AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/27 Report--

For the domestic automobile market, manual gear has always been the configuration of the entry version of most A-class models, in order to win the favor of consumers through lower prices. However, due to the "belief" of the Honda Civic Type-R model, Honda put the hatchback version of the Civic manual into the sub-top model, which seems to meet the needs of some consumers. On the 27th, the hatchback version of Dongfeng Honda Civic went on sale at a price of 14.39 yuan to 166900 yuan, slightly higher than the hatchback version.

As the Dongfeng Honda Civic has been listed since the ten-generation hatchback version, it has accumulated a lot of potential customers with its appearance and power performance, and the price increase has been carried out as soon as it is listed, and the sales volume continues to remain at about 20,000 units. It is precisely because of this that the hatchback version, which is closer to the Type-R model, did not officially hit the market until two years later.

In appearance, the Civic hatchback version basically follows the overseas hatchback design style, the new car front grille uses full black treatment, the bottom uses a large size trapezoidal air intake design, the overall shape of the body is also closer to the original factory performance version-Civic Type-R modeling, so the localization of the car is more to meet the needs of the pursuit of sports consumer groups.

The side shape is the structure of a hatchback, which looks very compact as a whole. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4517/1799/1434mm and the wheelbase is 2700mm. Depending on the model, the domestic Civic hatchback version offers 16-inch / 17-inch rims.

The tail is undoubtedly the embodiment of the value of the hatchback version of the Civic listing, although the double spoiler is less powerful than the large tail of Type-R, but the hollow design in the middle of the double spoiler can improve the stability of driving. At the same time, the rear bumper is similar to Type-R, which also makes it more athletic.

As for interior decoration, there is not much new in the overall design and details of the new car, which is almost exactly the same as the Civic hatchback, and the cockpit is decorated with all-black colors, supplemented by chrome strips, which also presents a sporty style.

In terms of power, the Civic hatchback version is also equipped with the same 1.5T engine as the hatchback version, with a maximum power of 177hp and a maximum torque of 220Nm, and may match a six-speed manual transmission and a CVT transmission in terms of transmission. However, it is worth noting that the 100km acceleration time of the hatchback model is at most 1 second slower than the hatchback model, and one of the specific reasons is that the hatchback model weighs 45kg, which undoubtedly surprised netizens.

Although the hatchback version came to market late, it has remained a "mystery" because there has been no more news. However, judging from the configuration table after listing, apart from the power details that surprised netizens, this also includes the manual gear that some potential customers look forward to, but it is positioned by Dongfeng Honda as the second top model, unlike the hatchback version as an entry-level model, the price may exceed consumers' expectations.

Regardless of whether the hatchback version of the Civic is closer to Faith or not, the introduction of the new model is more of a choice for Honda to enrich domestic consumers. after all, not long ago, Dongfeng Honda stopped production of its only hatchback model, Jade. So Dongfeng Honda's hatchback Civic will be a continuation of its hatchback car market.
