"More than any other product, the Civic Tourer highlights the ambition, energy, skill and tenacity of our Associates. Developed, designed, tested and produced here in Europe, the Civic Tourer demonstrates what can be achieved by our European teams," said Honda's European President and COO, Manabu Nishimae.
The Civic Tourer will arrive in U.K. dealerships in early 2014, with the choice of two engines, either a 1.8-litre i-VTEC petrol or the new 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel.
The diesel engine is the first in Europe from Honda's next generation Earth Dreams Technology series and delivers incredible fuel economy without compromising power and performance.
The light weight engine provides a competitive 118bhp of power and 300Nm of torque with a century sprint acceleration time of 10.1 seconds, yet still delivers 31.6km/L on the combined cycle, giving a range of 1,314km on a single tank of fuel and CO2 emissions of just 99g/km.
Despite being the lowest and most compact estate in its segment, the new Tourer offers a class-leading 624 litres of boot space (up to the tonneau cover with rear seats up). Utilising Honda's unique Magic Seat system, the rear seats can be pulled down to create a completely flat load area, which expands the load space to up to 1,668 litres of capacity up to the roof lining.
The ceremony was hosted by senior management to congratulate the Associates at the plant - those in its European R&D team and Honda's suppliers - for their hard work in the creation of this bespoke European model - the new Honda Civic Tourer.
