As of today, the C-segment of station wagons is richer for another seriously spacious, but also distinctly sporty competitor, represented by the Honda Civic Tourer. It boasts exceptional spaciousness, as evidenced by the 624-liter basic trunk and a large amount of flexibility both in the rear and in the passenger cabin. Prices start at 18,990 euros.
With the arrival of the station wagon version, the Civic and the Honda brand in general have a station wagon again for the first time since 1998. This is 23.5 centimeters longer than the five-door version of the civic model, and the entire increase belongs to the overhang behind the rear wheels, i.e. the luggage compartment. The wheelbase, height and width of the vehicle are thus exactly the same as the aforementioned, but despite this, the roof is above average dynamic and slightly sloping towards the rear, and there is now even a bit more room for the passengers' heads inside.

Just like the hatchback version, it also has a special lifting system for the seating part of the seats, which, together with the absence of the fuel tank in this part (it is moved forward towards the first row of seats), enables the use of the entire height of the passenger cabin and the transport of much taller objects. In addition to its flexibility, the Civic Tourer also has a convenient place to store the luggage roller when you don't need it, and to retract the roller when it is in use, all you have to do is press on its edge. In addition, it also has one of the lowest loading edges, measuring only 565 millimeters in height, and the ADS system, which means electronic adjustment of the rear height with the help of sensors that adjust the height of the shock absorbers, is a special feature.
