Hatch (HW) Overview:
Honda Concerto (Hatch (HW)). With 140 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~10.6 l/100km). Weighing only 1080 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 11.5 s). The top speed reaches 185 km/h. A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Performance Verdict
Offers strong performance for an automatic, with 122 Hp providing brisk acceleration, though the automatic gearbox slightly dulls responsiveness compared to manual.
Fuel Economy
Fuel consumption of 9.2 l/100 km is acceptable for an automatic 1.6L engine from this era, but not class-leading.
