Compared with Volkswagen, Toyota and other first-line joint venture brands, Honda's layout in the domestic market models are not complete enough, but this does not affect Honda's position in people's minds, if placed in the young people's group, Honda's fans or more than Volkswagen, Toyota, and this is mainly due to the brand's main models such as Accord, CR-V and other main models to bring popularity and audience, however, even if the main models such as Accord, CR-V and other main models have a good audience, but in the hearts of young people, Compared with the Civic, it is still slightly inferior, after all, the Civic is not only a veteran of Honda, but also has become the Internet celebrity car of the times with its cool appearance and performance.

The new generation of Civic sedan version was officially listed in September last year, compared to the previous generation of Civic, this generation of Civic's exaggerated appearance, obviously somewhat restrained, although the car after entering the market after the monthly sales are good, but also many car friends feel that the car lost the original sense of movement, not very able to accept the introverted new Civic sedan version, and then caused greater controversy. In contrast, the Civic hatchback version, which made its global debut in June last year, has a more bloody and sporty shape, which has been unanimously praised by the Chinese people. Not only that, from the pictures of Dongfeng Honda's 2022 introduction plan, we can find that the Civic hatchback version is also impressively listed, that is to say, we still have a great hope to drive this cool and sporty new car, then, let's first take a look at the product power of the car.
In terms of appearance, the front part of the new Civic hatchback version is generally consistent with the sedan version, which is the same concept as the appearance of the Civic hatchback version and the sedan version on sale.

Coming to the side, the upper edge of the window is inlaid with a silver decorative strip, and the decorative strip is ended with a barb on the C-pillar, and then combined with the black rubber strip along the lower edge of the window, the color contrast of the side face is increased. The body part is designed with a multi-line design, with a high waistline above the doorknob that runs from the front to the rear, a mid-waist line that extends from the front wheel brow to the rear wheel brow under the door handle, and a line that extends from the lower left corner of the front door to the opening of the rear door. In addition, the new car also offers two kinds of wheels, namely the double color-block five-spoke type and the more complex design of the multi-spoke wheel, both of which add to the sporty atmosphere of the side face.
At the rear, under the rear windshield is a self-contained spoiler, on both sides of the spoiler you can see the large size of the taillights, below you can see the snuggly long strip of light strips, the light strip and the two sides of the taillights integrated into the formation of a through-through design. The rear bumper is equipped with a black skid plate, and the two sides of the skid plate are inlaid with a total of two exhaust ports on both sides, so that the tail is indeed much more athletic than the new Civic sedan version.
The interior part, the design of the new car and the Civic sedan version is also very similar, the three-frame steering wheel is the same as the center console, all of which are blackened, the 10.2-inch full LCD screen interface is rich in color, the 9-inch LCD central control screen is suspended in the center console, the air conditioner outlet below the penetration, the honeycomb mesh metal decorative strip decoration, the line of sight is moved down, you can see the air conditioning control panel that retains the physical buttons, supporting the driver to operate blindly. In addition, the new car is equipped with honda Connect system, which further improves the atmosphere of technology in the car and also improves the ease of operation.

However, according to the power information displayed by the new Civic sedan version that has entered the domestic market and has been listed, even if the new car is introduced into the domestic market, it should be equipped with the Earth Dream 1.5T engine, matching the CVT gearbox, which has a maximum power of 182 horsepower and 129 horsepower respectively.
However, compared with the Civic sedan version that has been cancelled, the new car may still provide a manual version, after all, compared to the automatic version, friends who play with the car prefer the unique control of the manual transmission. Not only that, according to the current power information revealed by the overseas version of the Civic hatchback, it was found that the new car canceled the low-power version of 129 horsepower, directly equipped with a high-power version of the 1.5T engine, with reference to the pricing of the current hatchback version of the Civic, the starting price of the new model may also be 140,000-150,000 yuan.
