What are the real differences between the Civic sedan and the Civic hatchback for Canadian use?
The hatchback provides 728 litres of cargo space versus 519 litres in the sedan, with a wider loading opening and a lower load floor that accepts skis, surfboards and flat-pack furniture without a roof rack. The Sport and Sport Touring hatchback trims come standard with the 1.5L turbo at 180 horsepower â the sedan's base LX uses a 2.0L naturally aspirated 158 hp engine. The sedan is marginally quieter at highway speed due to the sealed trunk, and is the correct choice for buyers focused purely on commuting comfort. For anything involving hauling â sports gear, trades tools, weekend trips â the hatchback is the more versatile tool in a Canadian context.
