New Honda hatchback concept for China leaked in patent drawings

Not too sure how close this is going to be to the Hatchback we get here in North America....

The front-end features a Honda CR-Z inspired face with sleek LED headlamps, large hexagonal grille.

The rear-end starts to draw design cues from the latest Civic, with boomerang LED taillight that runs across the rear profile and a new bumper.

Looks different from the Civic sedan.
Leaked patent images have revealed the exterior design of a Honda hatchback concept that will be exclusive to the Chinese market.

The exterior design appears to be significantly different to the 2016 Honda Civic sedan sold in the U.S., featuring a Honda CR-Z inspired face with sleek LED headlamps, large hexagonal grille in the bumper, sporty intakes and a contoured hood. The rear-end starts to draw design cues from the latest Civic, with boomerang LED taillights that run across the rear profile and a new bumper. The design seems to adopt a fastback approach.

The production-spec model will likely comprise of the 1.0-liter and 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo engines. Reports suggest that the smaller 1.0-liter unit will be capable of producing 127 PS and 200 Nm, and paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox, while the output figures of the 1.5-liter engine could be identical to the U.S.-spec Civic: 174 hp and 220 Nm.

Honda is currently prepping the Honda Civic hatchback for European markets, which will go on sale in early-2017. The production version is expected at the Geneva Motor Show next month.
