A new Honda Civic that's more confident, clever and versatile makes its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The ninth generation Civic hatchback offers stand-out looks combined with class-leading space for passengers and luggage - and will continue to deliver peace of mind with low running costs, through Honda's famed and unparalleled reliability. Honda's new small family car has been designed exclusively for Europe and has been extensively tested on the region's roads. It goes on sale in early 2012. (continued below)

New Honda Civic: Distinctive Dynamic Design with Class Leading Interior Space

Source: Honda | Published: Tue Sep 13, 2011

(continued from above)

Overall the new Civic builds on the core strengths of its predecessor and takes them to a higher level. It is also one of the sector's best in performance against low CO2 emissions - the diesel model produces just 110 g/km with 150 hp and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque.

Design Inspiration

Initial ideas for the new Civic explored the car having a 'Lean Energetic' design. 'Lean' was to emphasize the environmental-conscious world existing today, and 'Energetic' to express Honda's vitality. This design direction translated into a 'Clean-Dynamic' design concept.

Initial sketches focused on elegantly flowing designs taken from the 'blended body' airplane (a concept model designed by engineers at the University of Cambridge) and low resistance swimwear with no obvious borderlines between surfaces with bumper and fender lines blending seamlessly into the body.
This concept was a clear break in a new direction, rather than relying on sheer strength and engine power to convey a sporty image, a 'blended body' with reduced resistance would demonstrate a smarter image for the new Civic. An example of this new image is the new rear combination light that works as an aerodynamic spoiler, managing air flow over the top and sides of the car.
