2012 Honda Civic UK Pricing and Specs

The new grown-up Honda Civic is now available to order in the United Kingdom, starting at £16,495.

The car comes with three engines, a 1.4 and 1.8 a i-VTEC petrol and 2.2 i-DTEC diesel. The top of the range 2.2 model costs £26,595. The car will also be available in the familiar SE, ES, EX and EX GT trim levels. All the manual models are fitted with Idle Stop fuel-saving technology, and they also feature the ECON switch which adopts specific settings to improve fuel consumption.

The car can be had with a five-speed automatic gearbox for an additional £1,385.

Standard equipments on all Civics include Honda’s Intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) 5-inch dashboard screen which displays relevant driving details such as mpg, the idle stop status and climate and audio settings. Other new additions include a rear wiper, daytime running lights and a headlight-off timer that maintains illumination for 15 seconds after the car is locked.

It’s just the look of this car that is a downer. It’s not bad, but at front, it looks a bit weird. Apparently Honda wants to win back the elderly customers they’d scared off with the previous generation!

The extra features and equipments of the higher grades are as follows:

Entry-level SE trim​

The entry-level SE trim also includes 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic air-conditioning and USB connectivity for compatible MP3 audio devices. However, for an extra £1,500 – making the price from £17,995 OTR – they can have the same spec but benefit from the extra performance of a 1.8-litre 142PS i-VTEC petrol engine.​

For diesel fans, the Honda Civic SE is available with a refined, powerful 2.2-litre 150PS i-DTEC engine and costs from £20,095 OTR.

ES grade
The ES specification is priced from £18,995 OTR when paired with the 1.8-litre petrol or from £21,095 OTR for the diesel. It features all the equipment found in SE and adds a host of features which are new to the Civic range, including cruise control with a speed limiter, rear view parking camera, keyfob-operated windows and door mirror folding, plus auto up/down electric rear windows.

Additional kit on ES includes dual-zone air-conditioning, BluetoothTM Hands Free Telephone (HFT), front fog lamps, auto headlights and wipers, leather steering wheel and gear knob, ambient interior lighting and 6 speaker audio system.

T-Grade package
Available on SE and ES trim levels from March 2012, the T-Grade package costs £995 and adds extra equipment to the specification including integrated satellite navigation with full European mapping and touch screen.

EX trim
EX is the third of the four trims and comes with leather upholstery with heated front seats and a HDD satellite navigation and premium audio system as standard. It costs from £21,745 OTR with the 1.8-litre petrol engine and from £23,845 OTR for the 2.2-litre diesel.

Top of the range EX GT
The flagship of the all-new Honda Civic range is EX GT, priced from £24,495 and £26,595 for the petrol and diesel respectively. New to the Honda Civic range are smart (keyless) entry/ignition, front and rear parking sensors, bi-xenon HID headlights and lumbar support. Also included on EX GT is all the equipment found in the EX plus a panoramic glass roof, 17-inch alloy wheels, privacy glass, auto-dimming rear view mirror and sunglasses holder.

For the first time Honda’s Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) are available in the Civic range. This advanced technology is available as a package in EX GT specification only for an extra £1,900 OTR

2012 Civic to herald Honda revival? Weekly Column

Honda has announced prices for the new 2012 Civic range today, with the headliner opening price of £16,495. If you weren't aware that both Ford and Vauxhall have base-line value editions costing £13,995 and £12,995 respectively, this would seem good value: compared to the models people in reality actually buy, it still is.

That £16,495 buys a 100hp 1.4-litre Honda Civic SE. With, it seems, a welter of equipment as standard: 16-inch alloys, automatic air con and USB, plus the usual electrical goodies and, impressively, auto stop-start and Honda's ECON button. This is a sort of energy-saver function, that alters air con and other controls to save fuel. It's standard on the Insight and Jazz Hybrid, but this is the first time it's been fitted to a mainstream Honda model.



(How many monthly mpg record-chasing fleet drivers will start turning to it more and more towards the end of the month, in an attempt to snare the £50 John Lewis voucher haul?)

