The next-generation Civic hatchback made its global debut in prototype form at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The design of the prototype heralds a significant step-change from previous versions of Honda’s core European model, focusing on provocative design and rewarding driving dynamics.

Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, here's the all-new Honda Civic Hatchback Prototype. Its assertive stance and provocative new design establishes 10th generation as the sportiest Civic ever. Available with Honda’s all-new 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre VTEC TURBO petrol engines, with further improvements made to existing 1.6-litre i-DTEC engine

The new Civic hatchback will be available in Europe early in 2017 and will be built at Honda of the UK Manufacturing (HUM).

The Honda Civic is back and better than ever. Or is it? Join KBB’s Micah Muzio to find out.

For $27,000 as tested, this new Civic is just a really good car. It has lots of room, it has lots of features, and it has a newly found level of refinement at a totally reasonable price. It's built well and comfortable, and has lots of neat storage solutions. With a few key modifications, it could be a handling champion. But for the non-car enthusiast in your life, this is a car you can get behind.

Although looking much more tamed than its show-only counterpart, it appears that the Civic Hatch will stay true to the original, sporting the same basic ingredients and lines. Sure, the big wheels are gone, and so are the side skirts and front and rear aprons, but both bumpers seem to keep the big (and possibly dummy) air vent format. Don’t expect high-glossy piano black exterior accents either, and you can wave the central-mounted mufflers goodbye - at least on the base models.

That said, don’t get your hopes down just yet, as the concept may still actually preview a sporty edition of the Civic 5-door hatch. Nevertheless, before we start drooling over a potential Si or Type S model, with a rumored de-tuned 2.0-Litre turbocharged engine taken out of the Type R, we should concentrate on the mainstream variant’s powertrain options.

Two new VTEC turbocharged gasoline engines, including a 1.0-litre and a 1.5-litre, will be available for Europe, while a 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre turbo should be reserved for the U.S. market.

Head-turning style, pulse-raising performance and a remarkably long list of comfort, convenience and connectivity features herald the launch of the all-new 2016 Civic Coupe. And a wide range of trim levels, color choices, customizable features and desirable accessories make it possible for every single Civic Coupe on the road to be unique to its owner.

Finally putting a face to the name. Meet the Civic Hatchback prototype; its bold stance and sleek styling make it the sportiest Civic yet.

It's back to sanity with the all-new and improved Honda Civic Coupe.

Honda's Civic is the first mainstream model to get a turbo under the hood and it's a fantastic combination. With similar fuel economy to the standard engine, the turbo model gets considerably better performance with similar fuel economy.
