One of the big changes for 2022 is the addition of the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to the range, with outputs of 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. It's standard on the LX and Sport, while EX-L and Sport Touring models come with the familiar 1.5-liter turbo-four. Specs from this powertrain are vastly more impressive, with 180 hp and 177 lb-ft available to play with. All cars are front-wheel drive with no AWD option, but despite not offering better all-weather traction, the Civic Hatch remains one of the most entertaining hatchbacks in the segment. Crucially, it's the only Civic model to retain a manual gearbox. Official 0-60 sprint times have yet to be released, but independent tests suggest you need around 7.2 seconds with the turbo-four and at least eight seconds with the bigger 2.0-liter motor to get to 60 mph. Top speed is estimated at 137 mph.2022 Civic Hatchback Performance Photos

There are two powertrain options in the range, with the base engine being the same 2.0-liter I4 equipped in base Civic Sedans. It's good for 150 hp and 138 lb-ft and is paired to a standard CVT automatic in both the LX and Sport, although the latter has the option to fit a six-speed manual transmission instead. The upper two trims carry over the 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder motor from last year, with 180 hp and 177 lb-ft mated to a CVT, but the Sport Touring can be had with the manual 'box, too. The CVT-equipped Civic Hatch, like the sedan, gets a Sport mode for the first time. That mode quickens the throttle and keeps the CVT closer to the Civic peak output point of 6,000 rpm. We're generally against CVTs, but when they're programmed for aggression, they can be fun too. Still, the manual is the way to go here if you want performance thrills. We only drove the Sport Touring trim with the 180-hp engine, which seemed to enjoy being pushed on Michigan's backroads.2022 Honda Civic Hatchback Performance Specs
