2023 Honda Civic Sedan vs 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback

Serving Brighton, MI

Regarding compact cars, the Honda Civic has long been a favorite among car shoppers in Brighton. As the 11th generation of the Civic arrives in 2023, buyers will have the option to choose between a sedan and a hatchback body style. Serra Honda Brighton offers a wide selection of Civic trims in our inventory, allowing you to explore both options in person. Let’s consider what sets these two body styles apart for the 2023 Honda Civic.

Performance

The 2023 Honda Civic Sedan and the Civic Hatchback are equipped with a base 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that delivers 158 horsepower. Both body styles feature a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), but the hatchback also offers the choice of a manual transmission. Stepping up, both variants offer a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine producing 180 horsepower, paired with a CVT for the mid-level trims. The top trim of the Civic Sedan boasts a 1.5-liter engine with 200 horsepower, paired with a rev-matching six-speed manual transmission. The Civic Hatchback’s top trim takes performance to the next level with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that generates an impressive 315 horsepower and a six-speed manual transmission.

Appearance

The 2023 Civic Sedan and Civic Hatchback share a similar front-end design, featuring an athletic hood and a wide grille. The sleek headlights blend into the grille and incorporate a stylish bent LED lighting bar. Both body styles include a black bumper separated from the large air intake vents. The sedan body style showcases a crisp crease along the upper sides and an upward-arcing accent on the lower portion of the doors. On the other hand, the hatchback displays a similar side definition but has a longer hood that smoothly transitions into the liftgate.

Features

The base trims of both body styles come well-equipped with features such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a digital instrument panel, a 7-inch infotainment system screen, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist, among others. Moving up to the mid-level trims, both options offer additional amenities like heated front seats, a moonroof, an extra USB port, blind-spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, a larger display screen, and low-speed automatic braking. Choosing the top trim of the Civic Hatchback adds sports seats, faux suede upholstery, and a data logging system.
