[Auto] 2022 Honda Civic Revealed in Your Patent Images

[#Steeven.™]

Honda is already clear on the overall design that the next-generation Civic will have. And that for the official launch we will have to wait until 2022. Some patented images of the sedan version show it from all angles, leaving little to the imagination.

As you can see, the images have the usual characteristics of this type of record: gray colors and only the necessary details to make their appearance clear against possible plagiarism attempts. Therefore, if you know a little, you will see the Honda Civic XI prototype at the presentation next Tuesday, November 17.

Less Civic and more Accord?
As seen in these images and in the video that Honda published as a preview, this new generation will have a style very influenced by the Honda Accord that is sold in the US. In addition to showing the remarkable changes that will be made to both the front and the rear.

These images have been posted on the CivicXI forum, created to gather all available information about the model. Where similar images of the high-performance Civic Type R variant also appeared.

 

2022 Honda Civic Changes
As for the images that occupy us in this article, at the front the headlights are less angular and the grill has been significantly narrowed. In addition, the body appears to have lengthened and widened, possibly to resemble the American Accord, which is larger. The taillights have also been redesigned, as seen on the Type R 2022.

The new Civic will have a less sporty appearance than the current model, and patents suggest that Honda has removed the distinctive spoiler and other aggressive details seen on the outgoing model. Although it is too early to know all the design traits it will have when it goes on sale in 2022.

These images of the Honda Civic do not reveal details about its interior, but early last month we were able to see the shapes of its dashboard.

 

And under the hood ...
Regarding the advances that have been mentioned on its technical details, Honda has already announced that it will electrify its entire European fleet in 2022. So it will be the same with the Civic, including its Type R version. What is not known at the moment is how far this electrification will go: microhybrid, hybrid or plug-in hybrid.

At the same time, sources close to the brand have also mentioned the possibility that the new Type R uses a propulsion system similar to that of the Honda NSX. Although it is not likely to go to such extremes, since that sports car combines a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 gasoline engine with three electric motors. Most likely they refer to part of its technology, with somewhat more modest propellants.
