If the Honda Civic is the representative of sports A-class cars, I think no one would object, and it is sought after by so many young users. In addition to its rather powerful 1.5T engine, the fastback The sporty feel created by the stylish body is also one of the reasons why many consumers choose it. However, recently, overseas media obtained a set of patent images of the new generation Honda Civic.
As you can see from the picture, the biggest highlight of the car is that the body shape has returned to the traditional sedan shape. Compared with the current model, it has an extra "butt", so it looks... It is more slender and easily distinguished from the current Civic with its fastback design. It is worth mentioning that the design of the duck tail on the tail retains a certain sense of movement.
As for the front face, the entire front design of the sedan version is basically the same as that of the previously exposed hatchback version. The long and narrow headlight shape blends with the front air grille. The one-piece shape is not only more stylish It also widens the visual effect of the entire front of the car. The front enclosure adopts a three-part design, and the shape is still dynamic.
Compared with the front of the car, the rear shape of the Civic sedan has very obvious changes. The first is the taillight shape. It does not continue the highly recognizable "boomerang" style taillights on the current Civic. Instead, it uses a "7"-shaped LED light strip, which is also highly recognizable at night. Compared with the current model Who looks better depends on personal preference. In terms of exhaust, it can be inferred from the shape of the rear enclosure on the patent drawing that the new car may adopt a bilateral exhaust design with two outlets.
As for the interior, judging from the previously exposed central control patent image, the interior design of the new car has changed significantly compared to the current model. It can be inferred from the concave and convex shapes at different positions that the new car may adopt Central control multimedia screen with suspended design. It should be noted that models such as Accord and Crown Road currently use floating large screens. Judging from the narrow groove below, the new car is likely to use a through-type air-conditioning outlet, which also widens the visual effect inside the car to a certain extent.
There is not much information revealed about the configuration yet, but in terms of power, in addition to using traditional fuel power, Honda’s latest e:HEV hybrid system will also appear in new cars in the future. As a global model, Honda does not rule out the possibility of launching plug-in hybrid and pure electric models.
In addition, Honda officially confirmed that the sedan model will not have Si and TYPE?R versions. However, for potential users of these two cars, I believe that not many people will consider the sedan version which is not outstanding in appearance.
Written at the end: Based on the above information, Honda wants to further explore the potential of the Civic brand. Among them, the sedan version will be made into a more household version to cater to the needs of more home users. The hatchback model is responsible for sports, and its potential users are naturally young users who pursue sports and individuality. So would you consider this new sedan version of Civic?
