Honda Civic (VI Generation)
Honda Civic Type R at Arkhangelskoye Estate (Moscow Region, Russia)
The sixth-generation Honda Civic was produced from 1995 to 2000. It was offered as a 3-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, and 2-door coupe, continuing the tradition of its predecessor. This generation introduced two new 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engines and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) on the HX model. The coupe and sedan were 58 mm longer, while the hatchback was 109 mm longer than the previous generation. This was the last generation of the Civic to feature double-wishbone front suspension.
In Europe, the 5-door Civic replaced the Honda Concerto hatchback, sharing the same design but on the Honda Domani platform. This variant of the Civic was not offered in North America. The sixth-generation Civic hatchback served as the basis for the 5-door Civic Aerodeck wagon for Europe. The Orthia station wagon, based on the Civic sedan and 3-door hatchback, was available in Japan.
The sixth-generation Civic was the first for which Honda released a special European version. The 1995 Rover 400 was also based on the sixth-generation Civic, but the 4-door Rover was different from the Domani.

Update
The Civic’s update included a new grille, new headlights, a new front bumper, fenders, and hood, as well as redesigned taillights. The coupe and sedan models also received minor changes to the lower rear bumper.
Inside, the center console was redesigned. The sliding controls for the heating and air conditioning were replaced with rotary knobs and relocated, making room for a larger radio with a cassette or CD player. Previously, the large ventilation controls limited the size of the radio, necessitating the installation of an additional cassette or CD player in the lower portion of the console.
Changes may vary by country. In some European countries, the climate control controls and rear end of sedans remain the same.
