On the heels of the Geneva Motor Show 2016, Carscoops have managed
to get the images of the Honda's new Civic Hatchback which is doing the
rounds online. The hatchback is expected to be showcased at the motor
show.
The low-resolution images reveal body kit that gives more
aggressive looking bumpers, side skirts, lime green accents and chunky
alloy wheels. The design has clues from the Honda Civic Saloon and coupe
models with the evident cues of the front and rear ends.
The idea behind the 2017 Civic Hatchback gives the feeling of a dynamic
stance of the car even with the differentiated rooflines and smaller
footprint of the hatch.
For the European customers, Honda has confirmed the specification, the
hatchback will be offered in two VTEC turbocharged engines with the
capacity of 1.0 litre and 1.5 litre. The North American customer will,
however, receive a more powerful engine which will come with 1.5 litre
and 2.0 litre, both turbocharged VTECs.
The hatchback will compete with the likes of Volkswagen Golf GTI
and Ford Focus ST. The Civic hatch could possibly punch out 230bhp of
the de-tuned Type R's 2.0 litre engine. The car will be manufactured at
Honda's Swindon factory of Britain.
The images look more of a production car than a concept which is awaited
to be showcased at the Geneva Motor Show. Honda will be up for a launch
and take on some of the fastest hatchbacks in town.
India will be looking forward to the Civic, however, it could be in the
form of a sedan and not a hatchback. Honda has discontinued the Civic
back in 2012 and there has been no word on its rejuvenation. The
Hatchback variant of the Civic would fuel speculation that the company
could launch it sometime in the near future.
