To mark the launch of the all-new Honda Civic hatch,
the brand’s local arm has added a unique Orange Edition version to the range.
In the second such instance of Honda Australia
seemingly being unwilling to wait to give buyers an alternative to their new
model lines – it launched the Black Pack as soon as the Civic sedan hit
showroom floors – the company claims the limited edition kit is “inspired by
Honda’s global motorsport activities”.
There are only 100 examples of the Orange Edition
model available, “ensuring exclusivity for those customers keen to let their
personal style shine through” on their 2017 Civic hatch.
The Orange Edition kit costs AUD 2998 fitted, and is
available to be fitted to the VTi, VTI-S, VTi-L and VTi-LX – not the RS, which
already has some body-coloured sporty parts – provided they’re finished in one
of the following four paint hues: White Orchid Pearlescent, Lunar Silver
Metallic, Sonic Grey Pearlescent and Crystal Black Pearlescent.
The kit includes:
- Orange front lower spoiler
- Orange door and mirror decal set
- Orange side skirt set
- Orange rear lower spoiler
- Black 17-inch alloy wheels – a step up over the 16s fitted to the VTi and VTi-S models
Never fear, though: Civic hatch buyers can also
option the Black Pack, just like those who choose to ‘murder out’ their sedan,
so long as they don’t buy the RS, because it already has sporty sport bits.
The Black Pack includes, for its $2998 fee:
- Black front under spoiler
- Black door mirror covers
- Black side skirts
- Black rear lower spoiler
- Black 17-inch alloy wheels
