We learned from relevant channels that Guangqi Honda HatchBACK (hatchback version) is expected to be listed within the year, and the listing time is expected to be in the fourth quarter of this year. The new car can be seen as a sister model of the Civic HATCHBACK, and the dual-vehicle strategy (one car, two sales) will also increase Honda's coverage and overall sales in China to achieve better revenue. In addition to hatchBACK, GAC Honda will also launch a new SUV model during the year.
As a HATCHBACK model, the hatchback is the same as the overseas version of the new Civic HATCHBACK, with a more sporty hatchback design. However, in terms of styling details, it will be distinguished from Dongfeng Honda's new Civic HATCHBACK to highlight its own recognition.
The power part, hatch HATCHBACK, will launch fuel and hybrid versions respectively, of which the fuel version is expected to be equipped with a high and low power version of the 1.5T engine, the transmission part, matching the 6-speed manual and CVT transmission. The hybrid version is equipped with an i-MMD hybrid system consisting of a 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle engine and dual motors. Transmission section, mated to the E-CVT gearbox.
