2021 Civic Hatchback Exterior
The exterior design of the 2021 Honda Civic Hatchback will split opinions. Still, Honda has stuck with its increasingly crease-heavy design, making the performance-focused Type R - a Honda Civic Hatchback we review separately - such a popular talking point amongst car lovers. The majority of the Civic hatchback range features projector-beam halogen headlights, while the top-of-the-range Sport Touring gets a set of LED units. Other exterior features that come as standard across the range include body-colored door handles and LED brake lights. The base model rolls on a set of 16-inch alloy wheels, growing to 17 inches on the EX. Sport and Sport Touring variants come standard with 18-inch wheels. Of course, a 4-door version of the Honda Civic Hatchback exists, but that's the sedan and it appeals to very different buyers.

Exterior Colors
Over the years, the Honda Civic has undergone a rather significant image-shift, and these days this trusted hatchback is aimed at a more mature market. This is reflected in the exterior color palette on offer: the base model is offered in only three colors, all of which are very sensible. You get to choose from Crystal Black Pearl, Polished Metal Metallic, and for an additional $395, you can get Platinum White Pearl. The Sport trim adds Lunar Silver Metallic, Rallye Red, and for an extra $395, Sonic Gray Pearl or Platinum White Pearl. In addition to these hues, the EX is also offered with the rather attractive Aegean Blue Metallic. Finally, the Sport Touring can only be had with Crystal Black Pearl, Platinum White Pearl, or Sonic Gray Pearl, the last two costing $395. For the young at heart, the Rallye Red is the color to go for.
