Space Meets Style In Honda's Tourer

Space Meets Style In Honda's Tourer

Date: 2014-05-02
Following its preview at last year's Johannesburg International Motor Show, the all-new Honda Civic Tourer makes its official South African debut this month. The newcomer's arrival means that the Honda Civic family now embraces three body styles, comprising sedan, hatchback and wagon variants.

Distinctively shaped, with a low-slung silhouette and an emphasis on function-driven design, the Civic Tourer offers exceptional utility, eco-friendly technology and high comfort levels in a package that provides a compelling alternative to conventional crossover models.

Given its athletic demeanour, one might be surprised that the Civic Tourer provides such class-leading space, with a capacious cargo area, and the unique benefit of Honda's renowned Magic Seats, which create even more versatile loading options. Benefiting even further from a low loading sill, wide-opening tailgate, and flat cargo floor.

The 1,8-litre i-VTEC engine is credited with a generous 104 kW of maximum power, combined with 174 Nm of torque. It drives the front wheels via a choice of six-speed manual or five-speed automatic gearboxes. The latter's steering column-mounted shift paddles provide rapid and intuitive manual gear changes, in addition to the convenience of fully automatic operation.

Performance is brisk, with the manual gearbox version completing the 0-100 km/h sprint in 9,5 seconds, with a top speed of 210 km/h. At the same time, the Honda's efficient drivetrain allows a combined-cycle fuel consumption figure of just 6,6 litres/100 km, watch out for it.
