The Honda Civic Hatchback Prototype that’s headed to the 2016 Geneva Motor Show next week has been leaked online. These photos, posted by CarScoops, finally reveal the 10th-generation Civic’s hatchback form, featuring a sloping rear hatch a short rear overhang.
You can ignore the Prototype tag – it’s there because the new Honda Civic Hatchback isn’t due to go on sale in Europe until early 2017. Other than that, you’re pretty much looking at the real deal, save for a few show car bits and pieces.
This semi-aggressive look most likely previews the upcoming Civic Type S, which is rumoured to be re-positioned to take on the likes of the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Ford Focus ST. If so, it will slot under the full-fledged Golf R, Focus RS-rivalling Civic Type R.
Honda has already confirmed that the standard Civic Hatchback will arrive in Europe with 127 hp/200 Nm 1.0 litre and 201 hp/260 Nm 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo engines. As with the US-market sedan, expect the hatch to be offered with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a CVT.

The designers so lazy . Only change the rear. I dun know how many hondas will use same front after this!!!!
Copied feom gen-2 I guess
To tell your guess is fallacious.
OMG…u better go for eye operation…
AS above tq
Awesome. I want one or two!!! Now pls price it at Rm 105k, pls.
Perfect for my bad a$$ style because I’m the A$$man.
105k? Cannot even buy the New Perdana
That rear is awesome! One of the best rear designs of a sloping roof rear hatchback.
If proton wants to facelift the suprima, please make this Honda rear design as its benchmark.
Gen2 said gimme back my rear
Same lorr! What Toyota got? Yaris Type Y? So scare to compete against rivals,just look for cheap category & worldwide quantity.
Aiyo…! I will pawn my balls for one if this hatch come to our market! The designer is damn awsome
Rear like Ford Focus hatchback
are you blind? ford focus’ rear is so much better
Awesome, hope it will be affordable. Can’t wait to see it here in Malaysia.
The design of hatchback more attractive than sedan. We knew it won’t be here in whatsoever future, but impressive design by Honda. Altis seem antique in this forum
Overall looks great but the dual exhaust put close together seem weird should put a part left and right side
What about a car with 4 exhaust tips put together? Rear mid .. Same level with rear light.
Must be your junk myvi with fake exhaust. Lol
have u ever heard of pagani?
Europe? Where’s the diesel idtec?
back looks like proton suprima at first glance
Proton TGDi 260HP 350NM ftw
the next proton Subprima a.k.a Preve hatchback
Honda already unfriended Proton.
Wow! This one is better looking than the sedan. (Thumbs up)
Now tis is wat me talking about, hire the best designers instead of like Prodon employ the same team tat penned the ugly butt of Preve Supima Iriz
Butt so big like fat lady. Next!!!!!!
I think the design looks better resolved here than on the sedan. The sedan’s rearwards sloping roofline and over-long rear overhang, does not balance with the rest of the design (to me anyways). But the hatchback here does not have the same sloping roofline. Instead using sloping rear doors to convey a fastback look (ala the HRV). And the short rear overhang just makes it look a lot sportier. Very nice. Too bad, it won’t likely make it to our neck of the woods.
So ah beng look
Looks like beef up Gen2 seriously. But if they make ala NSX tailight, that would be awesome…
