2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics

"The Civic Tourer is the most compact Wagon in the C-segment - just 235mm longer than the Civic 5-door. It is also the lowest Wagon in the C-segment, yet it has the biggest trunk volume in this sector". Patrik Ponec, Project Leader Project Planner, Civic Tourer

The new 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics will be built at Honda's European manufacturing facility, Honda of the UK Manufacturing Ltd (HUM); established in 1985 in Swindon, UK. Honda is committed to manufacturing in the UK and the many awards won by the products built here demonstrate the plant's ability to produce high quality products for the European market.

HUM is a fully integrated car manufacturing facility, producing the whole car (casting, engine assembly, pressing, welding, painting and frame assembly) on one, 370 acre site (1.5 million m2) site. The 1.6 i-DTEC engine which features in the 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics is also built there, exclusively for the European market. Demonstrating the importance of this new diesel engine to Honda's sales plans in Europe, a new purpose-built diesel engine production line has been installed. This new line is capable of producing up to 500 diesel engines in one day. Operating on a two-shift pattern this equates to one engine every 138 seconds. The new line produces both the 1.6-litre i-DTEC and the 2.2-litre i-DTEC engines.

Both customer types placed emphasis on the following characteristics:

Large trunk
Practical storage features
Roomy interior for the driver and passengers
Easy to maneuvere when parking
High level of dynamic performance and fuel efficiency
Furthermore, downsizers from the D-segment expected a high level equipment and comfort to be offered.

The 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics shares much of the same DNA as the Civic 5-door model; with a sophisticated, aerodynamic body that creates a clean, dynamic and elegant look. It also inherits the same sporty and distinctive face as the updated 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics 5-door, with a new front bumper garnish in black. Similarly it retains the sleek cabin design and the integrated rear door handle found on the Civic 5-door, as well as the darker wheel arch garnish and new 17 inch Aluminum wheels finished in silver and black.

The development team have concentrated on new ways to interpret the rear section of the car to deliver a premium feel. The glass of the rear quarter window has been extended to cover the body work of the D-pillar and the rear door sash has been raised by 17mm compared to the Civic 5-door, to form a bold styling line and create an elegant look.

"At first glance it is clear that the Civic Tourer does not look like other Wagons. Recently launched cars have tended to follow a similar style. The Civic Tourer has a different balance and appeal." Adrian Killham, Large Project Leader, Civic Tourer

Behind this sophisticated and sporty design is hidden versatility that offers clever functionality and unrivalled practicality. The 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics interior is sporty yet refined, carrying over the interior updates made to the recently updated Civic 5-door including white stitching detail that has been applied to the steering wheel, seat and knee pad. Black buttons feature on the audio panel and steering wheel switches and the air vents have new chrome coloured plastic surrounds.

As well as creating a unique profile for the 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics, achieving excellent aerodynamics was a priority for the development team. Aerodynamic efficiency is at the heart of the Civic 5-door design, and the Civic Tourer engineers have taken this on further by reducing aerodynamic drag through unique design features including the rear spoiler and side spoilers, allowing the Civic Tourer to emit just 99g/km of CO2.

Despite being only 235mm longer than the Civic 5-door, making it the most compact Wagon in the C-segment, the 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics offers class leading trunk space. With the rear seats up it offers 624 litres of trunk volume, up to the tonneau cover; accommodating three large suitcases with the cover pulled over. Alternatively, with the rear seats down, it offers 1668 litres of space up to the roof lining.

It's wide and low exterior hides one of the roomiest interiors of any C-segment car; offering 1431mm of shoulder room between driver and front seat passenger and 795mm of between driver and rear seat. The height and width of the 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics are identical to the Civic 5-door, although the slightly raised roofline of the Civic Tourer means more headroom in the rear for passengers.

"We call this a flexible tonneau cover, a small storage compartment is located below the level of the floor and in front of the bumper, the tonneau cover can be stored in this compartment but if in use other items like an umbrella can be stored." Adrian Killham, Large Project Leader, Civic Tourer

In the trunk, the 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics features the same underfloor compartment with its two-position sub lid as the Civic 5-door, however the floor of the 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics has been raised creating additional capacity in the underfloor box from 75 litres to 117 litres. This compartment can accommodate two flight cases with the lid up, or alternatively with the lid down to the lowest position, the under floor compartment can carry objects as tall as 1 metre.

