Europe to Receive the Honda Civic 5-Door


Unfortunately, you won't be able to get a 5-Door Honda Civic in the United States. But there are many 4-Door and Coupe models available at Red River Honda - 2020 Highway 75 in Denison, TX. Honda says their 'Euro-Spec Civic' was designed to "offer the best in aerodynamics," thus offering optimal fuel economy.1

 

What's different about the European Civic 5-Door?  We'll not much.  The cabin is given 'soft touch' plastics, a redesigned steering wheel and infotainment system.  2012's model is 10mm wider, 20mm lower, and comes with either 16 or 17-inch alloy wheels.

 

Under Euro Civic's hood: three engines are available. A 1.4-liter i-VTEC produces 98 hp and 94 lb-ft of torque. The 1.8-liter i-VTEC gives you 139 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque. Finally, Honda's the 2.2-liter i-DTEC diesel produces 148 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.

 

Acceleration from 0-62 mph (or 0-100 km's) is 13.4 seconds for the 1.4, 9.1 seconds for the 1.8, and 8.5 seconds for the 2.2 diesel. Top speeds are 116, 134 and 135 mph respectively.
