The upcoming Honda Civic Type R is on everyone’s lips, which is why almost no one noticed that Honda has applied some styling and content updates to the regular Civic as well.
For 2015, the Honda Civic presents itself with an updated, an all-new suspension, as well as new safety and infotainment technologies. Furthermore, Honda has also launched a Sport derivative, which features visual links to the Civic Type R. Styling upgrades apply to both the hatchback and the Tourer and include new headlamps with integrated DRLs, LED taillights, redesigned front and rear bumpers, new side skirts and a black rear spoiler.
On the inside, refreshed Civic models get new seat fabrics and stitching on the headrests, new door trims with chrome door handles and a control panel finished in metallic black.
Another significant addition is the all-new Honda Connect in-car audio and information system with a 7-inch display screen, which features AM/FM, DAB and Internet Radio, Bluetooth connectivity, internet browsing, satellite navigation and rear-view parking camera. The system is also compatible with Android 4.0.4.
The facelifted Civic also debuts a series of new suspension and active safety technologies that Honda says will make the car “significantly more enjoyable to drive, as well as more stable in all conditions.” Upgrades were made to the Agile Handling Assist and Vehicle Stability Assist systems to increase responsiveness, stability and traction. Additionally, all 2015 Civic models are equipped as standard with Honda’s City-Brake Active system, designed to help avoid or mitigate low speed accidents.
As for the new Civic Sport derivative (pictured), it is based on the Civic hatchback and can be ordered with either the 120PS (118hp) 1.6-liter diesel engine or the 142PS (140hp) 1.8-liter petrol unit. Styling-wise, Civic Sport models get a unique color-coded rear spoiler and 17-inch alloy wheels, as well as Civic Type R-inspired elements including the new front bumper with a lower grille mesh and a black roof lining for the cabin