All looks good. The 1.8-litre is competitive too; it costs £1500 more than the 1.4-litre, but offers 42hp more yet still average 48.7mpg and emits less than 140g/km CO2 (the 1.4-litre dips below 130g/km, incidentally).

Moving up the range, ES trim is even more tempting. This will probably end up being the best-selling 2012 Honda Civic variant, as it adds Bluetooth, cruise control, auto lights and wipers, folding door mirrors, rear-view parking camera and a much better stereo... but costs only £1000 more than the SE grade.

The problem comes, for now, when you consider diesel. Honda, see, does not yet offer a mid-range 1.6-litre diesel, so it is 2.2-litre i-DTEC or nowt. Yes, all 150hp of it. The price to pay for this? A whole £3600 more than the standard 1.4-litre petrol – which means you can't get a Honda Civic diesel for less than £20k. Take it in that popular ES trim and you're looking at £21,095. For the Ford Focus 2.0-TDCi 140 Zetec user-chooser, who's looking at £19,495 for their choice model, that's quite a jump.



For the 1.6-litre TDCi 105 Zetec Ford Focus chooser, who's paying just £16,995, it's no less than prohibitive: it's pretty unlikely a company with a diesel-only policy will find the extra £3100 to take the Civic diesel, meaning the new Honda Civic may well be closed to many fleet drivers until the mooted new lower-capacity diesel engine arrives some time in 2012.

Mind you, for those that can stretch to it, they're in luck. Honda has at last given us a car that hits a key CO2 target bang on the bullseye, instead of shooting just wide. No 101g/km Honda Insight instances here: the new Honda Civic i-DTEC emits 110g/km, making it fully eligible for the 100% first-year writing-down allowance benefits this brings. The 67.3mpg average economy is also highly impressive for a 150hp diesel that, if it's anything like the old one, drives brilliantly well.

The future 1.6-litre diesel users will be in luck, too. As the 2.2 i-DTEC emits 110g/km and averages such a heady economy figure, the bar has been set high for the smaller engine to beat. As it'll have to do it by some margin, it thus seems more than likely that Honda will have another winner on its hands. Sub-100g/km and in excess 72mpg for all variants? Combined with an entry list price of around £17,500? With all the other benefits of the new Honda Civic, that looks one definitely worth anticipating, not least because if it's infused with anything like the talents of the 2.2 i-DTEC, it's going to be a cracker.

It's not here now, regrettably, but it will come in time. Just in time to give the Civic a post-launch impetus and ensure its first year on sale is a strong one indeed.

See, Honda needs and deserves this car to do well. Built here in the UK, the Swindon plant has undergone well-documented cost-cutting measures over the past few years, including reduced hours and even a big plant shutdown. All of this was done with the agreement of the Honda employees to help secure the plant. They did this, and it's now finally back on full production again, gearing up for the launch of the new Honda Civic. These cars will be in UK dealers from next January, and will be fulsome reward to the flexibility and understanding of the Swindon workforce.

The plant is determined to thrive again. The Civic is going to once again be a key part of its arsenal, after the old model rapidly faded following Euro 5 emissions legislations and the resultant withdrawal of the diesel and Civic Type-R models. The car's been given a second chance to take on the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf, and neither Swindon nor Honda is going to take its eye off the ball this time round.

The new Honda Civic has thus been intricately designed following exhaustive analysis of the family hatch sector, to give it the best possible chance of success. Even the fact it doesn’t yet have a key small-capacity diesel engine shouldn't be criticised too strongly, given the promise the new one offers (plus the fact a notoriously diesel-disliking Honda approved the design of a second in-house diesel engine at all). Every step is significant and every move is a measure of the new Honda Civic's newfound importance in Honda's weaponry.

What are the chances, then, of us speaking this time next year of Honda's rebirth in the UK? Well, new Civic, it's over to you. Can you reinvigorate a proud company that's been undeservedly under the cosh for too long?

Spend an extra £995 with Honda for the T-Grade package from March next year and your SE and ES can be kitted out with integrated sat-nav with full European mapping and a touch screen.

The EX trim adds leather upholstery and heated front seats, sat-nav and a premium audio system. It costs from £21,745 OTR with the 1.8-litre petrol engine and from £23,845 OTR for the 2.2-litre diesel.