Furthermore, the height of the loading lip has been lowered to match the level of the floor (565mm), making loading and unloading the trunk considerably easier.

"We have modified parts of the vehicle to allow us to achieve a very good lift balance front and rear: almost zero front and rear lift, which is excellent for high-speed stability." John Hargreaves.

The new 1.6 i-DTEC diesel engine is the first from Honda's next generation Earth Dreams Technology series to be introduced in Europe. The philosophy behind Earth Dreams Technology is to deliver an impressive balance between fuel economy and driving performance, and this is certainly the case in the 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics. Lightest in class it delivers 300 Nm of torque and emissions from just 99g/km.

Honda's new 1.6 litre i-DTEC is comprised of an aluminium cylinder head joined to an open deck aluminium block, weighing 47kg less than the 2.2 litre i-DTEC engine. All individual components have been redesigned to minimise their weight and size and advanced production techniques have helped reduce weight even further. The thickness of the cylinder walls have been reduced to 8mm, down from 9mm on the 2.2 litre i-DTEC. This is an exceptional achievement for a diesel engine. In addition, lighter pistons and connection rods have been utilised. The 1.6 i-DTEC engine is also offered on the latest CR-V and Civic 5-door models.

The 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics will also be offered with Honda's 1.8 i-VTEC engine in manual or automatic transmission, with CO? emissions starting from just 148g per km. The 1.8 litre i-VTEC showcases Honda's VTEC technology and engine management systems. The engine is designed to function as part of a high quality, easy-to-handle powertrain. Starting is quick and easy, gear shifts are seamless and accelerator control is effortless and predictable. Acceleration and deceleration are always smooth and comfortable whether in the city or the suburbs. The same is true of acceleration and high-speed cruising on motorways.

Honda's commitment to safety is embodied by the term 'Safety for Everyone'; safety for drivers, passengers, pedestrians and occupants of all vehicles. Honda achieves this through a range of both passive and active safety features, which aim to prevent or mitigate accident and injuries.

The 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics features the full list of safety technologies available on the Civic 5 door, allowing it to carry the same coveted five-star Euro NCAP rating for Safety.

New features: Advanced Driving Assist Systems

Honda has introduced a new suite of sensor based active safety systems on the 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics that use a combination of cameras, short range lidar (Laser Radar) and radar technologies. The 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics utilises these technologies and many other advanced safety features to deliver a high standard of safety in all conditions, giving drivers and passengers complete piece of mind.

Blind Spot Information uses radar technology to automatically detect vehicles in the driver's blind spot and warn of potential dangers when the vehicle is travelling at speeds of more than 20km/h. The system is designed to detect cars and trucks and can help to support drivers in situations such as passing other vehicles and merging or changing lanes.

Cross Traffic Monitor

Honda's Cross Traffic Monitor system uses rear side radar sensors to warn the driver of approaching vehicles when reversing. The direction of an approaching vehicle is shown either on the rear-view camera screen or displayed using arrows showing the direction of the travelling vehicle on the i-MID and an audible warning sound. The system is designed to detect cars and trucks travelling up to 25km/h, and can be turned off by the driver when the vehicle has stopped.

Adaptive Cruise Control allows the driver to choose both their speed and distance from the vehicle ahead. If this falls below the set level, the system instantly decelerates the vehicle. Where quicker deceleration is required the system will alert the driver to apply the brakes using visual and audible warnings.

Collision Mitigation Braking System

This system monitors the following distance and closing rate between the car and the vehicle (car or truck) directly in front of it, warning the driver when a collision is likely and helping reduce impact speed when a collision becomes unavoidable.

OTHER SAFETY FEATURES

The 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics also features a wide range of active safety features that are available on the current Civic 5-door. These include:

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA)

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) is designed to assist the driver in maintaining control during cornering, acceleration and sudden manoeuvres by applying braking assistance to any of the wheels as necessary and modulating the engine torque output as required.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Emergency Stop System (ESS)

The 2014 Honda Civic Tourer Pics is equipped with ABS, controlled by a compact and lightweight VSA modulator. It is complemented by Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD), which adjusts front-to-rear brake effort to achieve maximum braking performance and stability based on the vehicle's speed.

This is supplemented by the Emergency Stop System (ESS), which automatically activates the brake and hazard warning lights (indicators) when it detects an emergency stop situation. The lights blink rapidly to warn following vehicles that the vehicle is stopping abruptly, reducing the risk of collision.
