Honda introduced the sixth generation of the Civic, also known as the Civic EK, in 1995 in three body shapes. The three-door version was one of the most successful in its lineup.
After a successful fifth generation, Honda decided to replace it with a new vehicle after just four years on the market. Some could say that it was just a facelift, but the technical differences were significant. It was a different platform, and that divided the Honda enthusiasts. But nevertheless, it proved to be a great handling car. The Japanese carmaker used the same platform for more vehicles, with front- or all-wheel-drive.
The 3-door Civic was the only hatchback offered by Honda on the market. Its big headlights came to please those who complained about the small 5th generation small headlamps. A small grille with black plastic mesh supported the silver H-badge.
Inside, Honda installed high-quality velour upholstered seats, similar to those installed in the Accord. Apart from the sportiest version, all the other versions featured small side bolstering. In the rear, it was limited room for two occupants. At least, the bench was folding so it could increase the trunk size.
For specific markets only, Honda offered the 3-door Civic with a 160 hp engine, named TypeR, also known as the EK9. In Europe, it was available with a smaller engine range that provided between 75 hp and 115 hp. The car featured independent suspension in all corners, which was unusual for its segment.
