Honda Civic Hatchback Prototype-5

One of the models that took Japanese brand Honda to worldwide fame was the Civic first generation in 1972. Now, Honda exhibited the prototype of dashing the new Civic hatchback (tenth – generation) at the ongoing 2016 Geneva motor show. With the sporty exterior, the brand new Honda civic hatchback will soon hit the European markets in early 2017.

Major success of the Honda came from USA and other JDM (Japanese domestic market) lovers’ countries and it really did consider them whilst making this prototype. We can see it from its low ground clearance, its larger alloy wheels and wider tyres. Honda got a major slice of success with civic as it was the 2016 North American car of the year and declared that it would produce wider wheels and wider tyres only for USA with 2-litre four cylinders capable of producing 305 horsepower.
