The 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback is one of the most popular and most searched cars of the year. But is it really worth all the hype? Check out our 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback review and decide if it is really a car to buy or not.
Exterior and Interior
Honda has left behind the futuristic spaceship aesthetic of the previous Civic Hatchback. The 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback is now three centimeters longer but 6 kilos less than the previous generation Civic. It also has a more aggressive look which is a declaration of intentions and of dynamism.
These changes have a lot to do with the brand focusing on the US market for the commercialization of the new generation of its compact star. It seems that the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback is already succeeding as the guys at CarandDriver and other auto sites are giving it a near-perfect score.
One of the first impression one would get with the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback is that now there is more comfort and relief in the rear seats. The trunk is huge as well for this category with 478 liters. Next thing to notice is that the driver is now 3.5 centimeters closer to the asphalt. A new suspension, lower center of gravity, and increased body rigidity contribute to the compact model being more dynamic and ultimately achieving a high degree of comfort.
The complex dashboard look had also already disappeared and now one can find in the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback a customizable digital speedometer and an infotainment monitor with a neat and modern appearance according to Autoblog
Mechanical and Power
But the new era begins under the hood of the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback. The new block of gasoline with turbo engine can produce around 182 HP which reflects the tradition of Honda when it comes to stretching the laps. Already from the idle, the 1.5 liter turns without breath until 6,600 revolutions.
The direction with variable multiplication, derived from the one used in the NSX, is balanced and communicative. It is inserted with more vigor and the chassis has a firm taring, but also filters effectively. And by its touch, it is clear that the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback aspires to be one of the most dynamic compact in the market.
The offer of versions, when it starts to be sold in early 2017, will be somewhat scarce: The new 1.0 and 1.5 VTEC gasoline, and the familiar 1.6 i-DTEC. Later that year, the 1.0 VTEC petrol three-cylinder that has 127 hp power and 200 Nm of torque, and the 1.5 VTEC four-cylinder engine with 180 hp and 240 Nm, are said to arrive.
In conclusion, the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback is indeed one of the best cars this year. It will make you forget about its Sedan counterpart and is an awesome car while people wait for the Type R.
