Upcoming New Honda Cars in India
New Honda Civic India Launch
The new Honda Civic is easily among the most awaited of upcoming new Honda Cars in India in 2017, 2018. The new Civic does look really promising. The earlier Civic descended into obscurity due to the launch of cheaper, diesel equipped alternatives. And this eventually lead to its withdrawal from the market. Now, though, Honda intends to bring the Civic back to India in the form of the current generation model. Civic’s design highlights include- ‘Flying H’ front chrome grille, a long hood, sporty bumpers, and boomerang-style LED taillamps.
