Our friends from WheelsUnplugged claim that Honda Siel Cars India is preparing for the big bash to launch a facelifted version Civic to hit our hometown. It seems that the new Civic won’t get any upgrades under the hood, atleast it get a slightly facelift at the exteriors that includes, new front bumper, new grille design, new headlights and tail-lamps and new set of alloy wheels. On the other side inside the car you might get a new cloth materials and patterns on seats, door linings and armrests. It also seems that they will have the same 1.8-liter engine, two-tier dashboard with a digital speedometer. Once Honda SEIL Cars India launches the new Civic version in India, the older version will be phased out (No official confirmation received). No confirmation about the price and other details revealed yet. According to an some sources, Anti-lock brakes (ABS); Electronic Brake Force distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) may be standard on the new Civic, while multiple airbags might be on the options list. The engine will be the same 1.8-litre i-VTEC unit, which will continue unchanged for 2009. It is to be mentioned that in the international market, the 2009 Civic also received a minor face lift, including a slight redesign to the front and rear. The exterior changes include a new honeycomb-designed grill in the front, as well as revised rims, with many more spokes than the original five-spoke rims, and a bar of chrome trim above the license plate area.
