Honda Civic Hatchback

With a copiously spacious and versatile interior, the cabin blends high-quality materials with practical design and layout. The ergonomics are sound and scientific with comfortable seats and a great driving position, powered by various seating adjustments that are easy to understand and operate. The volume knob and physical controls for most climate control functions are super cool.

The base interior specification of the Civic Hatch is black-cloth upholstered seats for the LX, Sport, and EX models, while Sport Touring gives users a choice between the range of black leather and a combination of black/ivory leather surfaces paired with the White Orchid and Polished Metal exterior hue. Usually, the dash is black with silver highlights. The key touchpoints are soft-touch in nature.

Civic Hatch also provides 25.7 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats, where you can easily keep large travelling suitcases or grocery shopping. The two-tiered centre storage binnacle provides a pass-through for a charging cable, and the under-armrest storage bin is quite massive. The cup-holders are well-proportioned and are deep as well.

Honda Civic Hatchback portrays similar exterior design cues compared to its sharp-edged coupe and sedan brethren, with key features differentiating in various trims. The LX features 16-inch wheels, while the EX and EX-L Navi boast 17-inch wheels, and the Sport and Sport Touring feature 18-inch black alloys.

The bright and powerful front fog-lights and halogen headlights are a standard while the Sport Touring receives full LED headlights clusters. A well-designed power sunroof is also added to the bonnet to protect the riders from the scorching summer heat.

Honda presents a range of seven strong colour palettes for the Civic Hatchback. Available on all trims and at no extra cost, users can choose from a range of metallic finishes in Polished Metal, Lunar Silver,  and Aegean Blue, or opt from three pearl finishes in Sonic Gray, White Orchid, and Crystal Black. Alternatively, the gloss-finish Rallye Red looks exceptional and complements the sporty body styling and black accents of the Sport and Sport Touring trims.

All-new Civic Hatchback introduces an enticing driving dynamic that is infused into the base of the car. Once the initial excitement of turbocharged acceleration subsides, the delight of a light chassis continues to thrill. The creamy fluidity of the vehicle through the winding road never lets the riders tire out. Changing direction takes place swiftly and without much fuss, supported by an abundance of grip and minimal body roll. Steering responses are exceptionally brilliant.

All-new Civic Hatchback comes with a turbocharged 1.5-litre engine, which allows the engine performance to be consistently brilliant. With either the six-speed manual or CVT transmission, users can expect an acceleration of 0-60 mph from the front-wheel of the car in 0.65 seconds, which is well-supported by the badge on the tail.

A turbocharged Earth Dreams four-cylinder engine powers all the variants of Civic Hatchback. In its usual state of tune, it creates 174 horsepower and 219 Nm of torque. However, the Sport and Sport Touring get a bump in power to 180 horsepower overall. The Sport trim with a manual gearbox gets a bump in the torque as well, adding an extra 20 Nm to take the total to around 240 Nm. The CVT transmission is one of the best of its kind, responding superbly to the turbocharged torque and seamlessly manages the boost for high performance.

Honda Civic Hatchback offers a great level of safety than previous iterations. The new Civic Hatchback comes with adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, collision mitigation braking, and road departure mitigation. This adds further safety to the standard safety equipment which includes six airbags in the form of dual front airbags, side-impact airbags, and side curtain airbags with rollover sensors.

Honda Hatchback will never fail to amaze you. It has won the Best Buy Compact Car 2019, and it stays true to its expectations. Honda Civic Hatchback is undoubtedly the most enjoyable combination of comfort and driver involvement in the midsize hatchback segment. Civic is a practical masterpiece with comprehensive lists of safety features and convenience equipment, a spacious, well-appointed cabin, and generous cargo volume. It is the ideal car to go for a long drive with friends on the weekend or a short family trip.
