Civic Facelift: Again

Last month we told our readers about the Honda's plans to bring the Civic facelift to India, following a facelift treatment to the Civic in US.

Later we showed you a couple of photos of the changes you could expect for the Indian version in THIS thread.

Well, here are a couple more - should give an idea of how the new Civic will look. Click on the picture above or below for a larger view.

2009 Honda Civic

The facelifted version of the Honda Civic is expected to hit global showrooms soon. But the people at '8th Civic' forum have got their hands on the Showroom Brochure which will go into printing before the launch of the car.

The Indian version too is expected to undergo the facelift in order to stay up-to-date with the new Accord and the upcoming City. However, the headlights will be more or less the same as the current model and wont resemble the ones seen in the brochure images. The tail light though is expected to be an exact replica of the 2009 model shown in the images below. The engine options wont change and the same 1.8-litre petrol and the 1.3-litre hybrid will run under the new body. The facelift is expected to hit Indian showrooms by Q1 2009.

Honda launchs Civic Sport

Honda India recently launched the Civic Sport limited edition model to celebrate a sale of 3,00,000 cars in India. Ironically though, the car doesn't have any upgrades under the hood and what ever you get is pretty much cosmetic or from the safety point of view. No paddle shifts for this limited edition either :(
