Inovev forecasts 650,000 units per year of the new Honda Civic
- Honda decided to replace in 2021 its C-segment sedan, the Civic, after only five years of marketing, as it had been launched in September 2016. The Japanese carmaker is used to a fast replacement of its models, in particular the Civic which is in its eleventh generation since 1972, which makes a renewal every four and a half years.
- This model traditionally has an international vocation as it is marketed as well in Japan as in China, in Europe or in the United States, and it will be for the first time only available in full hybrid version (HEV), like the Jazz, CRV and HRV.
- Like all the other carmakers, Honda intends to electrify its entire range of vehicles, but this electrification goes for the Japanese carmaker through the “mild hybrid” and the “full hybrid” but not yet by the “Plug-In hybrid” (PHEV) and very little by the battery electric as only one Honda model is now available with this technology (Honda E).
- The new Honda Civic will be marketed worldwide from September 2021, and it will be the first to no longer be produced in Europe since the Swindon plant that produced it for European demand closed in July 2021. The Honda Civic sold in Europe will therefore be imported from a non-European plant. Inovev forecasts a production volume of 650,000 units per year of the new Honda Civic (compared to 620,000 in 2020) which will continue to be produced in China, Canada, the USA and Brazil.
