Honda has cut the entry-grade, petrol-powered Civic for 2025 while introducing a range of new technologies and a new, more affordable hybrid-powered e:HEV L variant. All future grades – excluding the Type R – to be offered exclusively with petrol-electric hybrid running gear.

Three-variants available comprising entry level Vi X, new mid-spec e:HEV X hybrid, and the e:HV:L hybrid, all with price cuts. Each grade scores a raft of ADAS, interior and exterior specification upgrades.

Sleek eleventh gen’ Honda Accord sedan arrives with 2.0-litre petrol hybrid only and CVT at drive away pricing. All-multi-link suspension, four driver selectable modes, three powertrain settings, controllable six setting regen’ braking.

Available in a seven-variant petrol-only range with drive away pricing includes a range topping hybrid e:HEV RS model with dual electric motors and a petrol mill. More tech, safety and style than before and a choice of five- and seven-seat config’ plus option of two- or all-wheel drive.

One of the hottest hot hatches, the Civic Type R remains front-wheel drive and manual, cranking out 235kW from a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four. Said to be a sharper tool than the outgoing model in all areas but up against serious AWD competition for similar money. Price jumps alarmingly to $72,600 drive-away

Might make it here this month with a 2.0-litre petrol-electric powertrain to become the first electrified variant in Honda’s small-car range since 2015. Pricing expected to top the $47K petrol VTi-LX. 

Honda CR-V editions, Black and VTi7+Luxe should keep the pot boiling until a new gen’ CR-V next year. Defined by black paint and more kit, they’re $43,700 for Luxe and $44,600 for Black D/A.

Honda is launching two variants of its new, more spacious HR-V – the entry-level Vi X (powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine) and the e:HEV L – a dual-motor petrol-electric hybrid.

Honda has repositioned the Civic as a niche, more upmarket model. To that end, the brand offers its newcomer in just one grade and one body style. Enter the VTi-LX five-door hatchback.

Honda has made its Civic Type R even more capable thanks to updated adaptive damping, stiffer suspension bushings, bigger brakes and more efficient engine cooling.

Honda has updated its CR-V with new styling front and rear, more standard kit and more safety tech across the range, espeically on the turbocharged 1.5-litre models which score the Honda Sensing safety suite.

Honda is sticking with the Accord as its flagship passenger car in Australia, launching the long-anticipated new-generation model in upmarket fashion from $47,990 plus on-road costs.

Honda is set to refresh the Civic small sedan with minor tweaks inside and out while expanding its suite of advanced driver-assist systems to more variants.

Honda's facelifted HR-V small SUV will usher in standard low-speed autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and a sporty RS grade.

The seven-seat Honda Odyssey has received a handful of small updates for 2018, with the Japanese people-mover to start from $37,990 for the entry-level VTi.
