Honda Civic Sport (UK)
Honda's newly announced 1,4-liter i-VTEC
Civic Sport is set to become the entry-level model for this particular grade
when it hits showrooms in May.
Priced from £ 18,360, the 1.4-liter
petrol Civic Sport will be available with a manual transmission and will be
added to the 1.6-liter 120 PS diesel or the 1.8-liter 142 PS petrol, which are
already on sale.
Rated at 100 PS and 127 Nm of
torque, the 1.4-liter i-VTEC SOHC engine is able to push the Civic towards 0-100
km/h in 13 seconds flat before maxing out at 187 km/h, all
while limiting CO2 emissions to 131 g/km.
In terms of looks, it tries to justify
its designation in spite of its puny output with a unique color-coded rear
spoiler, 17" alloys, a mesh lower grille and black roof lining.
Honda UK is in the middle of revising
their current Civic family line-up in order to match customer demand and better
prepare for the next generation model, which is due to hit showrooms in early
2017.
