Australian pricing and initial details for the new 2017 Honda Civic hatch range have been detailed. Starting at AUD 22,390 plus on-road costs, the Civic hatch range comprises of five variants – VTi, VTi-S, VTi-L, RS and VTi-LX, with all models coming standard with a continuously-variable transmission (CVT).

All models come standard with body-coloured upper tailgate spoiler, black lower rear spoiler, along with piano black front grille and B-pillar finishes.


The sporty RS variant gets a full body kit in piano black including a front spoiler, side skirts and rear under spoiler, along with dark chrome exterior door handles. Further distinguishing the RS hatch from its more tame brethren, along with the RS sedan, are its Type R-inspired centrally-mounted twin exhaust system finished with chrome tips. Pricing across the range mirrors that of the sedan, with the exception of the RS hatch, which demands a AUD 500 premium over its sedan counterpart.

VTi and VTi-S models are powered by a naturally-aspirated 142 Hp/174 Nm 1.8-litre petrol engine, while the VTi-L, RS and VTi-LX feature the company’s new 1.5-litre turbo four, producing 172 Hp and 220 Nm. All models send drive to the front wheels.


With the exception of the unique exterior features mentioned above, equipment levels for the Civic hatch largely mirror the equivalent sedan range. Read our pricing and specs story here. The Honda Civic hatch range goes on sale in May.
