Honda Civic Wagon Concept Looks Beautiful in Geneva [Live Photos]

When Honda says the Civic Wagon or Tourer is a concept, it actually means they haven't finished the interior yet, as the body you see here is pretty much what will roll off the line in Swindon next year.

Following the recent trend for shooting brakes, the first wagon version of the Civic is drop-dead gorgeous, at least by Honda standards. Even if we ignore the glistening white headlights that won't be the same on the production car, the flush door pillars make the side profile look like some sort of Pininfarina concept, not something you use to take the kids to school.

The production version of the Civic Tourer will be in dealerships in early 2014 and will be built alongside the hatchback model in Honda’s production facility in Swindon, Wiltshire. It will be available with the very same choice of four engines, two petrol and two diesel, as the Civic hatch.

We expect the pick of the bunch to be either the economical new 1.6 i-DTEC diesel with 120 PS and 300 Nm or the more powerful 2.2-liter diesel for people who really need to hall…

Honda Civic Tourer Wagon Concept Surfaces, Teases Production Model

Revealing new images of Honda's new Civic Tourer small wagon have surfaced online this meaning, giving the new model an unscheduled unveiling.

Shown here in concept form, the Civic Tourer evolves the look of the still-new Civic Hatch, while adding a unique new D-pillar, a new tail-light design, large alloy wheels and centre-mounted exhaust tips.

The concept is decked out in LED lighting at both ends, and while the headlight and tail-light LEDs could transition to production, the bumper lighting is unlikely to cross over.

Like the new CR-V SUV, the stretched Civic Tourer concept is likely a thinly-veiled preview of the coming production model.

Like the UK-built Civic Hatch, a right-hand-drive version of the wagon is likely, meaning that the only thing keeping it from Australia will be a suitable business case.

Internationally, the Civic Hatch will take on Volkswagen's coming new Golf wagon, along with the wagon versions of Ford's Focus and the Toyota Auris (Corolla in Australia).

Watch for more details on production plans as the Civic Tourer concept makes its Geneva debut this week.
