Honda reveals Civic Tourer ahead of debut

Just a month before its official debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Honda Civic Tourer has been unwrapped to the public.
Developed and designed in Europe, allowing Honda's European R&D team to lead the creative and technical design process, the new Civic Tourer will be launched in Europe in early 2014. It will be built at Honda's U.K. manufacturing facility in Swindon alongside the hatchback variant and the CR-V and Jazz.

The exterior design of the Civic Tourer is sleek and sporty, its distinctive style is defined by a bold line that runs continuously from the front A-pillar to the D-pillar creating the impression of a floating roof line.

The glass of the rear quarter window has been extended to cover the body work of the D-pillar and the rear door sash has been raised by 17mm compared to the Civic hatchback to create this bold styling line.

Behind this sleek exterior design of the new Civic Tourer is a spacious interior, which delivers exceptional versatility and functionality. It features Honda's innovative Magic Seat system and offers a class leading boot space of 624 litres with the rear seats in place, up to the window line. This expands to 1668 litres with the rear seats down and up to the roof.

The Civic Tourer will be available with the choice of two engines - the new 1.6 i-DTEC engine from the Earth Dreams Technology series and the 1.8 i-VTEC engine in manual or automatic transmission. The introduction of a brand new Adaptive Damper System (ADS) will help to enhance stability and comfort under varying load and driving conditions.
