Honda has released prices for its all-new Civic ahead of it reaching UK dealerships in January 2012.
Prices for the ninth generation Civic start from £16,495 for the petrol-engined 1.4 SE rising to £26,595 for the 2.2 i-DTEC EX GT diesel. All models will be produced at Honda’s Swindon plant.
The advance publication of the prices will enable Honda dealers to take orders from today.
Standard equipment new to the Civic includes Honda’s Intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) 5-inch dashboard screen which displays relevant driving details such as mpg, the idle stop status and climate and audio settings. Other new additions include a rear wiper, daytime running lights and a headlight-off timer that maintains illumination for 15 seconds after the car is locked.
In addition, every new Civic comes with Idle Stop fuel-saving technology (manual transmission only) and an ECON switch for the first time. The ECON switch is already found in the Insight and Jazz Hybrid and activating it tells the car’s management system to adopt specific settings to improve fuel consumption. It does so without affecting overall safety levels or the general usability of the car.
