The new Honda Civic Tourer: A worthy vehicle

The Honda Civic Tourer is a very efficient and worthy vehicle. This vehicle from the Japanese luxury car maker offers more space than a usual hatchback model, and also offers great sleeker and smooth styling features. However, with its sleeker body it was rather less spacious as compared against the boxy looking counterparts. The new Honda Civic Tourer has addressed this very space issue and in this field it has done pretty well. The Tourer is also very efficient much like the Civic hatchback counterpart. Moreover, the Japanese car major says that its capable Civic Tourer has the most compact design in its own class, and also has the class-leading boot space.

The Honda Civic Tourer is offered in the market in its 4 model trim levels, namely, S, SE Plus, SR and the EX Plus. The Civic Tourer is available in the fuel options of both petrol and diesel. The petrol version is powered by a 1.8 liter petrol engine that has the ability to churn out the max power output of 142bhp. The petrol engine is mated to a gearbox options of a 6 speed manual or AT transmission. On the other hand, the diesel version of the vehicle is driven by a 1.6 liter turbocharged diesel engine that can deliver a max power of 120bhp. This engine is mated to a 6 speed manual gearbox. Although, the new Tourer’s diesel version is much more expensive than the petrol counterpart, Honda Motor expects that about 80 percent of the Tourer buyers will be choosing the diesel model over the petrol. This is because of the diesel version’s great 74.3mpg combined fuel efficiency coupled with the low emission rate of just 99gm per km.

The diesel model is a really good choice. With its great on road performance and high fuel efficiency, it is a truly efficient diesel car. Moreover, the Tourer’s diesel version really represents the refinement that Honda is known for. The vehicle offers a silky drive with negligible noise and vibration as compared to any normal diesel cars. Thus, it is really worth the extra bucks.

Honda has also done a very smart job of improving the Civic Tourer’s interior space. The new redesigned model is longer than its previous model and its rear has been extended by a good nine inches. Apart from this, Honda has also tucked in the fuel tank under the vehicle’s front seats. In this way, the new model has become immensely more spacious now resolving the above mentioned issue to the fullest. Moreover, the boot space of the car has also become huge enough to engulf your large suitcases, loads of aircraft cabin cases and trolley bags. Plus, the new Tourer comes with Honda’s smart foldable rear seats to ensure you easily extend your boot space further.

The new Honda Civic Tourer is not really a head turning vehicle, but for those who prefer practicality, efficiency, space and performance over stunning looks, the Tourer is definitely a winner.
