Honda has announced its new Civic will cost from £16,495 when it hits showrooms in January. The top of the range Civic 2.2 i-DTEC EX GT will be priced from £26,595 OTR.

The new Civic will also be available in the familiar SE, ES, EX and EX GT trim levels.

Standard equipment will include Honda’s Intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) dashboard display, which records the car's mpg and allows the driver to control climate and audio settings. Other new additions include a rear windscreen wiper, daytime running lights and a headlight-off timer that maintains illumination for 15 seconds after the car is locked.

On top of that, car's with manual gearboxes get Idle Stop fuel-saving technology and a new ECON switch, which offers a fuel-efficient driving mode.

The ECON switch is already offered on Insight and Jazz Hybrid, which tells the car’s management system to adopt specific settings to improve fuel consumption.

SE equipped cars
The entry-level SE trim includes 16-inch alloy wheels, air-conditioning and USB connectivity for an iPod.

ES equipped cars
Features all the equipment found in SE (above) but adds cruise control, rear view parking camera, keyfob-operated windows and door mirror folding, plus electric rear windows. ES also offers dual-zone air-conditioning, BluetoothTM Hands Free Telephone (HFT), front fog lamps, auto headlights and wipers, leather steering wheel and gear knob, ambient interior lighting and six-speaker audio system.

EX equipped cars
EX builds on ES with leather upholstery, heated front seats and a HDD satellite navigation and a premium audio system as standard.

EX GT equipped cars
Top-of-the-range EX GT cars get keyless entry, front and rear parking sensors and xenon headlights. There's also a panoramic glass roof and 17-inch alloy wheels. For the first time Honda’s Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) are available in the Civic range.

Oh so no one...

...even tries to say how butt ugly this car is? Makes you either go buu a golf as a sedative or makes the new focus look like the beauty instead of the beast...

Agree

People don't want to spend their hard-earned money on a car that lets them down, then to add insult to injury get poor customer service, so it's important for respected makes like Honda to make cars that appeal to the heart as well as the head.

But there's nothing here to appeal to the heart - it all looks very awkward and has no cohesion. And whilst the inclusion of a rear wiper is a step forward, it's positioning looks like a bodged after-thought.

I used to dream about designing cars when I was a kid but thought there was no point as competition would be fierce. But the large number of ugly cars that get signed off and produced is proving that there must be a shortage of real talent in this field!

No Type R?

Then you can keep your Civic.

More Reliable than a Focus and a Golf

They are the most reliable make on the road. Ford and VW are not. But I wouldn't pay over 24k for this or a focus and the Golf.

This is a mad design.

The current Accord looks nice, maybe they should have done something smaller like the accord for the civic or even done the Honda OSM concept as the new civic..

I really didn't think that Honda could make the back of the new Civic any more ugly than today's model but g-d bless em, they have managed it!! Why couldn't they have given it a standard full length rear window with the high level brake lights in a spoiler at the top of it, and give it a simple but modern rear light arrangement, much more classy?? As for the front, there is some improvement having got away from the "Blackpool Illumination" type glass front end (except the Type R which had a plane classy black grill) but again they ruin the improvement with that nasty grey bit of "V" shaped plastic!! I used to be a major Civic fan in the old days but not anymore!! There is a Type R coming, I think that I read that in last week's addition??
