The 150hp engine is cleaner and more powerful, and now complies with Euro-5 emissions standards. The manual version has CO2 emissions of 171g/km, while the automatic is substantially higher at 195g/km.
Honda says it is a much more relaxing car to drive thanks to improved sound-deadening materials around and in the cabin. There are also new fabrics, and a new audio console.
Exterior changes include revised front and rear bumpers and a new grille.
Prices are being announced tomorrow.
