TOKYO: The 10th-generation Honda Civic is set to get a dramatic new look, with a new line-up aimed at winning back the hearts of prospective customers and diehard fans, particularly in the US.
The new Civic will appear in 2017 with the aim of competing with the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf – a target Honda hasn’t hit for years.
It’ll be more efficient, more spacious and boast market-leading safety technology.
The Civic Mk X features an aggressively styled front end with sleek headlights and a prominent Honda badge.
It’s likely to get a more coupé-like roofline with a stubby rear end and distinctive tail-lights.
The car is expected to use Honda’s new 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol and a 1.6-litre diesel in Europe.
