The Honda Civic Hatchback is one of the most respected models in its class. For several model years, the Civic Hatchback has provided drivers with a light, nimble, adaptable and efficient platform that is perfect for daily commuting on crowded streets. The 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback will arrive at the Bannister Honda showroom with everything that has made it such a strong competitor across several compact vehicle classes. The hatchback variant of the classic Honda Civic uses its geometry very efficiently to provide one of the roomiest cargo bays in the segment. Follow along with Bannister Honda as we take a closer look at the latest member of the Civic family.
Exterior Design
Bold on the Outside
The 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback defies expectations in many different ways. The standard LED headlights are just the beginning of the bold exterior elements the vehicle has to offer. Additionally, some of its trims are equipped with a one-touch power moonroof with tilt feature.
See Through the Fog
When the conditions turn foul, the ability to identify danger becomes even more important to drivers. The 2023 Civic Hatchback can be equipped with available LED fog lights and mirror-integrated LED turn signals. Both will be key safety features while driving in bad weather.
