Japanese automaker Honda is all geared up for the Auto Expo 2018 to showcase new products for the Indian market. Autocar India reports that the company will unveil two all-new models at the biggest auto show in the country, and both the products will be launched in India.

The new Honda CR-V will draw power from the 1.6-litre diesel engine from Honda's Earth Dreams series producing 160bhp and 350Nm of torque. Honda will also manufacture the engine in India to keep the costs low as the same engine will be employed in the Civic.
Apart from the CR-V, Honda will also showcase the tenth-gen Civic sedan, and the facelifted avatar of the Civic will be launched in the country in 2019, which is yet to make its public debut. The new Civic will feature sporty design and will certainly attract performance car enthusiasts in the country.
The notable highlight of the new Civic is the faux notchback styling at the rear. The interior of the Civic will receive a makeover and will get additional premium features. The Civic will be offered in both diesel and petrol engine options. The diesel unit is the same 1.6-litre engine of the CR-V SUV.
The petrol version of the Civic will draw power from the 1.8-litre naturally aspirated VTEC engine producing around 140bhp. The petrol engine is expected to be coupled to a manual or automatic gearbox. The new Civic will be launched in the Indian market in 2019.
