It's not the usual sort of update, but Honda's all-new 2012 Civic sedan is now on sale in Australia, again.
Listed as the 2012 Civic Series II, the new models arrive as repairs to Honda's flood-affected factory sees production return to Thailand, after a short-term supply arrangement with Japan.
The change means the VTi entry-level badge is back, with the VTi-L name returning to the middle of the range. There is also the VTi-LN (adds satellite navigation) and the Sport, while the Civic Hybrid continues unchanged.
“Over 3400 Civic Sedans have already been sold since the all-new model was launched in March this year. Australians can expect superior quality, even more features and exceptional value for money,” Honda Australia General Manager for Marking and Sales, Stephen Collins said.
As before, the VTi, VTi-L and VTi-LN are powered by Honda's 1.8 litre i-VTEC petrol engine, producing 104kW and 174Nm of torque.
The VTi is available with five-speed manual and automatic transmissions, while the VTi-L and VTi-LN are available with the automatic only.
Features on the new entry VTi include 15-inch steel wheels with a temporary spare, along with keyless entry, cruise control, power windows with driver’s auto up/down, four speaker audio, USB, iPod and aux connectivity, Bluetooth audio and Hands Free Telephone with steering-wheel mounted controls, Motion Adaptive EPS and the Intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID).
