For the second time running, Parkers has recognised the Honda Civic e:HEV in its list of winners at the annual New Car Awards. The Civic e:HEV has retained the title as 'Best Medium Family Car' for 2024, following victory in the category last year.
The Carbuyer judges commented, “We've been saying it for a while: not everyone wants an electric car. Hybrids still make an awful lot of sense, and the latest Honda Civic is the best of the bunch. Practical, good to drive, and alarmingly fuel efficient even without a plug, this car nails its brief.”
The Honda Civic family has picked up two award wins and is commended in a third category at the 2023 Auto Express New Car Awards. The Honda Civic e:HEV was named Affordable Hybrid Car of the Year and nominated in the Family Car of the Year category whilst the iconic Type R was crowned Hot Hatch of the Year.

Earlier this year, motor journalist experts were invited to put the all-new Civic through its paces. Here's what they had to say.
We recently announced that Honda's iconic Civic is celebrating 50 years of continuous production this year, but there is a second Civic-related anniversary - the Civic Type R is celebrating 25 years of production.
The Civic Type R rewrote the rulebook on what a hot hatch should be and embodies the Type R philosophy, thanks to exquisite engineering and engaging dynamics. Over six generations, the formula has evolved to deliver the ultimate front-engine, front-wheel-drive performance hatchback. One that can comfortably handle the daily commute from Monday to Friday, before tackling the circuit at weekends.
The story starts in 1997 with the EK9…
Honda has unveiled the all-new Civic Type R as it celebrates 25 years of the brand's iconic high-performance hatchback - and 50 years of Civic. The new Type R has been engineered to deliver the most exhilarating Civic Type R experience to date, building on a long tradition of performance cars inspired by the spirit of racing.
Available in Europe from early 2023, the Civic Type R is already setting new benchmarks, recently breaking the front-wheel drive lap record at Suzuka Circuit in Japan. As part of its development, Honda engineers refined every aspect of the new model, including design enhancements that improve aerodynamic performance. Lightweight components and powertrain revisions have created the most responsive and powerful Type R ever.
Honda has released its first teaser image of the all-new Civic Type R, ahead of its World Premiere at 3am (BST) on Thursday 21st July 2022. This global unveil will showcase the car ahead of its arrival in Europe in early 2023.

Developed as a 'car for the world', more than 27.5 million Civics have been sold in 170 countries since the model was first launched in 1972. As it enters its sixth decade with the launch of the 11th generation, the Civic continues to set new class benchmarks and exceed the expectations of customers around the world.
Nicki Shields, Formula E presenter, gives us an up-close and personal tour of the all-new Honda Civic Hybrid e:HEV…
Honda's next-generation Civic Type R has set a new lap record for a front-wheel drive car at the world-famous Suzuka Circuit in Japan. It lapped the 5.8km track in 2 minutes 23.120 seconds, 0.873 seconds faster than its predecessor, the stripped back 2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition.
The recent unveiling of Honda's all-new Civic e:HEV represents the culmination of its commitment to electrify its range by the end of 2022. The Civic is the latest model to be offered with e:HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) technology and joins Honda's other electrified models: Jazz, Jazz Crosstar, CR-V, HR-V and Honda e.
Honda has now confirmed a further expansion of its electrified line-up in 2023, with three new electrified models:

Honda's Civic rose to the top again at the Company Car Today's CCT100 Awards, taking Lower Medium Car of the Year for the third year running. Chosen from a pool of 100 cars, it was named amongst the twenty award-winners that represent the very best company car choices for business fleets across various automotive segments.
Edging out the likes of the BMW 1-Series, Mercedes A-Class and Volvo V40, the Civic's victory is no mean feat. In eclipsing the competition, the Civic attained a higher overall score across a range of metrics - such as performance, residual value and insurance cost - by which the judging panel assessed the contenders' company car credentials.
Honda has introduced a new Sport Line model to its 2020 Civic line-up, featuring exterior design cues inspired by the acclaimed Type R. The new Sport Line model is available in a top of the range model EX - and adds assertive styling to the outstanding driving dynamics and practicality of the standard Civic.
The refreshed Civic builds on the car's purposeful silhouette and muscular stance by adding a new elegant, symmetrical lower front grille around the fog lights, with smoothed surfaces and sleek styling blades. A simpler grille beam configuration and new air-intake design give the front profile a cleaner, more aerodynamic design.

Wider, longer, and lower than any of its predecessors, the all-new Civic saloon has a short front overhang and taut lines that reference the strong aerodynamic efficiency. A sharp and aggressive 'face', pronounced wheel-arches hint at the saloon's sporting character.
Similar to the hatchback, the new wider, longer platform results in class-leading interior space. The interior features a simple, uncluttered layout and exceptional refinement. The seating position is again lower to give the driver a greater feeling of connection with the car, and the new saloon combines unrivalled passenger and luggage space with versatile, practical usability.
In the fifth and final of a planned series of lap record attempts across Europe in 2018, Honda has set a new 2min 10.19sec record for a front wheel drive production car at the Hungaroring GP circuit in Hungary.

