All-New 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback // In Person with the Newest Civic!

[@s0516122]

I'm happy to see that you two are moving up in 'importance'. This is the first event (that I know of) that you are invited to by the manufacturer and is able to prerecord the video and publish it on the day of launch (e.g. that didn't happen for the civic sedan). So good work guys!

[@2004cyrus]

These guys are exactly the age of buyers Honda built this car for. Gen Z is what’s being said by Honda. My age too.

Hatchback is super practical. It's inexpensive comparing to SUV. It has better handling most of the time.

[@namvet1968]

Except when you get into a head on collision youd wish you were on a heavier car such as rav4 or crv

[@tylersmith4265]

@@brolyvi1211 That's a common misconception. Weight matters, height doesn't, so accords are slightly more safe than CRVs/Rav4s

[@brolyvi1211]

@@tylersmith4265 same weight.. you are correct. but T-bone collision, it is best to be on a higher vehicle. If you have weight and height, you are safer as long as you dont rollover. Side collision on a sedan regardless of the weight the sedan driver will likely die since the head is at the height of the suv front. And curtain airbag? Lol, most ppl sit above the side airbags and the dummies they use are smaller than average american.

I’m not an overwhelming fan of the sedan version but maybe the hatch will change my mind 🤞🏻

[@pix00l]

Same here it looks so much better than the sedan

[@RyanPerlmanCooks]

@@pix00l I think the type R is gonna look awesome with the 11th gen. The coupe style back is much more appealing than I expected!

[@justinphy7229]

THIS !!! This is exactly what I’m saying! The sedan went down hill and I’ve never really been a fan of hatchbacks but until now I think I might be interested in them 👀

[@guitarhero7328]

Honda civic sedan is now standard. No more coupe.

[@julianbrian817]

The sedan is just small accord. This car though is something new and actually have a character.

[@johnroberts9823]

Congrats on getting invited by Honda to their HQ to review the just unveiled HB - wow! Great color and just an amazing blend of good styling & tech - they’ll sell millions of them! Congrats again - you guys are seeing your hard work & diligence pay off! 😎

[@CarConfections]

Thanks, John! 😁

[@Dzynerr]

This is more like a sports back than a hatchback.

[@javierlechuga4009]

Can't really tell it's a Hatchback... Maybe in a different color or in person. Saw a saden about 2 weeks ago all black. Looked good in person. Im sure it was a demo model for the dealer.

[@chAiNsss_]

It is a fastback.

[@stuntmonkey00]

I'm struggling to see the point of this though. The hatch opening only looks huge, but the sloping glass means that you can't put anything tall in it. So the real world cargo room isn't that much better than the sedan. Fold the seats down and try to move a bookcase. You have a better chance of that happening in a real hatchback like an Impreza or a Forte5

[@4uanC]

Liftback

[@willymahmoud3373]

Its leftback

[@jeffreywong6842]

Great job on the preview guys! Glad that you are now getting similar privileges/access to new cars the same time as the other well established channels. :)

Just picked up that exact model today in the same colour, only difference is I got the HPD aero pack added on (just love the sporty look). Anyways, great video guys! Keep it up!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks and congrats!

[@Retiredmco]

Liking what I seen in H. B. Especially that the 1.5T can be matched with a manual!!! Oh hell yeah 😃!

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

Sport trim, with 2.0 NA and Manual is the best combo. I'll have one in White please

[@saywut024]

What would you prefer? The 2.0 or the 1.5 turbo manual?

[@CarConfections]

The 1.5 simply because it has more power and torque

[@reezy3599]

No regrets about buying my 2020 sports hatchback at all after seeing this.

[@ArnelZapataJr]

Give us a hatchback Si and I'll get one ASAP!

[@karlbryant5706]

Not Made In Japan? It’s trash

[@darriontunstall3708]

I love the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback, it’s very nice! I love the blue!

[@Maureentv1]

Honda has a button down feel. The 2022 Civic Sedan & Hatchback are so improved.

[@henryespinosa9283]

The only thing that I would prefer are light colored interior surfaces, and two-tones even better in the Honda Civic Hatchback. I think this generation hatchback is a lot better looking than the previous one with the over styling, multiple spoilers, and fake vents.

[@Cruzinbrother]

Good luck with the fake exhaust. At least fake vents can be swapped to real ones. Overstyling is a Japanese thing. 10th gen looks like 80s anime robots such as Patlabor and Gundam. 10th gen stands out. 11th gen blends in.

[@BeeJ87]

If they're gonna chop the length, they could've at least made it into a shootingbrake for more practicality and make it a real "hatchback". This is a fastback like the Stinger and Arteon

[@omegalamda3145]

shootin brake😙

[@cpMetis]

They did exactly what I wanted them to do and didn't think they'd have the guts to do. Cut the length to be an actual subcompact car and go back to the fastbacks like the Integras of yesteryear. If you're filling up the back to the point you can't see out the rear windows, you need a truck. Fastbacks give you the ease of access of hatchbacks without sacrificing visibility and style.

[@BeeJ87]

@@cpMetis well that may be true, so call this a fastback or maybe even the sedan. It's just that "hatchback" makes you think of the shape of an EP3 civic or VW Golf

[@wwsheldon]

... But does the Air Conditioner work???? Or will it break like the 10th gen models leaving the car practically useless in southern states in the summer?

[@RZ-sh6yi]

I would like to see both models accelerate onto the highway and change lanes. What is the weight of the sedan and the hatchback? Stopping distance also? Colors? Trims on both? Tires and sizes?

