than its hatchback sibling – which takes on a more aggressive appearance – but remains instantly recognisable thanks to a similar front fascia.
Both cars also share a platform, which Honda claims gives the saloon ‘class-leading’ interior space.
Phil Webb, head of car at Honda UK, said: “The Civic is a core model for Honda in Europe and has been at the heart of the brand’s strong sales and manufacturing heritage, with the hatchback built in Swindon.
