Honda has published various images with the upcoming Civic Tourer which will be available with a rear Adaptive Damper System.
The company says that it’s the first time when a rear adaptive damper system has been installed on a production model. It will come with a choice of three driver-selectable settings: comfort, normal and dynamic – all featuring different settings to meet various driving and load conditions.
The 2014 Honda Civic Tourer has been developed and designed in Europe and is expected to have a significantly larger boot than other models in this segment. The vehicle will be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show to be held in September before going on sale in early 2014. The model was previewed at the Geneva Motor Show in March by the very attractive Civic Tourer Concept and mostly the production model should retain the same designing and styling.
The Tourer will be lighter by 88 lbs (40 kg) than the hatchback and will have CO2 emissions of less than 100 g/km when fitted with the 1.6-liter diesel engine. One of the sources from Honda has also revealed that the more practical Swindon-built Civic Tourer will be between 500 GBP and 1,200 GBP more expensive than the equivalent five-door Civic.
