The All-New 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback

You’ve narrowed down your choice. You want a spacious, sexy, yet not too flashy car that does everything you desire. Luckily, the all-new 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback is available. It’s not the first incarnation of this attractive automobile, but it may be the one that everyone puts on their Christmas list. Here’s just a sneak peek at everything this car has to offer.

Under the Hood

Under the hood, the new Civic sports a direct-injection, turbocharged 174-horsepower, 1.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine, which comes with a standard continuously variable transmission (CVT). For the driving purist, the Civic Hatchback has an available six-speed manual transmission that provides swift acceleration and a more wholesome driving experience. Honda has yet to release specific speed numbers for the vehicle, but expect it to go from zero-to-60 in under seven seconds.

Superb Exterior Looks

One of the most appealing facts of the Civic Hatchback is its attractive exterior. It has sleek, sophisticated curves, and a body that demonstrates the five-door car’s sporty underpinnings. Unlike other compact hatchbacks in the industry, the Civic has a unique look that’s not just a clone of the same old thing. Added LED lights and a fresh take on the front and rear fasciae top off the appearance. If you’re looking for something that’ll turn heads and offer some curb appeal, there’s no reason to overlook the Civic Hatchback.

Excellent Cabin Features

When you hop into the cockpit of the Civic, you’ll immediately see the amazing amenities that have been added for the 2017 model year. It starts off with an appealing 7-inch color touchscreen display, which puts your favorite podcasts, radio stations, and streaming music just a touch away. With Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth, you can also sync up your favorite mobile device, providing an easy way to access navigation or other helpful driving apps. These features come standard on the Civic Hatchback, and upper trim levels will come with even more sumptuous options like heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and premium leather.

Top-Notch Safety Features

If you value modern active safety features, the Civic Hatchback is sure to please. Four of the five trim levels will offer the available Honda Sensing safety package, while the highest trim will throw it in at no extra charge. With Honda Sensing, you’ll get some of the top safety features in the industry including adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, and lane-keeping assist. With these amenities, you’ll have an added layer of protection that keeps you out of an accident altogether.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have yet to review the Civic Hatchback, but with the same offerings of its sedan and coupe siblings, expect it to get the highest rating possible.

When it all boils down, the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback is an attractive little ride with all the bells and whistles. The only thing you’ll have to decide is when you’re bringing it home. Don’t hesitate; be the envy of the neighborhood with this deceptively powerful car.
