Honda has revealed the first images of the all-new Civic five-door hatchback, the 11th-generation of the brand’s small car which will be on sale in Australia in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The manufacturer says the all-new Civic hatch offers a coupe-like profile inspired by European sportbacks and builds upon the exterior design direction seen on the 11th-generation Civic sedan.
Honda says by evoking the human-centred cabin design of early generations of Civic, the interior of the new hatch is simple, spacious and uncluttered with exceptional visibility, intuitive ergonomics, and driver-focused technology.
Available at launch with an upgraded version of the current 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo engine, the advanced e:HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) powertrain is set to follow in 2022 and will join the Civic line-up in Australia.
Honda Australia says the Civic continues to be an important nameplate for the brand and the next generation builds on almost 50 years of heritage, delivering the usability, comfort and visual appeal the model is renowned for. It also promises driving enthusiasts an even more dynamic experience, with ride and handling fine-tuned in Europe.
Since its launch in 1972, the Civic series has become a global success that is sold in more than 170 countries, with total sales exceeding 27 million units worldwide.
The all-new Civic hatch is scheduled to go on sale in Australia in the fourth quarter of 2021.
