YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL WHO THE PROTAGONIST IS TODAY, AND THE FRONT FACE OF THE HATCHBACK IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE NORMAL ONE.

THE STYLING HATCHBACK ONLY CHANGES THE SHAPE OF THE REAR AND DOESN'T EVEN MAKE MUCH CHANGES TO THE ROOFLINE. The contrast is obvious. In terms of body size, only the length of the car has been shortened by 126 mm, and the rest remains unchanged.

THE UNIQUE SILVER MIRRORS OF THE STYLISH HYBRID HAVE BEEN CARRIED OVER TO THE HATCHBACK MODEL, AND THE TWO-TONE BODYWORK OF THE LIMITED EDITION GIVES THE SIDE OF THE CAR A MORE STYLISH LOOK. The word hatchback is closer to the generic term for all hatchbacks, and this hatchback also has its own name, liftback.

The roofline is very simple, with a small lift added to the rear. Without the large rear wing of the TYPER, the temperament of the whole car is restrained.

THE ROOFLINE IS MUCH SIMPLER THAN THE 10TH GENERATION CIVIC HATCHBACK, AND THE REAR SHAPE IS ALSO MORE ROUNDED AND FULL, AND THE ELEVENTH GENERATION IS REALLY MUCH MORE MATURE.

THE INTERIOR OF THE STYLISH HATCHBACK IS ALREADY ALL TOO FAMILIAR, AND THE EXCELLENT TEXTURE AT FIRST SIGHT AMAZES EVERYONE, AND THERE IS NOTHING TO SAY NOW.

The trunk space is relatively regular, except that there is a bulge behind the seats, and the rear seats support a 4/6 ratio of reclining, but unfortunately it cannot form a complete plane. There is also a storage space under the cover that is not deep and irregular, and the way the cover is folded and opened is very interesting, convenient and labor-saving.

The fourth-generation i-MMD hybrid system has a total motor power of 184 horsepower and a total torque of 315 Nm; The engine has a maximum power of 143 hp and a maximum torque of 182 Nm. The hybrid version still uses push-button gear shifting and is mated to an E-CVT gearbox.

The chassis section is also unchanged, with a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. At 70 km/h, the vehicle is fully powered by an electric motor, and even if the engine starts, it is only charging the battery.

The 1.5T engine is also full of low torque, but the motor responds significantly faster and more direct, and the maximum torque of the motor is 75 Nm more.

Interestingly, although the engine is only charging the battery, the revs change depending on the depth of the throttle, making the driving experience of the hybrid model less boring.

Above 70 km/h, the engine is directly connected to the wheels while cruising to improve high-speed fuel consumption, a process that is almost imperceptible due to the fact that it only switches power in a steady state.

When cruising at high speeds, the motor is happy to help and drive the vehicle together, so although the engine parameters are weak, it will not feel like meat.

The chassis is still comfort-oriented, with an excellent sense of heaviness and overall feel. When quickly passing through road undulations and ditches, the suspension rebounds quickly and there is no unwanted bounce.

But there will be a slight hard feeling on the surface, and the rear suspension jumps a little when passing through speed bumps at slow speeds; When driving on a loop, there will also be more road sense transmitted into the car. The steering damping feeling is greater than that of gasoline models, so it doesn't matter when driving normally, but low-speed steering, especially when making a U-turn, requires you to hold on to the direction.
