Honda
The new Honda hatch builds on the all-new 11th-gen Civic revealed earlier this year, with an exterior design inspired by European sportbacks that gives it a little more of a coupe-ish, some might say less hatchback-ish, look. Honda also smoothed the lines overall by changing the hatch structure to reduce the hinge size this latter change also allows the rear door to open even wider (40 millimetres wider), which in turn allows all those young and active drivers to cram even more young and active stuff in.
It’s clearly a Civic, but there are enough cues to distinguish it from the sedan, including the honeycomb-style grille, which is a dead giveaway from the front angle. The car will be available with two new paint options including Boost Blue Pearl and Smoky Mauve Pearl.
