We were already aware of Honda’s intentions to host the world premiere of the production Civic Tourer at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, but today, the Japanese brand told us that it would also debut the facelifted version of the European market Civic hatchback.

While no imagery was released, Honda stated that the five-door will feature “exterior and interior design refinements” without elaborating further. Both the refreshed hatchback and the new estate version of the Civic will be built at Honda’s UK manufacturing factory with sales to begin in early 2014.

Joining these two important models for Honda’s European operations will be the NSX Concept II that was shown first in Detroit this past January and then in Geneva in March, a McLaren Honda MP4/4 Heritage F1 Car with a 1500cc V6 twin-turbo engine from 1988, and the Civic racer from the 2013 FIA World Touring Car Championship.
