Overview

Written by automotive expert Mark Takahashi

5/12/2022

The Honda Civic has a reputation built on 50 years of affordability, efficiency and durability, and the 2022 redesign looks to keep that tradition going strong. This 11th-generation Civic gets a thorough makeover inside and out. Some may say the new Civic's more conventional design is boring compared to the previous model's flamboyance, but we contend it's cleaner and more refined.

There's little new under the hood, where you'll still find a base four-cylinder engine or a turbocharged four-cylinder that provides quicker acceleration. As for technology features, Honda is often slower than other automakers to incorporate exotic features into its more budget-friendly cars. However, this Civic does have a few new additions. On the top-level Touring and Si trims, for instance, there's a wireless charging pad, a digital instrument panel, and a 9-inch touchscreen with additional wireless functionality for CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

We're impressed with the 2022 Honda Civic. While you might want to take a look at the refined Mazda 3, feature-packed Kia Forte or stylish new Hyundai Elantra, the Civic tops the class thanks to its fun-to-drive nature, roominess and high fuel efficiency. Check out our Expert Rating to get our full evaluation of the Civic's performance, roominess and more.

What's It Like to Live With

Fresh off naming the Honda Civic our Edmunds Top Rated Sedan for 2022, we added a Honda Civic Si to our long-term review fleet. That means rowing through the gears of our manual Civic Si for 20,000 miles and 12 months to see what we like and dislike about one of our favorite cars. Check out all of our experiences with the 2022 Honda Civic Si.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Rex Tokeshi-Torres

Great

8.1

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Honda Civic on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the Civic drive? We tested a Civic Touring sedan, which has the turbocharged engine. At our test track it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 7.9 seconds. This is a little quicker than average for the small sedan class. It feels a little lazy off the line, but power grows steadily and quickly so you never feel the need to floor it like you would with the base 2.0-liter engine. The Civic's continuously variable automatic transmission is tuned well to deliver smooth power and quick responsiveness when you need a burst of speed.

Around turns, the Civic is stable and sporty, instilling confidence and providing some entertainment behind the wheel. The tires make a lot of noise, but they maintain a surprising amount of grip on the road, which also aids in above-average braking performance. Ultimately this Civic is easy and effortless to drive, which is precisely what we'd want from an affordable sedan.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Civic? The Civic's suspension does a pretty good job of smoothing out bumps in the road. It doesn't ride as comfortably as some other small cars, but given the car's sporty handling we think it's an acceptable trade-off. The front seats are supportive, and the leather upholstery breathes well to help keep you cool on hot days. But note that the seats lack adjustable lumbar support, which could be an issue for people with sensitive lower backs.

The climate control layout is a clear improvement over the previous generation's setup, with great vent coverage for the cabin. Road noise is noticeable at any speed and can be rather intrusive on coarse surfaces. Wind noise is thankfully more subdued, and the rest of the interior feels solidly constructed and free of vibration.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The cabin has an attractive design. All controls are within easy reach and intuitive to use. It's also roomy — the front can comfortably seat taller and shorter passengers equally well, and the rear seats will accommodate average-size adults with no problem. Rear legroom is abundant and headroom is adequate.

Outward visibility is aided by narrow front roof pillars and sideview mirrors that are mounted on the doors, freeing up your view out front. The back window is a bit short, but the multi-angle rearview camera helps you spot anything that might be behind you when backing out of a parking spot.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The Civic's touchscreen infotainment system is located high on the dash to help you keep your eyes on the road. It has intuitive on-screen menus and responds quickly to your inputs.

The graphics for the optional integrated navigation system look a little dated, but the map functions just fine. Our Touring trim had the larger 9-inch screen, while lower trims get a smaller 7-inch version. Most users will probably opt to use the standard Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone projection anyway. In the Touring trim, these systems can connect to your phone wirelessly. You can use a USB cable if you'd prefer, and we found it provided quicker connection speeds.

Honda's new camera-based advanced driving aids work well for the most part. We did experience some false alarms for frontal collision and the lane keeping assist got confused by faded lane markings, but these occurrences were infrequent. The adaptive cruise control sometimes brakes a little late, but it otherwise does an admirable job of reducing the burden of driving in stop-and-go traffic.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The Civic sedan's trunk can hold up to 14.8 cubic feet of cargo, which is on the larger side for the class. The space is usable thanks to minimal intrusion from the Civic's wheelwells and trunk hinges. You can fold down the rear seats to provide more cargo space, though the pass-through opening between the trunk and rear seat isn't very big.

