Honda is preparing to once again offer a Civic Hatchback to the U.S. and we have spy photos of the car testing.

This time, our photographers snapped the upcoming UK-built five-door Civic testing under the desert sun. The large, rounded rear end and the higher deck lid tip off that this is the hatchback version of the car.

One of the 2016 Honda Civic Hatchback spy photos clearly shows all three bodystyles, sedan, coupe and hatchback, offering a clear look at the different sizes and shapes that the 2016 Civic will be offered in.

The upcoming Civic will be available with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine hooked up to either a six-speed manual or a CVT. The other engine will be a 2.0-liter four-cylinder which will be offered as the base motor. The brand has also confirmed that we will be getting both an Si model and a hardcore Civic Type R in the United States.

    This is not the hatchback. It is a sedan based on the Concept B by Honda. Possibly a Honda hybrid like Insight or Civic Hybrid

      Also, the other engine option for the Civic had already been announced. It is a DOHC direct injected 2.0 liter naturally aspirated Earth Dreams motor. The 6-speed manual will only be for the Civic Si.

    Was it really "your" photographers? Or do they belong to a company that had all these spy pictures lined up from the beginning and are releasing them in a controlled manner to whoever pays for them?
