近日国外网站曝光了下一代美规本田思域轿车和轿跑车的多张专利图。从图片看，下一代思域量产版并不像概念版那样富有侵略性，但还是与概念版有很多相似之处，其中Type R版本外观与概念版最接近。思域量产版没有尾翼，但很可能会提供给更高端的Si版本。概念版轿跑车上横贯整个尾部的尾灯组在量产版上得以保留，看起来更有吸引力。而轿车版不仅增加了后门，而且同样保持了向后倾斜的顺滑车顶线条，这使得车辆侧面轮廓更流畅，不过，轿车版的车尾采用飞镖形尾灯组，与轿跑车不同。本田或许会在未来几个月发布新一代思域细节。车厂已经宣布，新一代思域轴距更长，前后悬更短，高度降低，宽度增加。新车将搭载1.5升四缸直喷涡轮增压引擎并搭配换挡行程较短的六速手动变速器或新的CVT变速器。另外，新车还将提供包括前方碰撞警示，车道偏离警示，自适应巡航控制和多角度倒车摄像头等安全和辅助驾驶系统。

Next generation Honda Civic Sedan and Coupe revealed through leaked patent sketches
Several patent design sketches of the next generation Honda Civic Sedan and Coupe have emerged onto the web.

Unsurprisingly, the production cars won't look as aggressive as the concept but as you can see there will be many similarities and there is potential for the Type R version to look very close to the aforementioned concept. There's no rear wing on the production-ready Civics but most likely these will be offered on the more appealing Si variant. The interesting interconnected taillights (of the coupe) have been retained and should look quite interesting in the metal. Despite the additional rear doors, the sedan manages to keep a sloping roofline which enables a sleek design while the boomerang-shaped taillights are not connected like they are on the coupe.

More details about the all-new Civic will probably be released in the months to come to create a buzz until the full reveal. Honda has already announced the new Civic will have a longer wheelbase, shorter overhangs and it will be lower and wider than the outgoing model. It's getting a four-cylinder, 1.5-liter direct-injection turbo engine teamed up to a short-shifting six-speed manual and a new CVT. It will also be available with several safety and assistance systems like Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control as well as a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera.
