2017 Honda Civic X Hatchback Dimensions, Size & Specs

With mirrors opened, the Honda Civic X Hatchback's width extends to 2076 mm (81.7 inches). This wider footprint needs to be considered during parking maneuvers, especially in tight spaces. While the car remains relatively compact, the increased width with mirrors could slightly limit maneuverability in very narrow parking spots.

The Honda Civic X Hatchback features a ride height or ground clearance of 129 mm (5.1 inches). This moderate clearance allows it to handle typical urban road imperfections, speed bumps, and mild uneven surfaces reasonably well. However, it may not be ideal for very rough terrain or off-road conditions where higher clearance is preferred.

The curb weight of the Honda Civic X Hatchback ranges from 1154 kg to 1287 kg (2545 - 2837 lbs), depending on trim and equipment. Its maximum permissible weight (gross vehicle weight) ranges from 1645 kg to 1860 kg (3627 - 4101 lbs), allowing for passengers, cargo, and any additional load within safety limits.

With the rear seats in their upright position, the Honda Civic X Hatchback provides a luggage capacity between 414 liters (14.6 cubic feet) and 478 liters (16.9 cubic feet), depending on the specific configuration. When the rear seats are folded down, the available cargo space significantly increases to between 1209 liters (42.7 cubic feet) and 1267 liters (44.7 cubic feet), offering ample room for larger items or extended luggage.

Most standard residential garages measure approximately 2.4 to 2.7 meters (7.9 to 8.9 feet) in width and 5 to 6 meters (16.4 to 19.7 feet) in depth. Given the Civic X Hatchback's length of 4518 mm (4.5 meters or 177.8 inches) and width of 1799 mm (1.8 meters or 70.8 inches), it fits comfortably within a typical garage. Even with mirrors opened measuring 2076 mm (2.08 meters or 81.7 inches), it usually fits without issue. Clearance for doors and additional storage may vary depending on the specific garage size.

Compared to the ninth-generation Honda Civic Hatchback, the Civic X Hatchback generally offers a larger and more refined size. The tenth generation has improved length, width, and height, providing better interior space and cargo capacity. Specifically, the tenth generation is longer and wider, contributing to enhanced passenger comfort and more versatile luggage space compared to the older generation, which was slightly more compact but less spacious overall.

The Honda Civic X Hatchback is competitive within the compact hatchback segment. Its length of 4518 mm and cargo space up to 1267 liters with seats folded is slightly roomier than rivals like the Volkswagen Golf and Mazda3 Hatchback, which tend to have similar length but slightly less maximum cargo capacity. The Civic's width and ground clearance also strike a balance between sporty styling and practical usability, positioning it well against competitors in terms of everyday functionality and cargo versatility.

The Honda Civic X Hatchback offers a variety of rim sizes, including 8J x 16, 8J x 17, and 7J x 17 wheels. Tire sizes commonly include 215/55 R16 and 235/45 R17. Larger rims with wider tires typically improve handling and road grip, enhancing the car’s sporty character and cornering stability, while smaller wheels may offer a more comfortable ride and better fuel efficiency.
