The rear-end has boomerang-shaped taillights connected by strip that runs across the upper portion, sculpted bumper with chrome accents and a rear spoiler.

The Gienia measures 4,517 mm long, 1,705 mm wide, 1,477 mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2,600 mm. Compared to the Griez, it is 22 mm shorter in overall length. Powering the Honda Gienia will be a 1.5L i-VTEC petrol engine producing 96 kW (128.6 hp) and 155 Nm of torque. A 5-speed manual gearbox will be the standard transmission, while a CVT option would also be available.

The Gienia will be manufactured by the Dongfeng-Honda JV, and sold alsongside its four-door sedan sibling later this year.
