About the Honda Civic Hatchback

Designed for drivers looking for a combination of athleticism and practicality — the dynamic Honda Civic Hatchback delivers an inspired blend of state-of-the-art technology, potent performance capabilities, and eye-catching Euro-influenced styling to help you stand out from the ordinary. As the more youthful counterpart of the award-winning Civic Sedan, the Civic Hatchback is known for its signature swept-back profile that flows seamlessly towards its distinctive rear liftgate. After stepping inside the cabin, you’ll find a selection of advanced connectivity and multimedia functions to keep you informed and entertained on each mile of your journey.

Perfect for those living busy lifestyles, the Civic Hatchback offers a versatile large rear cargo opening in addition to standard 60/40 split folding rear seating. Two individual engine options along with two transmission choices make it effortless to find the right balance of efficiency and performance to match your driving habits. Also standard across the entire model range of Civic Hatchback, Honda Sensing® is a collection of sophisticated driver-assist technologies created specifically to keep you alert and informed.


What the Critics Say

This little Honda hatch has a good amount of performance. The sporty handling lets more spirited drivers actually have some fun rather than feeling soft or disconnected. Usually, these abilities are reserved for the more performance-focused models like the Civic Si and Type R, which tells you how good this car is.” — Edmunds

Comfort and versatility may be strong suits, but interior quality is one of this Honda’s greatest achievements. The low, horizontal dashboard looks timeless and is made of premium soft plastic that puts what you get in some Audis to shame. The climate-control knobs click like the crown of a fancy watch and feel just as expensive, while the joystick-inspired air-vent controls move with scientific precision.” — CNET

Honda Civic Hatchback Performance

Sport-Focused Performance

Helping to instill a connection between driver and machine, the design team at Honda spent countless hours perfecting the responsive handling and athleticism of the Civic Hatchback to match its potent powertrain. Under the hood, you’ll find a standard 158-horsepower 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine paired to a CVT transmission. Searching for more muscle? Upgrade to the optional 180-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged and intercooled DOHC VTEC® 4-cylinder engine and a short-throw 6-speed manual transmission for maximum driver engagement. Compared to its sedan sibling, the Civic Hatchback offers more responsive handling thanks to its lightweight composite hatch, wider rear track, and 4.9-inch shorter length. Due to a reimagined body structure, the latest Civic Hatchback offers a 19% increase in torsional rigidity in comparison to the outgoing version. No other vehicle in its class is able to contend with the remarkable combination of practicality and exciting performance offered by the Honda Civic Hatchback.
