PACKS MORE THAN A PUNCH

With a sporty design and innovative silhouette, the Civic Hatchback is guaranteed to get attention on the road and in your driveway. Its aggressive stance is boldly complemented by a distinctive body-coloured rear roofline spoiler and an available dual centre exhaust with chrome finisher. The available 18" aluminum-alloy wheels and the available stylish skirt package will catch eyes and turn heads. Plus, with the available LED headlights and a standard multi-angle rearview camera, you can keep a closer watch on your surroundings. Step into the Civic Hatchback and you’ll surely stand out.

If you’re impressed with its look, just wait until you see what’s inside. Not only does the Hatchback boast a striking exterior, but it also offers progressive versatility with best-in-class cargo space.1 With the convenient 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback, packing in whatever you need will be a breeze. The Hatchback comes equipped with heated front seats and available heated rear seats that help make the sometimes unbearable Canadian winters a little more, well, bearable. In addition, the cargo cover can be easily retracted to give you more options when filling up the back. Who knew practicality could look so good?

UPDATES

• Civic is the best-selling car in Canada for 21 years running

The 2020 Honda Civic Hatchback returns with updated exterior styling and new interior trim!

Exterior and Interior Updates

Exterior styling refinements to the 2020 Civic Hatchback lineup include revised styling of the lower bumper fog light housings, which now feature a body-color crossbar. The Honda-signature "wing" grille crossbar is also updated, and the headlights now feature a sporty blackout treatment.

In the rear, the lower bumper openings receive similar changes to the front, with a new body-color crossbar. All trims feature new wheel designs, in either dark gray or black. Sport Touring trims also benefit from improved LED headlights with wider and longer light beams.

Inside the 2020 Civic Hatchback, new dash trim differentiates various trim levels, with Sport trims receiving a new geometrical pattern and Sport Touring an exclusive brushed black treatment. The Sport trim also adds an 8-way power driver's seat in place of manual adjustments. Sport Touring trims also now come with HomeLink®. All Civic Hatchbacks also benefit from additional sound insulation in the floor, trunk, and front and rear fenders.

This year's changes build on model year 2019 changes, which included the addition of the Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assistive systems as standard equipment on all trims, and multiple usability updates. Enhancements to technology and connectivity included an updated Display Audio system with physical buttons and a volume knob, improved voice recognition and Bluetooth®, upgraded steering wheel controls for simplified operation, and physical buttons for fan speed on models with dual-zone climate control. Other changes included a new center console cup holder that better holds larger beverages, and an updated electronic parking brake with an indicator light.

Sport and Sport Touring Trims

The Civic Hatchback Sport receives new seat upholstery unique to Sport trims, and a new embossed dash trim similar to what's found on the Sport trim introduced last year for Civic Sedan. For the line-topping Sport Touring trim HomeLink® is also standard.

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS

The Honda Civic Hatchback has made a triumphant return, showing up all other similar models in its class with sexy & sleek styling, a larger more comfortable and spacious interior and a feature-packed dashboard any tech junkie would be proud to own! When comparing the Civic Hatchback to the competition, it wins by a long shot with performance, fuel efficiency, safety, interior space & style. Models like the Mazda Mazda3 Hatch and Hyundai Elantra GT Preferred fall short in comparison to the award winning Honda Civic Hatch.
