2022 Honda Civic Hatchback: Euro-Inspired, Built in the U.S.
The Honda Civic knows its target audience. It’s still among the shrinking pool of affordable sedans suited for young drivers, but even more scarce are affordable hatchbacks — which is why all eyes will be on the redesigned 2022 Civic Hatchback when it’s revealed later this month. To drum up excitement for the reveal, Honda teased a shadowy photo of the new Civic Hatchback, along with a few tipoffs on its styling, transmission, production location and arrival date.

Honda says the new Civic Hatchback features a “European-inspired” exterior but remains tight-lipped on specifics. We squinted hard and still couldn’t make out much from the photo shared by the automaker; the profile of the hatchback only reveals a sloped, fastback-inspired roofline.

In addition to new styling, Honda says the hatchback will have improved five-door versatility versus the sedan and will feature an available six-speed manual transmission. The six-speed manual is currently offered only on the Sport and Sport Touring trims, with a standard continuously variable automatic standard on the rest of the trims.
Despite its Euro-inspired digs, the Civic Hatchback will for the first time be produced stateside at Honda’s Greensburg, Ind., manufacturing facility. An arrival at dealerships is expected later this year.
