2017 Honda Civic on sale in March priced from £18,235

Pricing and specifications for the 10th-generation Civic range have been revealed; the model has two new turbo petrol units and a hybrid is likely too

The 2017 Honda Civic will go on sale in Britain this March priced from £18,235.

At launch it comes with a choice of two new turbocharged petrol engines: a 1.0-litre three-cylinder with 127bhp and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder unit with 180bhp. Both are available with a six-speed manual gearbox or a CVT auto, and the smaller unit produces as little as 106g/km of CO2.

The entry version of the 10th-generation Civic is the S. It comes with the 1.0-litre and is mated to the manual gearbox. The most expensive model, the Prestige, comes with the 1.5-litre and, when using the optional CVT 'box, is priced from £27,480.

Between these two trims are five more levels - SE, SR, EX, Sport and Sport Plus. Metallic paint is offered as an option on all specs, priced at £525.

I drive automatic cars. Won't switch back to manual. Can't live with a CVT though... not again. If this had a dual clutch, I would've bought one in a heartbeat.
 
Whoever designed and decided to fit that touch-screen radio on Hondas needs to be shot. It is absolutely god-awful.
 
Nice, but it's basically as big and as expensive as the Accord used to be.
 
TYPE R TOO MUCH? MEET THE NEW HONDA CIVIC SI…

Honda has revealed the new Honda Civic Si – in both coupé and sedan guise – in the United States ahead of its official debut at the New York International Auto Show.

The Japanese brand says the new “sporty Si variants are designed for the everyday enthusiast”, essentially bridging the gap to the hardcore, range-topping Civic Type R.

“The 2017 Honda Civic Si is our first turbocharged Si and sets a new sporty compact benchmark in terms of agility and precise handling while building toward the launch of the Type R as the final chapter in our epic 10th-generation Civic story,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president automobile division, American Honda.

The new Civic Si is powered by a 1,5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with dual variable cam timing. Mated to a short-throw, six-speed manual gearbox, Honda says the powertrain provides more low-end grunt and increased torque output across the engine’s rev range compared to the previous Si. Peak outputs come in at 153 kW and 260 N.m (compared to the Type R’s 235 kW and 400 N.m).

Other upgrades include variable steering ratios, a “sport-tuned” suspension, an adaptive damper system, a helical limited-slip differential, uprated brakes and wider 235/40 R18 tyres.

Although it seems highly unlikely that the new Civic Si variants will be introduced to South Africa any time soon, there’s always the outside chance that this new, more powerful 1,5-litre engine (the 1,5 in Honda SA’s current Civic line-up makes 127 kW and 220 N.m) will one day make its way into local models.
