On sale from early 2017 across Europe, the 10th-generation model has been redesigned following the brand’s “most comprehensive research and development programme”.

In addition, Honda will also showcase the saloon Civic at Paris, which is built at Honda’s production facility in Gebzé, Turkey, the new design includes an improved exterior and interior design. While not on sale in the UK, this car will be available in mainland European markets from early 2017.

Philip Crossman, managing director at Honda UK, commented: “The unveil of the 10th generation Civic at this year's Paris Motor Show continues the journey we started last year with the complete overhaul of our entire range.

“Couple that with the fact the introduction of the new Civic heralds a new era for the plant in Swindon, as it will become the global manufacturing hub for the British-built Civic hatchback, and we are in a fantastic position going forward.”

The Jazz Spotlight Edition will also make its debut at the Paris Motor Show, building on the Honda Jazz Keenlight concept revealed at Geneva earlier this year, and bringing a series of design features to appeal to a more fashion conscious customer.
