How's the trunk entrance? Is the opening stupidly small and irritating like the Acuras and Camaro?

I'd be interested to know how much extra headroom that has compared to the standard sedan, and of course, how many thousands this will add to the base price. Honda is good at over pricing their cars a bit, and given how GM seems to be indicating that the Cruze hatch will be the "premium" model at Chevrolet, it seems like Honda would do the same with this.

While it was expectedly toned down from the Concept, it does look more aggressive than the Sedan and Coupe. Autoexpress has caught the new hatchback running in the wild featuring twin exhausts mounted in the centre. Possibly a Si/Type S model?

If this is what Europe and UK markets are getting then they'll have the boy racer crowd like putty in their hands.

Would there be much of a market for a Civic convertible? Curious....

If this is what my friend says it is then this might be of some interest to you guys. According to him its a "Civic that isn't available yet."

I might be calling it out too quickly, but if I'm not mistaken, it's a Civic Coupe 1.5 Turbo with a manual, no? Honda announced that 2017 Civics with a 1.5 will have a manual option, since at the moment they only comes with a CVT.

Honda is such a complete piece of ****. The interior is garbage. Look at this:
It's like Honda said, "**** all these stupid fat Americans. We will give them all kneemonia." Honestly, what is with the decision to put a hard plastic rim around the door panel like that? It totally kills your leg. The other side feels great, but little things like this are why I totally hate Honda. They always have a really terrible caveat somewhere in them.
The new Civic feels totally junky in person. It is completely outclassed by the new Elantra in my opinion. The Elantra feels huge on the inside. (that's what she said) The quality and finish feels comparatively outstanding. The Civic was a huge disappointment.

I can't say I noticed it on the last one I was in, but I'll keep an eye out for it next time.
You can tell that the Civic is still built to a price, albeit a higher one than the last few examples. The new Elantra is pretty impressive, though. Lot of soft-touch materials everywhere for the money, shame the chassis is likely a wet noodle compared to the Honda.

I had a bit of a poke around the Civic sedan/coupe at NYIAS, since the hatch we'll get will be broadly similar, and I actually thought it felt like a decent-quality product. Not dissimilar to the HR-V or CR-V, which you can expect I suppose. Looks good too. Not quite as cohesive as the Elantra @Omnis mentions, but definitely sportier.
The Hyundai's cabin is nice though. Partly because the designer seems to have used some tracing paper on the SEAT Leon's cabin. Didn't it used to be the Japanese that copied everybody?:

Nah, they just copied in-house from the Sonata. It feels just like a Sonata, except without the cavernous back seat. Hopefully the engine and powerplant are a little better.
I would expect that the Civic would be more interesting out on the road. That hard plastic on the knee really would kill me though. @homeforsummer did you sit in the junky base Civic or the loaded one? The loaded one isn't bad but the base model is just junk. It hasn't improved like all the others have.

I can't remember, but at shows they tend to have loaded ones rather than base models, so I'm guessing it was one of those.

HONDA has officially ripped the covers off the hatchback version of its Civic small car ahead of an early-2017 Australian showroom debut.
The Japanese car-maker has released just one image of the Civic’s rear three-quarter after unofficial pictures of an undisguised Civic hatch popped up online last week.
The images reveal that the production version is virtually identical to the concept that appeared at the Geneva motor show earlier this year, with the key difference appearing to be the absence of the fluorescent yellow highlights of the concept.
Naturally the hatch has a stubbier rear end when compared directly with its sedan sibling that launched in Australia in May, and it features a kink in the rear three-quarter window that is not present on the booted version.
Other differences include tail-lights – LED on the version in the image – that are integrated into a rear spoiler that splits the lower part of the rear windscreen.
Large diffusers and centrally mounted exhaust pipes hint at a sport variant in the image.
Honda is yet to release information on cargo capacity so it is unclear how it compares against the sedan as well as its hatchback rivals such as the Mazda3, Volkswagen Golf, Toyota Corolla and Ford Focus to name just a few.
Honda Australia director Stephen Collins said the hatchback version of the Civic would play an important role in the company’s local line-up.
“Like the Civic sedan, the Honda Civic Hatch, will be a very important car in the Honda line-up in Australia,” he said.
“In the small-car segment in Australia, hatches reign so we expect the Honda Civic Hatch to be a relevant option for Honda customers looking for the versatility of a hatch but with the proven quality, style and performance of a Honda.”
As previously reported, the Civic hatch and sedan will share a platform ensuring that they are much more closely related than in previous generations and both will be built alongside each other at Honda’s Thailand manufacturing facility.
Full Australian pricing and specification will be released closer to launch, but Honda has announced that the hatch will match the model line-up and key features of the sedan.
Entry-level Civic hatches – likely the VTi and and VTi-S if it is to mimic the sedan line-up – will be powered by Honda’s carry over 1.8-litre 104kW/174Nm four-cylinder petrol unit, while the VTi-L, RS and VTi-LX are expected to use the new 127kW/220Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged four-pot.
Pricing for the sedan starts at $22,390 plus on-road costs for the VTi and tops out at $33,590 for the kitted-out VTi-LX. It is unclear if Honda plans to offer the hatch for the same price as the sedan or if one body style will attract a premium over the other.
The Honda Sensing suite of active safety technology will be offered on some hatch variants and includes Collision Mitigation Braking System with Forward Collision Warning, Road Departure Mitigation, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control with low speed follow and a lane keeping aid.
Other comfort features that will be offered, depending on the variant, include Honda Display Audio with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, electric driver and front passenger seats, heated front seats, heated side mirrors and push-button start.
Honda says the cabin of the hatch will follow the sedan in offering “high-grade materials and quality finishes”, adding that it delivers “impressive interior packaging and cargo capacity, featuring impressive rear seat legroom and function, roomy cargo space”.
The Civic sedan has been instantly popular since launch, picking up 922 sales in its first full month on sale (June), while grabbing 1097 registrations last month, a massive 222 per cent increase over the same month in 2015.
In July, the Civic secured a 25.2 per cent share of the private sales in the small sedan segment, beating out the Mazda3 and Toyota Corolla to be the top-selling sedan for the month with private buyers.
If the Civic sedan continues its good sales form it is likely that it will overtake rivals such as the Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra, Subaru Impreza, Nissan Pulsar and Mitsubishi Lancer by the end of the year.
Exact launch timing is still unconfirmed but Honda says it will arrive early in 2017, ahead of the spicy Type R hatch that is expected later in the year.

It is a good looking hatch, I'd say. As much as it does kinda-sorta-maybe look like an old Accord Crosstour, I didn't find that style exercise all that offensive in the first place.
The big news would be that you can finally get the stick with the turbo(s), and the stick is available on mid-level trims instead of forcing you onto the CVT. I'm hoping that carries over to the sedan as well, but, who really knows with Honda. It really sounds like the Civic Sport is going to be the sweet spot, just like with the bigger Accord. Here's hoping the price isn't positively stratospheric with all of the goodies that come with.

That's the new Civic?! It looks like Lancer Ralliart! The sportback one at that.. Or Hondas own CrossTour.

And hidden dual exhausts.. Unnecessary additional weight. Is it even true dual system or..?

I'm 19 and that looks really cool. Could do without the hood scoop, however. Ride height seems a bit high.

The one design feature of this car I will never get over are those huge fake vents on the rear bumper. They need to disappear.
Edit: oh and this Type R should be coming to the states.
