Leaked: Honda Civic Tourer Wagon Concept Drops Ahead of Geneva

The Honda Civic hasn’t offered  a hatchback model in the U.S. for two generations now, and we last saw a wagon body style stateside in the 1980s with the Civic Wagovan. To rub that in U.S. wagon-lovers’ faces, Honda will bring a Civic Tourer wagon concept to the Geneva show this week, which it says “provides strong cues of the final mass produced version.” It’s a safe bet that the production model won’t make it to our shores, but at least we can admire the concept from afar through these leaked images.
The pictures, which have been making the rounds on the web, show the concept retains the European Civic’s basic front end shape, but adds LED accent lights and unique bodywork. The photos also reveal the Civic Tourer’s invisible D-pillar and sharply raked rear glasshouse. The taillights appear to feature LEDs, and the rear bumper is finished with a sculpted central dual exhaust.
Reports suggest the Civic wagon will go on sale in Europe by the end of the year, offering the Euro-spec hatchback model’s range of gasoline and diesel engines, but with a focus on the new 1.6-liter turbodiesel I-4. The Civic Tourer concept takes the stage later this week in Geneva, but don’t expect the car to land in the U.S. anytime soon.
Should Honda offer the wagon variant in the U.S.? Tell us in the comments below.
