The sixth generation Honda Civic is an automobile
produced by Honda from 1995 to 2000. It was introduced in 1995
with 3-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, and 2-door coupe body styles, replicating
the line-up of its predecessor. The sixth-generation Civic featured two new
1.6-liter 4-cylinder engines and a new continuously variable transmission (CVT)
on the HX model. The coupe and sedan are 2.3 inches (58 mm) longer and the
hatchback is 4.3 inches (109 mm) longer than the previous generation Civic. It
was the last generation of Civic to feature front double wishbone suspension,
as the upcoming seventh generation would replace the front suspension with
MacPherson struts.
In Europe, the Honda Concerto hatchback was also offered as
a 5-door hatchback. This model used the same design language as the rest of the
Civic range but was essentially a hatchback version of the Honda Civic, sharing
the car’s platform derived from the previous generation (EG/EH/EJ) Civic. had

sedan version of the Concerto was directly replaced by the sixth-generation
Civic sedan in other markets. Two wagons were also made available. Based on the
JDM Artia, a Civic sedan/3-door hatchback line, and a 5-door hatchback/Domini-based model for Europe, sold as the Civic Aerodeck. Neither variant is offered

Rover 400, although the 4-door sedan version of the Rover was completely
different from the Domani.
