We are fans of the new Honda diesel and it’s good news to see it powering the spacious new Civic Tourer.

Box-on-wheels it is not. The Tourer (estate) version of the Honda Civic looks very sleek

What is it?

The Tourer is the new estate version of the Honda Civic.

It represents a return for Honda to the Golf-sized estate segment, traditionally a quiet part of the market but one enlivened in the last year or two by the arrival of a much more convincing Volkswagen Golf Variant, the impressive new SEAT Leon ST and the sporty estate version of the Ford Focus ST.

Honda Civic Tourer prices start at £20,265 for the petrol-engined 1.8i-VTEC versions but most buyers, especially company car users, will probably be looking at the smooth and economical, low-CO2 1.6 i-DTEC model which has a £21,920 entry point.

Order books are now open and the first cars arrived in UK dealerships in February.

With new or improved offerings from VW, SEAT and Ford, this is gearing up to be a much more active part of the market
