2017 Honda Civic Hatchback Production <br /> <br />It's been a long time since Honda offered a Civic hatchback in the U.S. market—2005 saw the demise of the seventh-generation Civic Si hatch. Since then, a few things have changed: three-door hatchbacks have nearly disappeared from our market, supplanted by five-doors that often include a serious performance variant. Honda's latest Civic answers to both trends: Meet the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback, the first five-door Civic to be sold in the U.S. in decades, and the basis for the upcoming, hotly-anticipated Civic Si and Type-R. <br /> <br />For the most part, the new 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback is mechanically analogous to the 10th-generation sedan and coupe already plying America's streets. That means the same 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four murmurs under the hood, spinning the same transmissions as in the two- and four-door, either a six-speed manual or a CVT. The wheelbase is unchanged at 106 inches; overall length is 4.3 inches less than the sedan, while the roofline rises 0.8 inches higher. <br /> <br />Five trim lines are available, in increasing order of swank: LX, Sport, EX, EX-L Navi, and Sport Touring, the gray model shown in these photos. The six-speed manual is available only on LX or Sport models. Sport and Sport Touring examples make 180 horsepower, an increase of six over the rest of the lineup; torque, 162 lb.-ft. for all CVT models, rises to 167 in a stick-shift LX, and 177 in a Sport with the manual gearbox. If you need a spreadsheet to keep track of all this, you're not alone. <br /> <br />2017 Honda Civic Hatchback Production, <br />2017 Honda Civic Hatchback, <br />Honda Civic Hatchback , <br />2017 Honda Civic , <br />2017 Honda , <br />Honda Civic Hatchback Production, <br />2017 ,Honda ,Civic ,Hatchback ,Production
