Honda Australia has confirmed that it will no longer offer a diesel option in the current generation of its Civic Hatch line-up.
A refreshed and facelifted Civic Hatch range debuted in Australia last week, but the sole diesel model, the DTi-S, was conspicuously absent.
Today, the carmaker has revealed the DTi-S will not feature in the 2015 line-up, thanks in large part to a lack of demand in the market.
That lack of interest can likely be put down to the diesel model’s high price - the well-equipped DTi-S carried a $6340 premium over the base Civic Hatch VTi when it launched in 2013 - and manual-only availability.
