The tenth-generation Honda Civic will be offered with a choice of three body types – Coupe, Sedan and Hatchback. The ninth-generation model included a Tourer (wagon) version for Europe but Honda have yet to reveal any details on it, including how it looks.
Thanks to Theophilus Chin and his render of a Civic Tourer, we now have a rough idea of what such a model might look like. Currently, the Civic Tourer is in its ninth generation in Europe. The render seen here takes a regular five-door sedan Civic, and adds a bit more space at the back.
Items such as the full LED headlamps, LED daytime-running lights and five-spoke alloy wheels are all featured here. Aside from the new front- and rear-end, the render also sees the addition of conventional access handles for the rear doors. On the current Civic Tourer, the door handles are located a little higher up in a HR-V-esque manner.
Should the Civic Tourer become a reality, it remains to be seen if the model will based on the Civic Sedan or Hatchback, with the latter being previewed by the Civic Hatchback Prototype at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. The Civic Sedan (pictured below) has already gone on sale in various markets, including Thailand and soon, Indonesia.
Regardless of which model it’s based on, the Civic Tourer should adopt a similar dashboard layout as the rest of its siblings, with the advantage of an expanded cargo bay. Similarly, engine options should mirror the European Civic’s offerings.
This includes a new 1.0 litre three-cylinder turbocharged VTEC engine (127 hp and 200 Nm), a 1.5 litre direct-injected turbocharged four-cylinder (201 hp and 260 Nm). A diesel option in the form of an updated version of the 1.6 litre i-DTEC should be part of the engine line-up as well. A six-speed manual gearbox and a CVT are potential transmission pairings for the engines.
While most Malaysians are eager to get their hands on the all-new Honda Civic Sedan, what do you think of a new Civic Tourer? Would you rather opt for the Hatchback or Coupe instead?

i don’t know if it is just me but who around and say… i wish honda comes up with a civic station wagon? or damn i want civic in a wagon
Civic will be in a wagon, a coffin to be precise. the new Civic will fail like the old Civic in Malaysia. Why? Cause the price is too close to a Honda Accord and the SAME as a Nissan Teana.
Nissan Teana now can get about RM123 OTR. Most Malaysians rather get a real proper big D size segment car than buy a kuci tiny kecik C segment car that is overpriced.
This is why in Malaysia, 2014 Altis and 2014 Civic failed big time. Don’t believe? Count how many Civics and Altis you see on the road per day!
I don’t know bout you, but I definitely see more Civic/Altis than Teana. And don’t even mention about Sylphy. I do concur that car prices are hitting through the roof and it’s getting harder to afford a decent family car
New teana looks way better than new accord. But i think accordana is the best
Don’t you know that C-segment and D-segment are for different market?? The younger more well to do adults will go for the C-segment while the older adults would get the D-segment. The interior volume of a Civic and Altis will only be slightly smaller than an Accord or Camry. Its all a matter of preference where you get a full spec Civic with 6 airbags and VSC standard vs a bare spec Camry with 2 airbags and no VSC. I would take the Civic hands down.
Oh and regarding Teana I definitely see way way more Civic, Mazda 3 and Altis than Teana.
