Honda will take the next step in its European product offensive at the 2016 Paris Motor Show with the unveiling of the new Civic Hatchback. The car is set to appear in showrooms across Europe from early 2017.

The Civic is Honda’s biggest selling nameplate worldwide and this is the tenth edition.

Honda’s stand will also feature the four-door saloon model of Civic. Built at Honda’s production facility in Gebzé, Turkey, the new design includes an improved exterior and interior design. While not on sale in the UK, this car will be available in mainland European markets from early 2017.

Philip Crossman, managing director at Honda UK, commented: “The unveil of the 10th generation Civic at this year’s Paris Motor Show continues the journey we started last year with the complete overhaul of our entire range.

“Couple that with the fact the introduction of the new Civic heralds a new era for the plant in Swindon, as it will become the global manufacturing hub for the British-built Civic hatchback, and we are in a fantastic position going forward.”
