Civic Hatchback
The hatchback version of one of North America’s most popular compact cars continues to pair efficiency and practicality with a sporty look and smooth ride quality. With both gas-only and gas-electric powertrains offered, the 2026 Civic Hatchback retains stylistic and mechanical elements from the previous model year but brings improvement with a standard leather-wrapped steering wheel (previously only available in the high-end Sport Touring Hybrid) and red interior ambient lighting for the base trim (Sport).
The Civic Hatchback’s body style gives its owner versatility with 24.5 cubic feet of cargo space – significantly more than its sedan counterpart’s 14.8 cubic-foot trunk. The 200-horsepower hybrid powertrain that the higher trims get boasts a 6.2-second 0-to-60 time, all while achieving up to 50 mpg. This attribute makes it the fastest non-Type R Civic, rivaling its Civic Si cousin. Standard Honda Sensing driver-assist technology, including adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, and traffic jam assist, adds to the Civic Hatchback’s value, while available luxuries like leather seats, a wireless phone charger, and Bose audio offer upscale appeal.
