As a popular car, Dongfeng Honda Civic is bound to attract the attention of the industry since it is not on the market. Although it is only a month or so before the launch of the new car, as more news of the new car comes out, the Honda Civic hatchback version can still arouse heated discussion, including the recent release of real car pictures.

The current hatchback version of the Honda Civic may no longer surprise netizens, because since the news that the new car will be made at the end of last year, there has been too much relevant information on the Internet. both espionage photos and declaration pictures have shown the "true face" of the new Civic hatchback version. Recently, several sets of real car pictures of the Honda Civic hatchback version circulated by the media show that the new car has arrived at 4S stores all over the country to prepare for the launch of the new car. After all, according to the news a few days ago, Dongfeng Honda hatchback version Civic has accepted the reservation.

Although several groups of pictures circulated this time, some are camouflaged and some are not camouflaged, and for some cases of camouflage, the manufacturers may hope to retain a little sense of mystery, but according to the camouflage situation, it is nothing more than a difference in the model of the car model. for the body shape, it is basically the same as the previous news.

For the first time on the road to see the Civic hatchback version of the real car, compared with the hatchback version, the new car does have a more sports visual styling design, from the only rear layout, the model completely retains the shape of the overseas version, including the installation of a more radical bumper, duckling tail, middle exhaust, lower diffuser and other sports kit foil, which is also not available on the hatchback version. I have to say that Honda's positioning of the Civic hatchback version is relatively accurate, only to meet more sports consumers, in order to achieve market share competition.

According to the current Honda Civic model, it has been replaced ten times since 1972. Although in the previous generation model, Honda Civic has a certain market share in the domestic A-class car market, unlike the tenth generation model, once on the market, it has embarked on the road of "price increase", so that it continues to sell well. Today, it is still a leader in the same level.

Although Civic has encountered increased oil and poor B-pillar test in China Insurance Research, it does not seem to have much impact on Honda Civic models, and sales will soon climb. Perhaps the Ten-Generation Civic is a particularly cool car in the eyes of young consumers. Therefore, in a successful case, Honda once again hopes to consolidate the market through the hatchback Civic.

After all, the current domestic hatchback market has been in an unopened state, with only a few models such as Volkswagen Golf and Ford focus, as well as Mazda 3 Uncaila models, but now they have also been discontinued. So from Honda's launch of hatchback Civic, it may be hoped to seize the hatchback A-class market so as to increase the proportion of Civic models in China under the dual strategy of hatchback and hatchback models. After all, the current Honda Civic has been unable to break through with sales of more than 20,000.

Therefore, with the success of the hatchback version of the Civic, coupled with the existence of the Typer-r "magic car" and the most dynamic blessing of the Civic at the same level, Honda may have more confidence in the hatchback version of the Civic. From the complete retention of overseas radical modeling, and not the continuation of the hatchback version of the design can see Honda's desire, and domestic after this behavior has also been praised by many netizens.

According to Honda's latest sales figures for May, Honda became the only one of the country's top four Japanese brands to decline due to the epidemic, with Honda's sales in China falling 1.7 per cent to 134230 vehicles in May. Among them, Guangzhou Auto Honda sales rose 0.1 per cent to 68696 vehicles in May, while Dongfeng Honda sales fell 3.4 per cent to 65534 vehicles, both suffering varying degrees of decline.

It is worth noting that May this year is still the environment with the highest increase in domestic passenger cars, which means that most mainstream car companies will achieve homeopathic growth next month, while Honda, the Japanese brand with the strongest growth in 2019, went down in May this year, which has to be said to be an unexpected result, and it is also expected whether the new model can also become a new growth point of Honda after its launch.

Although the performance of the domestic hatchback market is not hot, but the current hatchback version of the Civic market focus is still there, and the new car market response will still need to be verified. However, in the view of netizens, as the hatchback Civic modeling is more inclined to the Civic Typer-r, as the model sales catch up with the hatchback version, its modification market will also follow the growth.
