The new Honda Civic Hatchback, which hits showrooms on Monday, September 26, has been priced from $20,535.

That compares with the $19,475 you have to pay for the Civic Sedan and the $19,885 for the Civic Coupe. (All figures include an $835 destination charge.)

What marks out the Civic Hatchback from the rest of the range, apart from its more practical body, is the standard turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-4. It comes in two states tune, though.

It delivers 174 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque in LX, EX and EX-L trim, and 180 hp and 162 lb-ft in Sport and Sport Touring trim. The latter is distinguished by a center-mounted exhaust.

The $20,535 starting price is for the Civic Hatchback LX equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. Opt for the available CVT and you’ll need to pay an additional $800.

The CVT is the more economical option, with Honda quoting an EPA-estimated gas mileage of 31 mpg city, 40 highway and 34 combined.

Standard features include hill start assist, cruise control, 60/40 split-folding seats and a 7.0-inch touchscreen display. Total cargo space measures in 97.2 cubic feet.

Honda fans have a lot to look forward to in 2017. The automaker will add much sportier options to the range that year. These will be new Si and Type R models. They are expected to come with turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4s based on a similar unit fitted to the outgoing Type R, which is rated at 305 hp. It's thought that a concept previewing the new Type R will be shown on September 29 at the 2016 Paris auto show. To keep track of our coverage on the show, bookmark our dedicated hub.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
