Honda has officially announced its plans to unveil the 2014 Civic Tourer at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
The Japanese brand is creating a lot of buzz for allegedly the wagon version of the Civic. The company claims that it will have a significantly larger boot as compared to other models in this segment and also that it will come with a rear adaptive damper system with three settings: comfort, normal and dynamic.
Scheduled to hit the market early 2014, the Swindon-built Civic Tourer has been designed and developed in Europe and was previewed in March 2013 at the Geneva Motor Show by an extremely interesting concept.
Honda’s senior engineer Adrian Killham previously stated that the version fitted with the firm’s 1.6-liter i-DTEC diesel will be eco-friendly and will have CO2 emissions of less than 100 g/km. The Tourer variant is going to be heavier by about 88 lbs (40 kg) as compared to the regular five-door hatchback.
In fact at IAA which will be held next month, Honda will also showcase the revised NSX concept, its 2013 WTCC Civic and the McLaren Honda MP4/4 Heritage F1 Car which won 15 of the 16 races in the 1988 Formula 1 season.
