2022 Honda Civic Hatchback revealed with stick shift and sporty styling

The 2022 Honda Civic hatchback will be available with a six-speed manual transmission when it goes on sale later this year. The five-door model is based on the new Civic sedan.

Four trim levels – EX, Sport, EX-L and Sport Touring – will be offered. As with the Civic sedan, the four-door hatch will be available with either a 158 hp 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder or a 180 hp 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. Both come standard with a CVT automatic transmission, but the manual is optional on the Sport and Sport Touring trims. Along with its coupe-like roofline and shorter tail, the hatchback features a slightly different front end design than the sedan's to give it more of its own personality. The cargo area has a 25-cubic-foot capacity with the rear seats up, compared to the 15-cubic-foot trunk on the sedan. Although it is shaped differently, the hatchback has a larger cargo volume than Honda's HR-V subcompact SUV.
