The Honda Civic Tourer will be arriving in South Africa in the 2nd quarter of 2014 and, internationally, the Japanese manufacturer has released another clever TV ad campaign dubbed ‘Inner Beauty’. The advert plays on the notion of beauty not just being on the surface.
A number of engines are likely to be available, but a new 1.6-litre i-DTEC turbo-diesel engine with ‘Earth Dreams’ technology is expected to be the start of the proverbial show, with more fuel efficiency than ever before. With a focus on family, expect to see Honda’s latest active and passive safety features, including: Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). The extra space afforded by the wagon body style allows for plenty of cargo area, as well as concealed storage areas and the company’s fold-flat ‘Magic Seat’ configuration.
(If you missed it, the Honda ‘Hands’ short film is brilliant.)