The track holds special significance for Button, as the circuit where he won the first Grand Prix of his career with Honda in 2006.
Following three successes in the Honda Civic 'Type R Challenge 2018' at the Magny-Cours, Spa-Francorchamps and Silverstone circuits, Honda has set a new 2min 01.84sec record for a front-wheel drive production car in the Civic Type R at the Estoril circuit in Portugal. The high-performance hatchback was driven by Honda WTCR driver, Tiago Monteiro.
The British-built Honda Civic Type R has taken home another trophy, this time at the 2018 Auto Express Awards, taking the title of Best Hot Hatch for the second year running.

These awards are highly important for both carmakers and customers because of the authority and integrity of the Auto Express brand.
Following two successes in the Honda Civic 'Type R Challenge 2018' at the Magny-Cours and Spa-Francorchamps circuits the high-performance hatchback has set a new 2mins 31.32secs lap record for a front-wheel drive production car at the Silverstone GP circuit in the UK, beating the benchmark set by the previous generation Civic Type R in a similar challenge in 2016.
After setting a lap record at the Magny-Cours GP circuit just last month, the high-performance hatchback has set a new lap record front-wheel drive production lap record of 2mins 53.72secs at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium. The Type R was piloted by former FIA WEC LMP2 class World Champion, Bertrand Baguette, who is currently racing a Honda NSX-GT in the Super GT series with Nakajima Racing.
Following the debut of the Honda Civic 'Type R Challenge 2018' car at the Geneva Motor Show, the high-performance hatchback has set a new 2mins 1.51secs lap record for a front-wheel drive production car at the Magny-Cours GP circuit in France.

They allow you to adapt the Type R's response to different surfaces and conditions - whether on the road or the racetrack.
Hot on the tails of our Civic 2017 Preview Events, on Tuesday our new Honda Civic 2017 demonstrators arrived on the transporter. Rarely has there been so much excitement over a new Civic, but the new 2017 model is definitely a special case.
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.

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).
When you really excel yourself at something you not only get that deep self satisfaction that tells you that this is your best work, but also the admiration of all your peers...
Honda Motor Europe's President, Manabu Nishimae, today announced that the 1.6-litre i-DTEC engine in the new Civic would deliver CO2 emissions of 95g/km.
The new 1.6-litre i-DTEC engine is the first drive train from Honda's new Earth Dreams Technology engine series to be introduced into Europe. It will be manufactured at Honda's UK manufacturing facility in Swindon from the end of 2012.
The new 5 door Honda Civic has been rated one of Europe's safest cars, according to new independent crash testing results from Euro NCAP. In addition, Euro NCAP have announced that they are extending Honda's Advanced NCAP reward for its Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) technology to include the new 2012 Civic.
Customers can now book and enjoy an early test drive in the new 2012 Civic. To arrange, please contact our Weybridge sales team on 01932 858811, or our Ottershaw sales team on 01932 874411, or simply follow the link below:
Our first 2012 Honda Civics have arrived, and are being prepared ready for customer demonstrations. Nearly all of the body components on the new 2012 Civic have been redesigned with particular focus on ride and handling, reduced CO2 emissions, design and interior quality, while retaining the class-leading cabin, boot space and practicality.

