You will be blown away by the new 2020 Civic Hatchback, which now combines a European style with the versatility so sought after by a five-door. This car follows in the footsteps of the R-Type Honda Civic.

This vehicle is one of the latest additions to the 10th-generation Civic lineup that has been much talked about, joining the CJA's 2016 Canadian Car of the Year - the Civic Sedan - and the Civic Coupe.

What Style of Honda Civic Hatchback do You Want?

But how to explain this craze and flair for this car? Simply because the 2020 Civic Hatchback pleasantly combines the striking European style and the versatility of a five-door with the originality of a dynamic world-class driving, thanks to the technology of a Honda turbocharged injection engine.

It must be said, the Civic Hatchback is more sporty, sophisticated and high-performance, especially with the many improvements made to the exterior styles of the 2020 Civic Hatchback range, which includes a new style of cases for lower fog headlights, now with a crossbar of the same color as the body. Honda's signature wing grille crossbar has also been updated, and the headlights now have a much sportier treatment. At the rear of the 2020 Honda Civic Hatchback, the lower bumper openings undergo similar front-facing modifications, with a new body-colored crossbar. All trims feature new wheel designs, either dark grey or black. The Hatchback Sport Touring trims also feature improved LED headlights, with wider and significantly longer beams of light.

Even more interesting for power and performance enthusiasts, the new Honda Civic takes advantage of a 1.5-liter turbocharged 16-valve engine (DACT engine), which develops up to 180 horsepower and a maximum of 177 lb-ft of torque (depending on the version), reuniting with the pleasure of driving a racing Civic.

Built on the same world-class platform as the 10th-generation Civic Sedan and Coupe, the new Civic Hatchback offers an attractive combination of sporty styling, efficiency, performance and interior utility with high-class features in both the interior and exterior curves. Inside the 2020 Civic Hatchback, the new dashboard trim distinguishes different trim levels: Sport trims receive a new geometric pattern, while the Sport Touring version gets an exclusive black brush treatment. The Sport pad also adds a driver's seat with 8 assisted settings instead of manual settings. The additions in the Sport Touring version also come with HomeLink. All Civic Hatchbacks also benefit from additional sound insulation in the floor, trunk plus front and rear wings.
