Honda has just unveiled a subtly updated version of its hybrid Civic. No revolution in sight, but a series of small adjustments.

The bulk of the work done by Honda on its successful sedan is aesthetic and practical, designed to maintain the appeal of the famous hybrid model without disrupting its essence.

At first glance, this mid-cycle facelift is distinguished by a slightly reworked front end. All versions now feature a new upper and lower grille with a bolder design, dressed in shiny black. The headlights are accentuated by a new trim that enhances the car’s gaze, while a redesigned bumper spoiler adds a more athletic touch to the overall look. The 18-inch wheels, now bi-colored and diamond-cut, vary by trim: gray for the Advance, black for the Sport.

Notably, the front fog lights are omitted. A choice made by Honda, made possible by improvements in LED technology, deemed sufficient to ensure optimal visibility. A new color called Seabed Blue joins the color palette, replacing the Premium Crystal Blue and highlighting the aerodynamic lines of the model.

Honda Without Risk Taking

Inside, the changes follow the same logic: light but neat. All models feature a black roof lining and new matte chrome touches around the air vents. On the Advance version, the atmosphere is enhanced by ambient interior lighting and footwell lights. The Sport, on the other hand, comes equipped with a heated steering wheel and a 10.2-inch digital display. As for the Elegance trim, it now benefits from wireless smartphone charging.

On the mechanical side, however, nothing changes. The e:HEV hybrid engine remains steadfast, a guarantee of efficiency and frugality.