Honda today starts production of the new Civic as normal production resumes at its Swindon car plant, with the creation of 500 new jobs.
During his speech to Honda Associates, Honda Motor Europe President Mr Nishimae acknowledged the workforces' resilience:
After a four year journey of discovery for Honda's development team, the much anticipated New Honda Civic will arrive on the roads in 2012.
Trident Honda will be holding exclusive preview events for our customers and friends with attendees being the first to see the new car.
The preview nights will take place on:
The most important area of focus throughout the development of the new 2012 Civic was safety - not just the occupants of the car but other road users too - such as pedestrians and cyclists.
Mitsuru Kariya, Civic Development Leader, explains:
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.
The new Honda Civic features a distinctive new dynamic, flowing exterior design which is complemented by a high quality interior finish.
The designers of the new Civic wanted to keep the sporty and advanced elements of the car's character but tailor them to express the new model's more dynamic feel.
One of the most exclusive and explosive hot hatches of recent years has been given an extra dose of MUGEN power.
The Honda Civic Type R MUGEN debuted in 2010 to near-universal acclaim, and a 20-strong limited edition production run of the hand-built, motorsport-derived machines went on sale to UK enthusiasts.
Honda are delighted to announce a new Limited Edition Civic based on the Si.
The car will be known as the Si-T and feature Pioneer integrated navigation with bluetooth HFT and rear parking sensors and replaces the existing Si-T.
The new 2012 Honda Civic will offer a quieter and more refined driving experience to ensure comfortable journeys on all road conditions.
The development team worked hard to sharpen every detail of the design, build and aerodynamics, to optimise the interior refinement in the new Civic. The engineers spent time testing the car in Europe to tune the new Civic to suit the varying road conditions.
The new 2012 Honda Civic will feature a cleaner, more powerful and economical diesel engine to deliver lower running costs for owners.
Improvements to Honda's 2.2-litre i-DTEC engine, coupled with a low-drag body design, mean the new 2012 Civic emits only 110 g/km of CO2 - while producing a powerful 150 PS and 350 Nm of torque.
A new Honda Civic that's more confident, clever and versatile makes its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
The ninth generation Civic hatchback will offer stand-out looks combined with class-leading space for passengers and luggage - and will continue to deliver peace of mind with low running costs, through Honda's famed and unparalleled reliability.
Race-car looks are combined with high-spec interior equipment on Honda's new limited edition model, the Civic Ti. Based on the 1.4 and 1.8 i-VTEC SE variants, the Civic Ti comes with £3,700 worth of extra equipment over and above the standard model.
The 5-door Civic is inspired by this season's Honda Racing British Touring Car challenger, and is fitted with unique, 17-inch 'Pro Race' wheels from Team Dynamics, Honda's racing partner in the BTCC.
The British-built Honda Civic has been given a refresh with a range of cosmetic enhancements for 2011. The updates and additions are designed to enhance the striking appearance and passenger comfort of the car at no extra cost to the customer.
Production for the 2011 Honda Civic begins at the Swindon manufacturing plant in November 2010 with prices starting from £13,995 for the 1.4 Type S.
The biggest vehicle reliability survey in the country has named the Honda Civic as the most reliable car. The survey, which quizzed the country's largest fleet operators who between them run more than a million vehicles, saw the Civic take top position from its nearest rival the BMW 3 Series.
Honda and BMW were the only two carmakers on the leaderboard, which revealed that Honda made three of the top five most reliable cars and BMW the remaining two.
Honda has released a special edition Civic Si, which comes with a smattering of sporty add-ons.
The Si grade only applies to the five-door Civic and covers all engine variants. The package includes colour-coded bumpers, front foglights, a Type-R-style mesh grille and dark chrome door handles and fuel cap.
Honda Civic Type Rs are to be exported from the UK to Japan from next year. The three-door will be called the Type-R Euro to distinguish it from the four-door Type-R Civics on sale in Japan and will be sold in limited numbers.
The cars are built at Honda's plant in Swindon.
A Honda spokesman said:
Mugen Motorsports, Honda's tuning division, is set to release a hardcore Civic Type RR later this year - heralding plans to enhance Honda's entire model range.
Based on the high-revving three-door UK-spec Civic Type-R, the Type RR features a 240bhp engine and track-focused cabin. It is expected to look a lot like the original Civic Type-R concept, revealed in 2006.
The Championship White Edition of the Civic Type R is a highly anticipated addition to the line-up and will continue to build the reputation of Type R.
The Championship White Edition combines design and performance enhancements over a standard Civic Type R
Changes include:
The Civic Type R has been named Top Gear Hot Hatch of the Year. The award was presented by Jeremy Clarkson to Bernard Bradley, General Manager - Cars, at the Top Gear Awards dinner in London on Thursday 10 January.
Honda UK Manufacturing Limited (HUM) celebrated a major milestone on Friday November 9th with the production of the millionth Swindon-built Civic, further underlining Honda's long term confidence in UK manufacturing and Swindon.
Civic production began on September 19, 1994 and in that first year just 6,652 Civics were produced. This year, HUM will produce 138,792 Civic cars.
David Hodgetts, HUM Director, said:
A high-spec, Sat Nav-equipped version of the Civic Hybrid has been launched by Honda (UK) to meet customer demand.
The Civic Hybrid EX is now available to order from authorised Honda dealers, with the first customers due to receive cars in November. The EX also features leather upholstery and Honda's Hands Free Telephone (HFT) equipment, which uses Bluetooth technology to allow mobile phone calls to be made safely on the move.
The Environmental Transport Association named the hybrid as the overall winner for the second year in a row and also as the winner of the family car category.
Unsurprisingly, the list of most polluting cars was dominated by models from the sports luxury sector. Lamborghini took the bottom two places with its Diablo Roadster and Murcielago Roadster models. The Ferrari Supermerica was rated as the third most polluting.
The new Civic Type S is available for order now for delivery in 2007. For more details, please visit our Honda Civic Type S webpage:
