It’s not near as mean looking as Honda’s other Civic, the Type R Concept, but we guess the all-black theme does add some character of the sinister kind to the new Civic Black Edition that’s on show in Geneva.

European buyers of the regular Civic hatchbacks will be able to tick the option box for the Black Edition package beginning from this May.

What they will get is gloss black front aprons, side skirts, rear spoiler and a rear bumper garnish together with integrated covers for the side mirrors, a gloss black fuel lid cover with Civic logo and an aluminum badge placed on the deck lid.

To complete the look of the car, as seen in the pictures, you’ll have to dig a bit deeper inside your pockets for the optional 18-inch “Nitrogen” alloy wheels in a matte gunpowder black finish and a carbon-look center cap.
