Honda has many popular cars in China, including CR-V, Accord and other models, but the one that attracts the most attention among young people is the Dongfeng Honda Civic. The Dongfeng Honda Civic, which has been on the market for four or five years, is still performing strongly in the domestic compact car market. Since Honda has relatively strong strength in the field of engine technology, even the Dongfeng Honda Civic equipped with a 1.5T engine , can still bring "supercar" confidence to young consumers.

But the sedan version of the Dongfeng Honda Civic is actually designed more for family considerations. In the opinion of the editor of Feilv Auto, more car-loving friends still want to drive a hatchback version of the Civic. So today it's here! The hatchback version of the Dongfeng Honda Civic HATCHBACK, which was launched during the Chengdu Auto Show, satisfies the "Type-R" dream of a large number of car enthusiasts. Not only that, the price of the Dongfeng Honda Civic HATCHBACK is basically the same as the sedan version. All models are equipped with sports packages, and there are also high-end manual transmission models. However, with the Dongfeng Honda Civic HATCHBACK top model priced at 166,900 yuan and less than 170,000 yuan, can it really allow us to directly realize the "Type-R" dream?

The significance of the hatchback Civic cannot be denied

The release of the hatchback version has enabled Honda to further enrich the CIVIC car series. Civic is to Honda, similar to what the Sagitar is to Volkswagen, and what Corolla is to Toyota, what they have to do is not to compete for the first sales volume in the segment. They are important representatives of the domestic A-class market. They are representatives of the essence of their respective brands. Between the brand and consumers (especially young consumers) Act as a bridge of communication.

The addition of Dongfeng Honda Civic Hatchback will help Dongfeng Honda enhance customer stickiness, operate and maintain loyal fans. For loyal fans, dressing up the Civic like a Type-R is a kind of belief, and Dongfeng Honda is here to help them realize this dream.

Spending a little money can bring you infinitely closer to "TYPE?R"

Although the price of the Dongfeng Honda Civic HATCHBACK is basically the same as that of the sedan, for those who really want to buy a Dongfeng Honda For people who own the Civic HATCHBACK, even if they buy the top model priced at RMB 166,900, it is far from enough. 170,000 is just the beginning of playing Dongfeng Honda Civic HATCHBACK.

In terms of appearance, the sports surround on the front face is consistent with the overseas version, and the blackened grille also looks quite handsome. The combination of LED headlights and fog lights also looks very sharp, and the overall momentum is much stronger than that of the sedan version. When the Dongfeng Honda Civic sedan was first launched, there was a famous saying that "if the Civic does not change, it is better to push it into the sea", so it is even more true when it comes to the Dongfeng Honda Civic HATCHBACK.

If you don’t want to turn your Dongfeng Honda Civic HATCHBACK into an auto parts urban style, but really want to turn it into a small Type-R, then you have to buy another one. Now that the official sports package is available, you have to upgrade it from the inside.

The first step is to start with chassis modification. As the saying goes, the best thing to do is to reduce the cost first, TEIN? SF shock absorber (8000), if you don’t change the wheels and tires, you must upgrade, 4 Michelin ps4 (3600), Spoon 4 piston brake (12000), and then the power hardware should also keep up, Spoon carbon cover (14000), spoon cylinder head (4000). The final motivation is to flash a Hondata white box (8000). After flashing the program, of course I also need Hondata’s intercooler (3000). A simple upgrade of this set will cost about 50,000 yuan without being "scammed" by the modification shop. Therefore, including the price of the car, a modified Civic HATCHBACK costs more than 200,000. And this is only an upgrade for entry-level players. If you are an experienced player, the modification cost can only be said to be a bottomless pit.

Is Civic HATCHBACK really fun?

In fact, Honda had already made a decision on the model and price when it decided to bring the domestically produced Civic HATCHBACK to Dongben. We can all see that the Civic HATCHBACK was launched for those players in the market. And launched. Therefore, for the vast majority of consumers who buy Civic HATCHBACK, they have already thought about how to build their own unique Dongfeng Honda Civic HATCHBACK while buying a car.

Feilv Auto believes that it will be difficult to see a plain Civic HATCHBACK running on the street in the future.

Therefore, the question of whether it is worth buying a Civic HATCHBACK or whether it is fun to upgrade to a Civic HATCHBACK is a false proposition in the eyes of Civic HATCHBACK owners!

Write to the end:

So judging from the current situation, if you like the new Dongfeng Honda Civic HATCHBACK, it is better to get it as soon as possible, as many car reviewers will say One sentence is "Buy early, enjoy early". Some models are indeed bought early and enjoyed early. After all, we don't just buy them for transportation. If there is no sentiment in our hearts, then the introduction of hatchback models will be meaningless.
