Civic Tourer Active Life Concept makes its debut
GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ titleholding Civic Tourer 1.6 iDTEC on
display on Honda stand
Honda will reveal the Civic Tourer “Active Life Concept” at this year’s Frankfurt Motor
Show, underlining the Tourer’s class leading cargo space and versatility within the C
segment. The Concept study shows that style and space can work together; a custom
paint colour further enhances the sleek and sporty exterior and an accessorised interior
demonstrates the Concept’s suitability for an active lifestyle and the needs of its
customers.
Utilising the unique centre fuel tank layout, the Civic Tourer Active Life Concept makes full
use of its 1668 litres* trunk space and a low loading height. Features include a smart
loading rack capable of transporting two bicycles, along with a retractable arm which can
be extended from the rack, making maintenance and repairs easier. Other maintenance
accessories include a built in integrated air pump, a large light located on the tailgate, an
extended shade area and a retractable bench making the Concept an ideal vehicle for
cycling enthusiasts. Further accessories include a toolbox, bottle holder, water tank and a
front wheel holder which are all integrated within the trunk side lining. Other clever storage
solutions include a special aero shape roof box designed to accommodate essential
cycling accessories such as shoes and helmets.
The dynamic exterior styling of the Civic Tourer Active Life Concept reflects the sporty and
active lifestyle of the customer; featuring a custom blue paint finish with a lower gun
metallic gradation and a silver roofline which help accentuate the Civic Tourer’s sleek
styling and aerodynamic design. New 18inch alloy wheels and a custom design rear
bumper further highlight the Civic Tourer’s sporty characteristics.
The interior also features a customised theme; blue stitching can be found on the steering
wheel and on the gear shift, along with a sporty black roof lining, which is also found on the
Civic Sport and Civic Type R.
The front seats combine both suede and leather and feature a carbon tape with blue piping
that runs along the centre and along the upper outer areas of the seat, continuing into the
suede door lining.
Of course, space doesn’t have to come at the cost of efficiency, and to demonstrate that
belief, and proving in emphatic terms the efficiency of the new iDTEC engines from
Honda’s Earth Dreams Technology series, the Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 iDTEC recently set
a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for fuel efficiency. The 25day ‘realworld’
challenge in June saw the car average 2.82 litres per 100km (100.31mpg) in a 13,498km
(8,387 mile) drive across 24 contiguous EU countries.
See the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS titleholding Civic Tourer 1.6 iDTEC and the
Civic Tourer Active Life Concept as well as Honda’s new model range displayed at this
year’s Frankfurt Motor Show at stand B11 in Hall 9.0 (1516 September).
