The 2012 Honda Civic will cost from £16,495 when it goes on sale in January.
To help boost fuel economy, all versions have an Econ switch, which adjusts the car's management system to maximise efficiency.
A smaller-capacity diesel engine – believed to be a 1.6 – will join the range in late 2012. It's expected to emit less than 100g/km of CO2.
There are four trims – SE, ES, EX and EX GT. The 1.8 ES, which costs £18,995, is expected to be the most popular version.
ES trim
The entry-level Civic gets 16-inch alloys, air-con and USB connectivity.
SE trim
This is expected to be the most popular trim and comes with:
• automatic headlights and wipers
• Bluetooth
• cruise control
• electric folding door mirrors
• front foglamps
• leather-trimmed steering wheel and gearknob

EX trim
Additional equipment on SE cars includes:
