Honda Civic Hatch Concept Staged At GIIAS 2016
MANILA: GIIAS 2016 – the highly appreciated auto event in Indonesia has been inaugurated today in front of authorities and dignitaries related with the auto world from all over the world. The auto show is the house of 25 passenger cars brand for another 10 days where they will be showcasing and launching models of their fleet. Earlier today, Suzuki revealed its 2016 Jimny at the event and now the news is coming from another Japanese automaker, Honda, which has staged its Civic Hatch prototype in front of the visitors. Honda Civic is not a new name in the auto world and with its existence of more than 4 decades, it has made the Honda brand quite famous across the geographies.
The authorities of Honda Prospect Motor – the local agent for Honda Motors in Indonesia, were present during this event and detailed this prototype for the media personnel. This first time Civic hatch, though in its prototype right now, is expected to hit the production facility in the early 2017 and may arrive in the showrooms by June 2017 in Indonesia. The prototype features a 1.5-litre VTEC turbo power unit and the same is speculated to be present in the production model.
With a hitch, the Marketing & After Sales Director PT HPM, Jonfis Fandy, mentioned, "We have not determined the production of this car yet and the company is excited to record the response of the visitors by showcasing this prototype. We want to produce this hatch in Indonesia as there are cheaper taxes. The car will target young customers and may arrive by mid-2017”.
The exterior of this hatch carries a big and bold front with large air intakes which make the front look aggressive and sharp. The rear has a distinctive arch of a hatchback while the creased side profile makes it look sporty. The concept has a sleek appearance with a dynamic posture which looks suitable for the target customers mentioned by the authority during the unveiling ceremony. The cabin is kept confined by the Japanese manufacturer but is expected to house a wide range of features for comfort and convenience of the occupants.
With Honda Civic Sedan already available in the Philippines, let's hope that after showing this Civic hatchback prototype at the GIIAS 2016, Honda brings it to the Philippines during PIMS 2016 which is approaching in September 2016.
