DYNAMIC EXTERIOR UPGRADE HEADLINES REFRESHED HONDA CIVIC e:HEV

Honda has unveiled an updated version of its popular Civic e:HEV, featuring refined exterior styling and upgraded interior touches, while maintaining its renowned hybrid performance and efficiency.

This latest iteration represents a thoughtful evolution of Honda’s iconic hybrid hatchback, responding directly to customer feedback without compromising on the versatility and dynamic driving experience drivers expect from the Civic.

Sharper, More Confident Exterior

The refreshed Civic lineup introduces a bolder, more distinctive front grille across all grades, finished in sleek black gloss and complemented by redesigned grille and headlight accents. These updates give the Civic a sportier and more assertive presence on the road.

The front bumper design is more sculpted, incorporating pronounced character lines and a new body-colour lower bumper spoiler that enhances the car’s premium and athletic stance. New 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels add to the dynamic look, with grey diamond-cut finishes for the Advance grade and black options for the Sport model. Door garnishes finished in high black gloss further amplify the Civic’s striking exterior.

To streamline the design, front fog lights have been removed on all trims, made possible by advanced LED headlight technology that ensures superior visibility remains uncompromised.

In addition to existing colour options—Platinum White Pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, Sonic Gray Pearl, and Premium Crystal Red Metallic—Honda introduces a new Seabed Blue paint, replacing the Premium Crystal Blue and accentuating the Civic’s aerodynamic silhouette. Optional accessory colours now include Berlina Black, Nordic Silver, and Patina Bronze.

Refined Interior Ambience

Inside, the Civic welcomes subtle but impactful enhancements designed to elevate the cabin’s premium feel. All models now feature a black interior roof lining and pillars, complemented by matte chrome detailing around the air vents for a sophisticated touch.

The Advance trim gains new interior illumination and footwell lighting, creating a welcoming environment for occupants. The Sport grade receives a heated steering wheel for added comfort during colder drives, alongside a larger 10.2-inch Digital Driver Display with clearer graphics for improved readability of essential driving information.

Meanwhile, Elegance models now offer wireless charging integrated into the centre console, ensuring convenient access for both driver and passenger.

Dynamic Performance Remains a Highlight

Under the hood, the Civic e:HEV continues to deliver the well-balanced performance drivers value, powered by the proven two-motor hybrid system. This advanced powertrain maintains its blend of responsive acceleration and fuel efficiency, reinforcing Honda’s commitment to sustainable driving without sacrificing driving pleasure.

Advanced Safety Technologies

Safety remains a cornerstone of the Civic’s appeal, with every model equipped with Honda SENSING, one of the most comprehensive active safety suites in its class. Key features include Forward Collision Warning, which alerts drivers to potential hazards ahead through audible, visual, and tactile signals.

A wide-angle high-definition camera enhances road awareness by accurately detecting lane markings, motorcycles, cyclists, and pedestrians, supported by a high-speed processing chip that ensures reliable operation in various lighting conditions.

Notably, the Elegance grade now includes an auto-dimming rear-view mirror—a feature previously reserved for Sport and Advance trims—enhancing visibility and driver confidence in low-light environments.

Looking Ahead

Rebecca Adamson, Head of Automobile at Honda UK, comments:
"The Civic, now in its 11th generation, remains a cornerstone of Honda’s heritage. This refreshed model builds on its award-winning reputation by delivering the dynamic performance, versatility, and style our customers expect. With updated interior and exterior design combined with its advanced hybrid powertrain, the Civic perfectly balances efficiency and driving enjoyment."

Norton Way Motors Ltd is also authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for consumer credit purposes. We offer a range of vehicle finance facilities through a panel of carefully selected third-party lenders. We do not provide customers with independent finance advice and will not offer facilities from lenders outside of this panel. Norton Way Motors Ltd is a broker for finance and not a lender. The lenders that we use are given first right of refusal. This is because these lenders will pay us a commission for introducing you to them. Commission may be calculated based on either a fixed amount relating to the vehicle you are purchasing, a percentage of the amount of finance you are borrowing, or a combination of both. We may also get paid an additional fixed commission if you are a returning customer. Different finance lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions. Such payments will not affect the amount you pay under any finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender. We will inform you of the amount of commission that we will earn in good time. We will require your consent for us to receive this commission. Our approach is to introduce you to a lender on our panel who will offer you the best package taking into account eligibility, product suitability, as well as interest rates and other factors. Our aim is to secure the best deal that you are eligible for. You do not have to take our finance as it is available through other distributors. You can arrange funding for your vehicle elsewhere and it may be cheaper.
