Next generation #civic picks up #design Accolade at #auto Express Awards
The 10th generation #civic, due in showrooms from spring 2017, has won its first UK gong at the 2016 #auto Express Awards last night.
Picking up the coveted #design Award, which was voted for by readers of autoexpress.co.uk, the #civic fended off 14 competitors to the top spot.
The car is proving to be a much anticipated arrival on to UK forecourts next year with the new #civic claiming almost a fifth of the entire vote.
With the production version set for global unveil at the Paris Motor Show at the end of September; the concept was unveiled at March’s Geneva Motor Show to critical acclaim.
Produced at #honda of the UK Manufacturing (HUM) in Swindon, the car will be exported to global markets, including the US. The #design of the prototype heralds a significant step-change from previous versions of Honda’s core European model, focusing on provocative #design and rewarding driving dynamics.
The all-new #civic hatchback will be 30 mm wider, 20 mm lower and 130 mm longer than the current generation. New larger and wider wheels and tyres give a feeling of an assured stance, while the long wheelbase, short overhangs and sleek cabin area further add to the dynamic feel of the exterior. The all-new #civic Hatchback will feature a range of three powertrain options: 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre VTEC TURBO petrol engines, and a revised 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel unit. #civic will be the first European model to feature the two all-new petrol engines.
Phil Webb, Head of Cars at #honda UK, commented: “This time last year we were starting to refresh the range. Since then, we have significantly increased our market share, expanded our offering and started to win awards again.
“This #design Award for the next generation #civic is all the more significant because it is voted for by readers. It’s a sign of things to come and we expect big things for this car.”
