2022 Honda Civic Hatchback, Features, Performance, and Interior

March 29, 2022 Steve Jones

You may be aware that you require a hatchback. But if you don’t, this one will persuade you otherwise. For ultimate comfort, it boasts a large touchscreen display for entertainment and networking, as well as dual-zone temperature control and heated seats. You may travel with all of your loved ones, or you can fold down the second row to transport practically any luggage.

You get incredible maximum horsepower and economy, as well as paddle shifters, two gearbox options, and more.

DESIGN

Because it’s a hatchback, the car’s rear profile is much more slanted than its sedan brothers. Honda claims to have shifted the trunk’s hinge mechanism outward by 50mm, lowering the roof height. The hatch has a slightly concave, distinctive grille mesh design to set it apart from the sedan. Due to a reduced rear overhang and overall length, the hatch loses 4.9 inches in length over the sedan. Haters of the 10th-generation Civic will be relieved to see that the new Civic’s more subdued design language works nicely in a hatchback.

FEATURES

Apple CarPlay or Android Auto can be used to connect your phone. On your drive, you may utilize your favorite texting, music, and navigation applications.

A first for Civic is the new 12-speaker Bose premium sound system. It is equipped with Centerpoint surround-surround technology, which allows you to fully immerse yourself in the music.

For you and your front passenger, dual-zone temperature control is the finest option. You may each set your temperature and, if necessary, sync them.

The HondaLink app keeps you in constant contact with your vehicle. You may look up your mileage, fuel range, and oil life, as well as scheduled servicing.

As long as you have the key fob in your hand, the car locks automatically using walk-away auto-lock. It may be unlocked simply by snagging one of the door handles.

PERFORMANCE

With two engines to choose from, this Honda is fully stocked and ready to go. The turbocharged engine produces 180 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. The 2.0-liter engine produces 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. The 6-speed manual transmission is pleasant to drive and shifts quickly. The driver information interface is simple to use and has customizable gauges.

INTERIOR

The cabin is created with all types of people in mind. The leather-trimmed cabin adds a touch of class to an already exceptional driving experience. The chairs are also made of a strong material that won’t wrinkle. For ultimate comfort, the driver’s seat may be adjusted in eight different ways. On the coldest days, the heated front seats will keep you warm and comfortable. When the weather is beautiful, open the power moonroof. Then everyone may enjoy the fresh air and breathtaking views of the sky.

SAFETY

The Honda Sensing suite has been enhanced for the Civic Hatchback, and now includes collision mitigation braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and more.
