The 2022 Honda Civic has been revealed in public. Posted by a member of the CivicXI forums, the picture shows an undisguised car apparently on the streets of Beijing. While the Civic’s appearance shouldn’t be much of a surprise at this point, it follows in the footsteps of the Accord and adopts a more conservative design. Starting up front, there’s a small protruding grille which is flanked by slimmer headlights. The model also has a wide lower air intake and C-shaped fog light housings.
Moving down the sides, we can see
streamlined bodywork that appears pretty dull when compared to the current
Civic. Additional details are hard to make out, but previous pictures have
shown the model will have a gently sloping roof and an Accord-like greenhouse.
We can also expect a tame rear end with large taillights and a trunk with an
integrated spoiler. Honda hasn’t said much about the upcoming model, but it
will be offered in sedan and hatchback body styles. The coupe, as you may
recall, has been dropped to due to low demand.
Engine options are expected to carryover
and include an entry-level 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 158 hp and 187 Nm of torque. It should be joined by a
turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 174 hp and 220 Nm of torque. Honda has also confirmed plans for new Si and
Type R variants. If they use carryover engines as well, we can expect them to
have turbocharged 1.5- and 2.0-liter four-cylinders with outputs of 205 hp and 306 hp.
