Honda has given the Civic a makeover for 2011. There are visual changes and new interior trim on some models.
The front gets a 'Type R' style front grille, which Honda describes as 'more upmarket'. There are new alloy wheel designs depending on engine size and trim grade. The SE and 1.4-litre Si versions get 16-inch alloys, while the 1.8-litre Si wears 17-inch rims. The 1.4 Type S comes with a colour co-ordinated body kit and a new 'Ionised Bronze' colour is available across the range.
Inside the upholstery has been changed. On the SE and ES grades the seats are covered in cloth and Alcantara. The Si gets half leather and Alcantara trimmed and heated seats.
The 2011 Civics will start coming out of Honda's Swindon factory in November. Prices start at £13,995 for the 1.4-litre Type S.
