The 2012 Honda Civic was spied during road testing in Germany, but we can’t exactly tell anything about its styling as this prototype version was still covered in black metal sheets. Overall the 2012 does look lie its going to maintain most if its current aspect, with the back door handles hidden in the corner, so we’re guessing the company will restyle its front and rear areas plus concentrate on its new engines.
As we’ve mentioned before the 2.2-litre unit featured on the current model will not be offered on the 2012 Honda Civic, so we’re thinking a smaller turbocharged or even a hybrid powertrain could be the way to go.
