Honda Civic (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Smooth and efficient hybrid system	Rear headroom and boot space tighter than on previous Civic
Comfortable and refined to drive	Performance only so-so
Pleasant interior and lots of standard equipment	Purchase prices are rather high

Quick Summary

The Honda Civic (2022-present), now in its 11th generation, is a practical and affordable family hatchback that has earned its place as one of the world's best-selling cars. Available exclusively as a petrol-electric hybrid (e:HEV), it combines a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with two electric motors to deliver 180bhp. The self-charging hybrid system seamlessly switches between electric-only, hybrid, and engine-drive modes, achieving an impressive official fuel economy of 60.1mpg. The interior is classy and well-constructed, with a user-friendly infotainment system and plenty of standard equipment across all three trim levels: Elegance, Sport, and Advance.

The Civic is a pleasant and refined car to drive, offering a smooth ride, good body control, and responsive steering. Whilst the 0-62mph time of around 7.8-8.1 seconds is unremarkable, the drivetrain responds eagerly from any rev range, making progress easy and relaxed. The boot capacity of 410 litres is slightly reduced compared to the previous generation due to hybrid components, and rear headroom is tighter due to a lower roofline for improved aerodynamics. However, rear legroom is more generous thanks to an increased wheelbase. Running costs are competitive, with servicing covered by Honda's Three Service Plan for the first three years or 37,500 miles.

Best for: Buyers seeking a practical, comfortable, and refined family hatchback with excellent fuel efficiency, solid build quality, and plenty of standard equipment.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum boot space, rear headroom, or strong performance, or buyers seeking lower purchase prices than comparable rivals.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Civic if: You want a practical, comfortable, and refined family hatchback with excellent fuel efficiency, solid build quality, and plenty of standard equipment.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum boot space, rear headroom, strong performance, or lower purchase prices than comparable rivals.

Competitive Position: The Honda Civic (2022-present) is a worthy competitor in the family hatchback segment, offering a smooth hybrid system, refined driving experience, and classy interior. Whilst the Volkswagen Golf edges ahead with slightly better value for money and the Toyota Corolla offers comparable hybrid efficiency, the Civic's blend of practicality, comfort, and standard equipment makes it one of the very best cars of its type. The Vauxhall Astra provides a more affordable alternative, though with less refinement and lower expert ratings.
