The concept car already revealed Honda’s intention of moving the Civic into a sporty, emotional, and fun-to-drive direction. This car wedge-shaped forward cabin with lower vehicle height, wider width and shorter length. A wide stance creates a feeling of great stability and sturdiness, while the super-wedged side profile emphasises the exciting look and hints at an equally adventurous interior.

The interior features the “Dual Link” concept, in which driving information, including vehicle speed, is displayed in the upper part of the instrument panel. This design allows the driver to concentrate on the road while receiving vital information, enhancing the easy-to-operate and fun-to-drive character of the car. The rear seats can be tipped up to form a second storage area in the rear passenger cabin. The total volume of the luggage compartment is about 485 litres, thanks to the centre positioning of the fuel tank. via carbodydesign