[@peterbutterjelly114]

I feel like this design will age really well in the future, might even be a classic with the Si and Type R variants in 10-20 years time lol

[@odonsaller5238]

Thanks god to a another good looking Honda after the new HR-V! Lovely work!

[@dwoodrow9721]

One thing I have to complain about is the lack of full LEDs. A lot of car manufacturers are doing this, they go full LEDs up front then skip out on the taillights. Just wish they put that little extra time into that but otherwise, absolutely love the new hatch

[@johnb4416]

Good review! The car almost looks like a regular sedan! Did you miss not having the lane watch camera on the passenger side mirror? It's really useful in busy cities with bike lanes. I loved that feature in the 10th Gen Civic.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! We always found traditional blind spot monitoring to be more useful, so we didn't really miss it

[@smiles0398]

I love Lane Watch camera but if next model comes with BSM I will just have to get used to that instead. Would be great to have both! Next HB will be my 3rd, just love them.

[@bryanrojas6550]

Already!!!! That’s awesome they should add AWD for the hatchback!!

[@goldblade84]

I'm just here to say that the new Civic Hatch is a Baby Crosstour. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[@GS-vf7qf]

The Sport model with black window trim is the best looking spec. In my opinion!

[@cotyl939]

I like the hatchback/liftback/4-door Coupe/the other Civic/sportback over the sedan. No matter what's the correct term, I'll call it stylish.

[@sinbatsiraseranant1241]

While every car companies, especially Hyundai, are redesigning their vehicle to be more futuristic with curves and angles (take a look at the current Elantra), the Honda design team is reverting back to the boxy/boring (that they got criticized for several years ago) in 2022. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of modern technologies incorporated into these new Civics. But one initial glance at this design can make you move on to the next vehicle. One might very well purchase this because of the good old Honda reliability. But for the look alone, not sure. I'd be scared to see what the next redesigned Accord looks like....just my opinion.

[@silvgravity4492]

This looks great! Perfect combination of sporty looks and practicality. I may be picking one up next year

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Awesome video, thanks for two videos in one day!😸😸

[@jazbrogonzo]

I like it. It's simplistic...outside. But I really dig the honeycomb trim... I bought the 2021 Sport Touring Hatch. I weighed the 2... I just felt the 10th Gen being the last Gen & the overall look was distinctive...it ended up being an excellent choice. In my opinion... 🤔 #HondaHatch2021

[@PinkyThumbs]

Did you get the manual? I may end up ordering one on friday

[@Art_V101]

Why do you not show the back seats folding down,seeing how much space is back there with the seats down is like 25% of what would make me buy it.

[@Smellslikegelfling]

What is that little thing on the floor underneath the passenger side of the car?

[@user-rn5rf2pz4j]

Why not manual with 2.0 L engine ? 40-20-40 back seats split ? Back seats pass-through ? Vents in the back ? Digital cockpit, Apple Car, Android Auto, spare tire all should be an option to save money. Why would you make safety features availability based on trim level ?

[@jkye1980]

is there power sit in the passenger ? mine 10th Gen civic top model in australia, doesn't have power seat on the passenger side, only heated seat not air cool seat like the KIA or so

[@JoKIA_-100]

[@fahriylmaz7952]

this hatch is better than the previous one as exterior.

[@xp50player]

I assume a vacuum brush and/or compressed air will suffice to clean the new honeycomb vents.

[@atsawinthongsumak57]

Inside is more improved than 10th gen. But somehow I prefer interior of Mazda 3 which is more minimalist but has everything you need. If you like 6MT with NA engine, check out Mazda 3 hatch.

As someone who actually wants the hatchback for the utility aspect I worry about the sloping design taking away too much height for taller cargo.

[@Elmojomo]

Same here. I want the new Civic HB badly, but I'm concerned that it won't be as useful as my Focus ST, which I can haul nearly anything in!

[@katrinaroche1611]

[@Kickenwing13]

Going into the dealer Wednesday to let them know what I want. I'm kind of torn still. Told him I wanted to price out a sport and a sport touring, want to know what it's going to cost... And your opinion is the touring that much better that it's worth the extra several thousand? If you've seen any other colors in person of the hatch, what color would you be a fan of? I like that blue, right now if I had to order one I would get Sonic gray though. Thoughts on trim ? Color?

[@CarConfections]

Since it's not at dealers yet, this is actually the only trim and color that anyone (outside of Honda engineers) has seen. The Sport will definitely be a great value and Sonic Gray is personally my favorite color on most other Hondas 👍

[@islandon22]

When my son and I were looking to trade our Mazda 3's, we returned to the Civic because Mazda 3 switched the rear suspension to Torsion Bar and dropped Independent Rear Suspension (say whaaaa?). The Gen Xl design came out and we bought 2 new 2020 Civics (Hatch Sport & Coupe EX). We both found the front of the Civic Gen XI to be a clone of the Accord and the rear to be a Passat/Jetta knock off. In essence, to us, it is totally devoid of personality and downright BORING. We'll be trading in a few years, I hope the Gen XII will show some pizzazz again. I do love my Honda's.

I drive since 1996 Honda. I owned 3, be in my ninth gen now. My taste is Honda, Mercedes, and Porsche. Three that do things different than the rest. Leading ahead, not always in sales but technical and follow own philosophy. Porsche 911 where the engine stays in the rear, Honda who stays with the Civic badge, en Mercedes who was the first who came with a car. Super sport cars i place in a different league, Koenigsegg and Bugatti for example. Back to the new Civic, i think there is no better.
