If you've been following TopSpeed the past few months, then you already know the 2014 Paris Motor Show->ke227 is mostly about concept cars->ke169 and cool sports cars->ke506. The Toyota C-HR concept, the Infiniti Q80 Inspiration, the Ferrari 458 Speciale Spider, the Mercedes AMG GT and the new-generation Mazda Miata->ke1185 are all set to make their global debut on French soil. But Paris is also about regular cars, and, more importantly, about vehicles that we're not likely to get here in North America. One of them is the updated version of the Euro-spec Honda Civic, which the old continent gets in both hatchback->ke304 and wagon styles. What's more, the folks across the pond are also receiving a brand-new trim with their Civic hatch, namely the Civic Sport.

Don't worry though, Honda->ke34 isn't launching a souped-up version of the Civic just yet. That honor is still reserved for the Type R moniker. The Sport model is just the Japanese company's way of saying "here, have sportier looking Civic until we come up with a brand-new Type R." Nevertheless, we'd still like for Honda to start selling the Civic->ke236 hatch in the U.S. as well. But until that happens, let's have a closer look at the newly introduced Sport version.

Honda Civic Sport in detail

The Civic Sport isn't a big deal as far as aesthetics go, but it's still a nice model to have if you're looking for something a bit more aggressive without having to pay the premium coming with such cars. Aside from the new bumpers, redesigned headlamps with integrated DRLs, and side skirts that come with the updated Civic, the Sport also gets a body-colored rear spoiler and exclusive, 17-inch alloy wheels. That might not seem like much, but Honda added two more bits to help the Sport stand out in a crowd. The new front bumper gets a more aggressive design and lower grille mesh, while the roof benefits from black lining.

Inside, updates are limited to the ones operated across the entire Euro-spec Civic lineup. These include new fabrics and stitching for the seats, new door trims with chrome door handles, a black control panel, and Honda's all-new Connect in-car infotainment system. Additionally, the company's City-Brake Active (CTBA) system, which uses radar technology to scan the road ahead, is offered as a standard feature.

The disappointing part comes under the hood, where the Civic Sport is fitted with a couple of regular engines. Customers can choose between the 118-horsepower, 1.6-liter diesel mill or the 140-pony, 1.8-liter, gasoline powerplant. Not exactly sporty if you ask us, but hey, some drivers are happy with a fancier bumper and a new spoiler.
