Honda is preparing to launch the next generation of its Civic hatchback, which will be called Civic X.
The 2017 Civic hatchback will be built at Honda’s facility in the United Kingdom, located in Swindon. From there, the car will be exported to mainland Europe and the United States of America, as well as other markets.
The Civic X has gone through a significant change in design philosophy, as the car will become a global model for the 2017 generation. The term “global model” refers to a car that is sold in the same design and specification across the globe, with minor modifications and changes to suit each market.
Ford and other volume automakers have sold the same nameplate with different configurations on the U.S. and European markets for years, shifting towards this strategy to reduce costs. Honda has decided to follow the idea with the Civic X, marking a new landmark in the history of this model.
One of the members of CivicX.com has published a photo of a 2017 Civic X in the Southampton docks in the United Kingdom. We felt obliged to let the world know about the all-new model that Honda is about to send to the USA with no disguise. According to our reader, the car is in the mid-level trim called EX-L in the USA, but they cannot be sure on this aspect.
However, the person that sent us the image did note that the car’s rear satellite radio antenna is visible, as well as its “LaneWatch” camera, which is mounted on the inferior part of the passenger’s side mirrors and activates a constant real-time display on the multimedia unit.
The system is present on the 2016 Honda Civic, and it is both a blind-spot monitor that is activated when the right turn signal is turned on, as well as with a button on the signaling stalk.
