While the hatchback variant is bespoke to Europe, the sedan variant is essentially a tweaked version of the global Civic sedan – both inside and out.
When compared to the U.S model, the European Civic boasts a redesigned centre console, made from hard-wearing materials, and updated seating fabrics. The Civic sedan also features Honda’s new I-MID (Intelligent-Multi Information Display) screen that allows the driver to monitor the vehicle’s functions.
Initially, the Civic sedan will be launched with a four-cylinder, 1.8 litre petrol engine, with the rest of the engine line-up likely to mirror the hatchback model.
Sales of the European Honda Civic sedan will kick-off late Summer in selected European markets, sans the United Kingdom.

Hopefully the 2013 Civics will have the Earth Dreams engines, Direct Injection and the regular Civics will also have part-time Atkinson valve behavior so it can get hybrid like MPG if you drive conservatively. Also should come to the Civic, Inisght, CRZ hybrid. It's a first in the industry I think. The new engines might come as the 2014 year though.
CVTs will be a good move too, provided that the driver can shift manually if they want to.
