1) The emissions are super low, making it cleaner than your average diesel – and petrol – car.
The Civic’s 1.6 i-DTEC engine is one of the first to pass the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) procedure. This is a new series of tests which has been designed to reflect real-world driving conditions. The vehicle was also tested under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) test, emitting only 93g/km of CO2, this means its 22.6% cleaner than your average new UK diesel car, and 25% cleaner than your average new UK petrol car.
2) 33% quicker than the old model
The new diesel engine is 33% quicker than the 2008 model. This means it will go from 0-62mph in just 10 seconds and produces 120PS @ 4,000rpm.
3) Weight saving engine technology
The engine features an advanced fuel-injection system, turbocharger and all-aluminium engine block, this saves weight resulting in a better drive.
4) Class leading boot space
The precise amount of total space is 1,267 litres. This means you could fit up to 12 large suitcases with the rear seats folded flat. The boot space with the rear seats up equals a total of 478 litres.
5) More fuel efficient than the previous-generation Civic
The Honda Civic Diesel has become famous for its ultra-efficient engine and resulted in previous generations breaking the fuel efficiency Guinness World Record. The new Civic Diesel has built on this success and improved the engine to produce a huge 80.7mpg*
