the 2022 honda civic hatchback debuts
for folks who like having a smaller
vehicle but prefer the added utility of
a hatch rather than a sedan the company
says that it expects the body style to
appeal to young active buyers
the front of the civic hatchback adopts
a different grill than the sedan by
incorporating hexagonal openings instead
of the horizontal slats from the four
door
the more significant changes are at the
back
this model looks visually more compact
because the rear overhang and overall
length are 4.9 inches shorter than the
sedan
the civic hatchback wears an arching
roofline that makes it appear sleeker
than the sedan
honda crafts the actual hatchback from a
lightweight composite the taillights
have a bar running the width of the tail
whereas the sedan has separate lamps on
each side
with the hatch up the opening is 1.6
inches wider than the previous gen civic
hatchback
a side pool cargo cover allows for
concealing what's inside
cargo space dropped slightly to 24.5
cubic feet rather than 25.7 cubic feet
for last year's model
inside the 2022 honda civic hatchback's
cabin is pretty much identical to the
sedan's cockpit and that's a good thing
there are the nifty honeycomb pattern
that hides the air vents and we're
impressed by the switch gears quality
the metal trim on the climate control
knobs and window switches are the kind
of upscale touch that lets you forget
the civic is an entry-level car
and if you forgot the civic is the
entry-level honda car now but the fit is
dead
the civic hatchback lx sport and xl
trims will get a 7.0 inch instrument
screen and a 7.0 inch touchscreen
infotainment display
the sport touring enlarges the
instrument monitor to 10.2 inches and
the infotainment to 9.0 inches
unlike the sedan you'll be able to order
the civic hatchback with a six-speed
manual gearbox
it'll be available on the civic sport
trim with a 2.0 liter naturally
aspirated four-cylinder that makes 158
horsepower and 138 pound-feet
the 3-pedal layout will also be a choice
on the 1.5 litre turbocharged
four-cylinder making 180 horsepower and
177 pounds to foot
a cvt is available on all models and is
the only choice on the lx and excel
grades getting this transmission on the
sport or sport touring adds paddle
shifters
