Honda Reveals Prices And Specs For New 2012 Civic
SLOUGH, UNITED KINGDOM – Oct 3, 2011: Honda has revealed prices for the new 2012 Civic will range from £16,495 OTR for the entry-level 1.4-litre 100PS i-VTEC SE and from £26,595 OTR for the top of the range Civic 2.2 i-DTEC EX GT. The car will also be available in the familiar SE, ES, EX and EX GT trim levels offering customers generous equipment as standard.
The new 2012 Civic was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show last month and order books at Honda dealerships are now open with cars arriving in dealerships during January.
New standard equipment across the range
Standard equipment new
to the Civic includes, Honda’s Intelligent Multi-Information Display
(i-MID) 5-inch dashboard screen which displays relevant driving details
such as mpg, the idle stop status and climate and audio settings. Other new
additions include a rear wiper, daytime running lights and a headlight-off
timer that maintains illumination for 15 seconds after the car is
locked.
Fuel saving technology
In addition, every new Civic comes with
Idle Stop fuel-saving technology (manual transmission only) and an ECON
switch for the first time. The ECON switch is already found in the Insight
and Jazz Hybrid and activating it tells the car’s management system
to adopt specific settings to improve fuel consumption. It does so without
affecting overall safety levels or the general usability of the car.
Entry-level SE trim
The entry-level SE trim also includes
16-inch alloy wheels, automatic air-conditioning and USB connectivity for
compatible MP3 audio devices. However, for an extra £1,500 – making
the price from £17,995 OTR – they can have the same spec but benefit
from the extra performance of a 1.8-litre 142PS i-VTEC petrol engine.
For diesel fans, the Honda Civic SE is available with a refined, powerful 2.2-litre 150PS i-DTEC engine and costs from £20,095 OTR.
ES grade
The ES specification is priced from £18,995 OTR when
paired with the 1.8-litre petrol or from £21,095 OTR for the diesel. It
features all the equipment found in SE and adds a host of features which
are new to the Civic range, including cruise control with a speed limiter,
rear view parking camera, keyfob-operated windows and door mirror folding,
plus auto up/down electric rear windows.
Additional kit on ES includes dual-zone air-conditioning, BluetoothTM Hands Free Telephone (HFT), front fog lamps, auto headlights and wipers, leather steering wheel and gear knob, ambient interior lighting and 6 speaker audio system.
T-Grade package
Available on SE and ES trim levels from March
2012, the T-Grade package costs £995 and adds extra equipment to the
specification including integrated satellite navigation with full European
mapping and touch screen.
EX trim
EX is the third of the four trims and comes with
leather upholstery with heated front seats and a HDD satellite navigation
and premium audio system as standard. It costs from £21,745 OTR with the
1.8-litre petrol engine and from £23,845 OTR for the 2.2-litre diesel.
Top of the range EX GT
The flagship of the all-new Honda Civic
range is EX GT, priced from £24,495 and £26,595 for the petrol and diesel

lumbar support. Also included on EX GT is all the equipment found in the EX
plus a panoramic glass roof, 17-inch alloy wheels, privacy glass,
auto-dimming rear view mirror and sunglasses holder.
For the first time Honda’s Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) are available in the Civic range. This advanced technology is available as a package in EX GT specification only for an extra £1,900 OTR.
