Honda shows off its Civic Tourer estate

Honda has shown photos of the new Civic Tourer estate, which will debut at next month’s Frankfurt motor show. At about €1,000 more than the equivalent hatchback, the Civic Tourer majors on practicality. It’s 624 litre boot is the biggest in the class, claims Honda, and, with the back seats flat, it has more space than the Volvo V70. Engines are, for now, limited to a 140bhp 1.8 petrol and the highly acclaimed 120bhp 1.6 diesel.