One thing we really liked about the previous Civic was that it had lots of clever interior storage. Honda implemented more traditional storage spots for this new Civic, which is a small step back in our opinion. Still, the center armrest bin can hold a good amount, the cupholders are large, and a rubberized charging pad in front can help keep your phone from sliding around as it's charging.

If you've got little kids, the Civic offers three top anchor spots for front-facing child safety seats, and the main lower anchor points are easy to access. Larger rear-facing infant carriers will likely compromise front passenger space a little, but this is true for most cars in this segment.

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Civic Touring (which has the turbocharged engine) will get 34 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The EX is even better at 36 mpg combined. Either way, the Civic bests its most direct competitors by about 3 to 4 mpg. We managed to achieve 33.4 mpg from our Civic Touring test car on our mixed-driving evaluation route. This isn't quite as high as we might have hoped given the EPA's numbers, but it's still an impressive showing.

Value

8/10

Is the Civic a good value? The Honda Civic may cost a bit more than the Kia Forte and Toyota Corolla, but it justifies the added cost with better performance, laudable fuel economy, a few more features and a significantly nicer interior. It has the kind of refinement that we would have expected from the more expensive Honda Accord. We recommend stepping up to at least the EX trim since it comes with the more powerful and efficient turbocharged engine.

Honda's warranty remains fairly unremarkable compared to what other manufacturers offer. But the company builds a good product that generally holds its value well.

Wildcard

8.5/10

This little Honda packs a surprising amount of performance. This is especially true of the sporty handling that lets more spirited drivers actually have some fun. Usually, these abilities are reserved for the more performance-focused models like the Civic Si and Type R.

This Civic replaces its predecessor's busy design with a simpler and more elegant style. It eliminates a lot of the clutter and fake vents for a more mature interpretation yet still leaves room for more exciting treatments.

2022 Honda Civic trim level differences

The 2022 Honda Civic is available as a small sedan or four-door hatchback. There are five trim levels for the sedan: LX, Sport, EX, Touring and Si. The hatchback comes in similar LX, Sport, EX-L and Sport Touring trims. Each body style trim progressively adds more standard features. The EX/EX-L and Touring/Sport Touring also have a more powerful engine than the standard model, while the Si increases horsepower further still. Feature highlights include:

Which Civic trim does Edmunds recommend?

The EX trim is a solid choice for most Civic shoppers. Compared to the LX and Sport, the EX gets you the more powerful and efficient engine plus some appealing extras such as heated front seats, an extra USB port and a blind-spot monitor.

Love my car, hate the sensors

Cindy, 03/25/2022

2022 Honda Civic Touring 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

The car is fun and sporty to drive. If I need to pass someone or pick up some speed, I just kick it into sport mode and it takes off. The gas mileage is outstanding! But I’ve had the car is in the shop 3 times now because a back brake sensor is blown. I bought it so I wouldn’t have to be in the shop. I bought the car in June. In October, while I was out of town, the sensor blew the first …

Slow and Cheaply made

2022 Honda Civic Si 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Should be faster than it is. Interior rattles for days. If you can touch a surface, it probably has a rattle. Makes the experience cheap feeling. Passenger door rattles bad from bass so the bose system is useless on anything besides low to med volume. Steering wheel sticks and is a major safety issue. I can't fathom how honda didn't test the steering in this car. Car pulls timing bad in …

