Honda has announced that its UK production plant will be the global production center for the next Civic five-door hatchback. The company has pledged £200 million ($295 million) of investment for this UK plant.
Following that announcement, Honda of North America has now announced that the Civic hatchback which the US will receive will be imported from the UK.
“This significant announcement demonstrates the opportunity available to the Swindon operation and reinforces the quality and reliability of the product coming from our UK facility,” said Philip Crossman, managing director of Honda UK.
Currently, around 40,000 Civics are built at HUM with production of other Honda models, currently made in Swindon, being transferred elsewhere in the coming months.
It is estimated that Honda will produce about 120,000 Civics per year in the town, with export to split between Europe gateways and the rest of the world.
As we've posted before, this means that the US will receive the next gen Civic coupe, sedan, and hatchback (5-door) models, as well as the Si and Type-R versions.
