Hello and Welcome to Our Studio Today!
We're back with another exciting installment of our series, where we get to explore the latest additions to the iconic Honda Civic lineup. And what better way to kick off this special segment than by introducing you to the newest addition – the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback! As fans of the 11th generation Civic, we've been eagerly awaiting this moment, and we're thrilled to share our thoughts on this latest iteration with you.
Inspiration from Euro Sportbacks
When it comes to the exterior design of the 2022 Civic Hatchback, Honda has clearly drawn inspiration from the sleek lines of European sportbacks. Upon closer inspection, we can see that the standard 2022 sedan serves as a starting point, and from there, Honda injects a bit of sportiness and added utility to create this new hatchback model. One of the first noticeable changes is the lengthened hood, which gives the car a more aggressive stance. Additionally, the face of the vehicle has been subtly modified compared to its sedan counterpart, resulting in a more aerodynamic profile. Furthermore, Honda has taken care to maintain a tight rear overhang, ensuring that the hatchback maintains its stability and agility.
New Colors on the Block
For those who may have missed it, Honda has introduced two new colors for the 2022 Civic Hatchback – Boost Blue Pearl and Smoky Mauve Pearl. Both colors are truly stunning, with Boost Blue Pearl being a particular standout due to its vibrant hue. On the other hand, Smoky Mauve Pearl provides a more subdued yet equally attractive option. As for fans of Electron Blue Pearl, we can't help but feel a pang of nostalgia – perhaps it's time Honda considers bringing this color back into the fold?
Interior Design: Same Great Bits, New Updates
When it comes to the interior design of the 2022 Civic Hatchback, Honda has once again done a great job in delivering a space that's both functional and comfortable. The same honeycomb treatment that we've come to love in previous Civic models is still present here, complemented by minimal cut lines and a smartly designed space that makes for an enjoyable driving experience. A small glass panel backed by the C-pillar provides added visibility, while more rear leg and headroom compared to the sedan ensure that passengers have ample room to stretch out. One of the most exciting updates, however, is the inclusion of a body stabilizing seat on all trims – Honda's promise of increased comfort on longer rides seems well-heeded in this regard.
The Hatchback Advantage
Now, let's talk about what really sets the 2022 Civic Hatchback apart from its sedan counterpart. For one thing, manual transmission enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that this model is available with a standard two-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque on the LX and Sport trims. Furthermore, those looking for more power can opt for the Ex-L and Sport Touring models, which come equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that churns out 180 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque.
CVT: A Familiar Friend
While the manual transmission is certainly a highlight, Honda has also kept its commitment to CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) intact across all trim levels on the hatchback. This means that drivers can still enjoy the smooth, seamless shifting experience that comes with this technology. Additionally, the Sport mode that allows for driver-selectable throttle mapping and shift points adds an extra layer of engagement to the driving experience.
Chassis Tuning: Fun, Stability, and Enthusiasm
Honda's mantra when it comes to chassis tuning is clear – the 2022 Civic Hatchback should be stable yet lively, capable of putting a smile on the faces of enthusiastic drivers while still maintaining poise underfoot. To achieve this balance, Honda has made sure to incorporate key design elements such as MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. The resulting car is one that can navigate corners with confidence, while also delivering an engaging driving experience.
Pricing: A Steal
As for pricing, we don't have the exact figures just yet, but if past models are any indication, this shouldn't be too expensive of a proposition. For those who want to get a feel for what's available in previous generations, Honda has made it easy by posting the specs and features on Autotrader – why not check them out and see what you think? It's likely that this model will still hold its value well, making it an attractive option for those looking for a reliable ride.
A New Chapter for Honda
Last but certainly not least, we'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the milestone that the 2022 Honda Civic represents – 35 years of engineering excellence and dedication to creating vehicles that put drivers and passengers at the forefront. With this new addition to the lineup, Honda continues to prove its commitment to innovation and quality. We can't wait to see what the future holds for this incredible model!
