The 2012 Honda Civic Concept displays a sharp and clean profile

Detroit, United States - Honda has unveiled its 2012 Honda Civic Si Concept coupe* and Civic Concept sedan at the Detroit Motor Show, providing the first official glimpse at the styling direction of the all-new, ninth-generation 2012 model set to go on sale in America this spring.

The Civic sedan and Hybrid are due to hit Australian markets late 2011.

The exterior styling of both Civic concept models showcases the sedan and coupe's sharp, clean lines with steeply raked windscreens, wide stances and aggressive lines.

The Civic Concept sedan features a sweeping grille and a solid bar that integrates a chrome Honda emblem while the look of the Civic Si Concept coupe conveys an aggressive demeanor with a more angular front fascia, mesh grille and a tapered rear roofline that flows smoothly into the trunk. The Civic Si Concept coupe is exclusively equipped with a rear air diffuser, a centre-mounted exhaust outlet and a rear deck lid spoiler with dual vents. Each concept model has 19-inch machined alloy wheels.

The Civic’s family of engines with “intelligent” Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (i-VTEC) technology become even more fuel efficient for 2012. The upcoming Civic Hybrid offers the latest generation of the compact and lightweight Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) petrol-electric hybrid system and features the application of a lithium-ion battery in a Honda hybrid for the first time.

Building on its emphasis on fuel-economy, most upcoming Civic models receive Honda Eco Assist technology, already available in the CR-Z and Insight hybrids. The 2012 Civic is the first U.S. Honda model to employ Eco Assist technology in a petrol-only powered vehicle. Eco Assist is just one example of how the new Civic can be customised and configured by the driver to suit individual preferences.

All 2012 Civics are equipped with Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) as standard equipment. Additionally, the ninth-generation Civic continues to provide Honda’s exclusive and innovative Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure for frontal collision energy management.
