Trident Honda News - Civic

Trident Honda held a series of three VIP Preview Events yesterday for the launch of the new Honda Civic. The new events included a brief talk by a Honda representative, outlining the features of the new model, followed by an opportunity to see the car up close.

We're delighted to report that Honda's next-generation Civic Type R has won the coveted What Car? reader award and has been named as the most eagerly anticipated car launch of 2017.

Demonstrating its huge popularity, the Type R took almost half of the votes and clinched the top spot in the poll compiled by What Car? experts and voted for by the readers.

Commemorating the last of the current Civic Type R to come off the production line, the Black Edition is limited to the last 100 cars and Honda is expecting it to become a true collector's item, and we now have one here at Trident Honda.

The Civic Type R Black Edition features a predominantly black interior with red accents which add to the premium cabin feel, while the exterior is differentiated from the standard version by red rear wing end plates on the spoiler.

Our most advanced and sporty Civic ever - with sculpted, aerodynamic lines and a choice of efficient, powerful engines, our new Civic delivers an engaging and spirited drive.

Completely re-designed and re-engineered, the new Civic 5 Door epitomises our innovative spirit and quest for technical excellence. The result is a car created with a unique personality and sporty soul, a car that is exciting to drive, refined, comfortable and sophisticated.

Above all, it's a car built around one vital component. You.

We're excited to announce that the blistering new 290-bhp turbocharged Civic Type-R is at last available for order.

A new interactive online film from Honda was launched today, bringing to life the brand's 'other side' ahead of the hotly-anticipated launch of the new Civic Type R in 2015.

Honda is renowned for its reputation of engineering excellence, technology and reliability. But it's the brand's 'other side', born from a racing heritage and thirst for innovation, which this campaign heroes.

At last the Civic Tourer has arrived at Trident Honda and has already been polished and put into our showroom. Invites to our Civic Tourer Launch event this weekend are currently being sent out, and everyone seems to be unanimous in their admiration for the new model.

A rigorous round of real-world testing dubbed the ‘MPG Marathon’ has once again underlined the impressive fuel-efficiency of the new Honda Civic 1.6 i-DTEC.

In the test of 23 cars driven by independent journalists and company car drivers on UK roads, the Civic took third place for overall mpg, behind the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic and Renault Clio Dynamique - both much smaller cars than the Honda.

Earlier this year Honda (UK) invited a few of its Twitter followers, to make a video-based test drive review of the new Civic 1.6 i-DTEC. But no ordinary review - a challenge to find how far the new Civic Diesel might go on a single tank of diesel.

With an official combined fuel economy of 78.5 mpg, the 120 PS i-DTEC engined Civic and its 50 litre capacity fuel tank could theoretically cover a range of over 850 miles - but we all know the official figures set by industry standard simulated test cycles are rarely comparable to real life driving and speeds.

A while ago we announced the launch of the new 1.6 litre diesel. As expected, it is now being added to the Honda Civic range. The new engine boasts 120-PS and achieves 78.5-mpg whilst emitting just 94g/km CO² - thus qualifying it for free road tax and exemption from the London Congestion charge (subject to registration).
