2023 Honda Civic Hatchback

The 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback's exterior styling is bold and attractive. This car looks modern and sporty with a low, wide stance and sleek profile. It features angular headlights, a bold grille, and an aerodynamic body design that helps to reduce wind resistance. Rounding out the exterior styling is a range of vibrant colors, including Boost Blue Pearl and Rallye Red.

The Civic Hatchback is available in four different trim level options: Sport, EX-L, Sport Touring, and Type R. Each trim offers a unique set of exterior features, such as the Sport's black-finished wheels and side sill garnish or the Type R's red accents and large wing spoiler.

The 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback is powered by either a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The standard 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine produces 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque, while the turbocharged 1.5-liter engine puts out 180 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. This puppy is no slouch, with a zero-to-60 time of just 9.2 seconds. Upgrading to the turbocharged engine gives you even more power, allowing the Civic Hatchback to hit 60 in an impressive 7.4 seconds.

The Civic Hatchback's powertrain options offer more than just speed. A lightweight body and powerful engine give the car agile handling and responsive steering. This is great for driving in the city or on winding mountain roads. Thanks to its refined suspension system, the car also offers a smooth and comfortable ride. Although the sedan is CVT-only, the hatchback offers buyers a choice of the CVT automatic or a six-speed manual transmission for more engaging and performance-oriented driving.

The interior of the Civic Hatchback is well-designed, featuring comfortable seating and modern amenities. The cabin has plenty of legroom and headroom, making it an excellent option for long trips or small families. There is also ample cargo space, with 24.5 cubic feet of room behind the rear seat and a maximum capacity of 46.3 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down.

Standard features include a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, Bluetooth connectivity for streaming audio, and USB ports for charging your devices. Upgrading to a higher trim level can get you a larger nine-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity when using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a built-in navigation system, and a premium Bose audio system.

For the 2023 model year, the Honda Civic Hatchback will come equipped with the Honda Sensing suite of driver-assist technologies. This includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, front automatic emergency braking, and automatic high beams. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are available as optional features. The car also boasts a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
