本田将在下月开幕的日内瓦车展发布下一代思域掀背车的原型车。该车在日内瓦车展亮相后,量产版将于明年初在欧洲上市。思域掀背车将在英国Swindon工厂投产,同时还将出口到包括美国在内的其他国家。从最近发布的趣图看,车尾造型与轿车和轿跑车差不多,只不过更突出了运动风格。它采用了更厚重的保险杠和中置双排气尾管,车顶扰流器。类似回飞镖的尾灯组造型取自思域轿车和轿跑车版本,在掀背车上视觉效果良好。预计2017款思域欧规车型将搭载一台新的1.0升三缸涡轮增压引擎,功率约为94千瓦/127马力,扭矩200牛米,搭配六速手动变速器。而美版车型则搭载一台1.5升涡轮增压引擎,目前该引擎只搭配CVT变速器,但2017款车型可能会提供六速手动变速器。
Honda Civic hatchback prototype heading to Geneva
Honda is set to preview the next-generation Civic hatchback with a prototype making its debut next month at the Geneva Motor Show.
After coming out with the Civic sedan and coupe body styles, Honda is getting ready to provide a first glimpse of the five-door hatchback bound to go on sale in Europe at the beginning of 2017. It will be manufactured in United Kingdom at the factory in Swindon from where it’s going to be exported to a variety of markets, including United States.
The attached teaser image shows only the rear end which unsurprisingly echoes the sedan and coupe, but with an emphasis on sportiness. It features a beefy bumper with dual exhaust tips mounted in the center and there’s also an interesting roof-mounted spoiler. The taillights shaped like a boomerang are derived from those installed on the other two body styles and are nicely executed on the hatchback.
We already have some technical specifications concerning the 2017 Civic Euro Spec as Honda announced a while back it will be powered by a new turbocharged, three-cylinder 1.0-liter unit. Output is expected to stand at around 127 horsepower (94 kilowatts) and 148 pound-feet (200 newton meters) as seen on a prototype that had a six-speed manual transmission.
