After released a teaser video and some informations, Honda decided to play with our minds releasing a new teaser a new image of its new Civic generation rear end, ahead of its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
Developed specifically for the European market, the new Civic will be offered exclusively as a five-door hatchback and will compete in the C-segment. It will reach European showrooms in early 2012. As you can see from the image above, the new Civic has a dramatic new rear-light bar, the taillights have been moved higher and incorporated in a single bar which is still splitting the rear window and using some LEDs too.
According to the car maker, the refreshed design of the 2012 Civic features a rear combination light that works as a spoiler. The aerodynamic design of the spoiler manages the air flowing over the top and the sides of the car; this is just one example of how the new Civic has been refined.
The 2012 Honda Civic comes with redesigned body componentswith, focusing on ride and handling, reduced CO2 emissions, interior quality, while preserving the class-leading cabin and boot space and flexible practicality.
Another highlight will be the 2012 model year of the Honda Insight, which has received a facelift – more information about this model will be provided in due course.
The new generation of the Honda Civic will be officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and it’s expected to go on sale in the UK in January 2012. The exhibition of cars will be completed by the display of the CR-Z, the CR-V, the Jazz and the Accord. In addition, Honda will show a selection of its latest motorcycle and power equipment products.
No details about pricing were released, but expect the new car to come with a price tag of about $20,000.