So near perfect, yet so far from perfect

Robert, 11/14/2021

2022 Honda Civic Touring 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

Bear in mind, I am reviewing the 2022 Touring Civic and all the equipment that comes with it. This is my fourth Civic since 2013, I'm very familiar with this car. Exterior Styling: a very attractive vehicle. Mine is black and when clean it is almost a head turner. Put the four AUDI Os on the front and no one would know. Honda has turned the Civic into a beautiful car. The alloy wheels … are also very classy looking. The hood and roofline are almost retro looking due the soft angles and rounded contours. It's as if they were inspired by the designs of vehicles in the 40's. Interior styling: Beautiful to look at. The honeycomb grate running along the dash is genius. The car is still a civic inside, but that grate adds a big dash of panache. It is shiny black plastic which would benefit from an upgrade to, say, a silver metallic brush type of finish. I expect to see it in subsequent iterations of this model. The joystick levers for the vents are very functional and very easy to use. Everything feels solid. Engine. I love it. the three way power switch really does work in a very obvious manner (unlike the old econ and regular which were different, but nothing amazing). In Economy mode, the car has more pep and acceleration than previous civics. The regular mode gives a quite noticeable power boost. The sport mode is fantastic for zipping onto a highway or moving past someone in a hurry. Brakes: excellent. Handling: Very, very good. The 18" tires have a lot to do with this, but see the problems they help cause, below. The best handling of any civic I've owned. Bose sound system - Fantastic. Sensors: the sensors on this car (approaching vehicle, back up, approaching object, etc.) are excellent. Better than on my Subaru outback--which is very good. Gas Mileage- Amazing. I easily get into the 40 MPH realm on the highway. More aggressive driving will diminish, but the MPG on this Civic is the best yet. NOW, HERE ARE THE PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE BIG Lumbar support - remember, this is supposedly a "Touring" model. Lumbar support is virtually non-existent. It is hard to understand how Honda missed this as it takes about twenty minutes of driving to realize the problem. It's hard to do any real "touring" when the back support is so poor. I'm going to buy a separate lumbar pillow. Inexcusable, Honda. Cabin noise - this "touring" vehicle is one of the noisiest cabins I've ever been in; not due to wind noise, but road noise. It is so prominent that on most highways the voice controls won't work properly--the noise interferes with your commands! And this isn't due solely to the 18" tires--the cabin obviously needs some serious noise dampening if this is going to be a "touring" model. I dread this winter when I have to put on snow tires. Seating - The buckets are very "tight"--not very comfortable, although the lumbar issue may exaggerate this. The front driver seat should be able to go about 1" higher. It sits too low at it's highest point so I'm constantly adjusting to get a good view of the road. I'm 5'9". Shocks - the shocks on this "touring" model are, well, shocking. They do not absorb jolts well at all. relatively minor bumps will jar the car VERY hard. It's another unforgivable issue with a "touring" model. Electronics - the infotainment screen is maddeningly and unnecessarily confusing. My Subaru outback system is much more user friendly and intuitive. Bottom line: Honda, don't put a "touring" sticker on a car unless you mean it. I know it's just a civic, but, really, the above issues are inexcusable. I would have preferred an EXL model rather than have to upgrade financially to a "touring" model just to get leather and a better sound system. If you want leather you have to pay for a touring model. All in all, an excellent car with glaring and incomprehensible deficits. Is it my favorite civic thus far? I guess so, but a few easy upgrades of serious deficits would have made this car the best car in it's class and even some higher classes. I anticipate that Honda will address these issues in the next few years of this models existence. I wish I would have waited for them to do it.

Good value, some issues.

2022 Honda Civic LX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

I recently moved into a Civic LX sedan after driving a 2016 Lexus for 6 years. I am extremely happy with the feature set as well as the fit and finish of the Civic. I expected to be pretty underwhelmed after moving from a car that had an MSRP of over double my new LX but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The handling at everyday driving speeds is more than fair, the steering feels tight … and responsive. The ride is much smoother than I anticipated. I wouldn’t take it down winding roads for a joy ride but I don’t think many people that are considering a Civic would. It’s a car that knows what it is, a everyday driver with good fuel economy and a solid set of quality of life features. One negative I noticed is that I think they missed the mark a bit by not including TPMS sensors but at the price point I can’t complain too much. It’s a fairly robust package either way. I'm editing this review now much later to share some problems I have had with this vehicle. The windshield wipers are the most poorly designed thing on the car. I cannot believe the current iteration was allowed to make it out of the design phase. First of all, in order to raise the wipers (Freezing Rain, Cold snowing conditions) you have to put your wipers in "service mode". The consequences of not doing this is damage to the paint on your hood! Ask me how I know! The wipers themselves are hilariously bad. Poor contact to the windshield, a streaky mess. As an added bonus you cannot put on a 3rd party wiper because Honda has graciously given us a proprietary clip so good luck. You get garbage and you will like it. Lastly, mounting the sprayers for the washer fluid on the wipers is an absolute smooth brain move. They freeze, the sprayers get clogged with ice and snow. Its a disaster. The exterior styling is another plus for me as I like the revamped front end, it’s sleek and aggressive compared to older Civic models. The rear of the car could use the same treatment, it’s a bit safe for my tastes styling wise but I wouldn’t call it ugly. Pros: Handling Feature Set (Auto High Beams, Lane Departure, Adaptive Cruise, Blind Spot Detection, Collision Avoidance, Apple Car Play) Exterior Styling Fit and Finish Fuel Economy Cons: No TPMS Inability to default Auto Engine Stop to Off The 2022 Civic LX may not be the cheapest car in its class but I think the combination of sleek modern styling coupled with a robust feature package make me glad I chose it over competitors in its segment.
