Undoubtedly one of the best-selling and easily recognisable executive sedan cars in the world is the Honda Civic. Now in its 10th generation, the brand has revealed that it is working to introduce the 11th generation Civic in the international market. The prototype of the 11th Generation Honda Civic will be unveiled on the 17th November 2020 and the series-production model is expected to see its market-launch in 2021.
The brand has teased the 2021 Honda Civic in bits and pieces that just give us a glimpse of what to expect in the near future. The 11th generation sedan is expected to be more modern in terms of its design and styling. While the teaser does not reveal much the Civic is expected to come with a more upright front fascia, new headlamps with new daylight running light signatures with inverted tick-mark LEDs, which reverberate with the rear end, wider headlamp and taillamp units, gloss black finished 5-twin-spoke alloy wheels.
The brand has not yet revealed any details on the powertrain or the interiors of the new generation Honda Civic.
