Honda 'Sexes Up' Civic For 2004
Published: 4th September 2003
Changes to the spacious cabins have been aimed at delivering a
lighter and more elegant ambience with careful co-ordination of
colours and textures. Seats are finished in a new fabric and their
shape has been improved for greater comfort. There is now more chrome-finished
detailing, matched to a new centre console colour of Magnum Silver
(applied to specific grades).
On Executive grades a new titanium leather interior with dark titanium
centre console is also available. Other upgrades include a rear
seat centre cup holder incorporated in the back of the armrest and
a larger sized seat back pocket. Civic 3 door models are equipped
with a sports steering wheel while 5 door models feature a new 4-spoke
steering wheel with built in audio controls.
The Sport grade is distinguished with red seat inserts and red door panels (matched with black) and a steering wheel similar to that of the Type-R.
All Civic 5 door models now have self illuminated meters similar to those of the Honda Accord and Civic IMA, while all 3 door models now feature white dials. Most Civics now feature a combined trip / fuel consumption mpg display with an outdoor temperature readout.
All UK Civics now feature a larger boot volume thanks to the provision of a Spacesaver spare wheel throughout the range. Actual volume goes up by 55 litres for 3 door models and 45 litres for the 5 door, or 21% and 14% respectively.
