While it's slightly more expensive than most competitors, you'll find that it offers great value due to the number of standard features for the price.

What's new

No changes for 2024
Part of the 11th Civic generation introduced for 2022

Overview

The current-generation Honda Civic is one of the automaker's best yet. In fact, our test team named the Civic the Edmunds Top Rated Car for 2023. Just about everything you'd want from a small sedan or hatchback is here, including plenty of interior room, pleasing performance, and nearly all of the latest technology and driver assist features Honda has on offer. There's even the high-performance 315-horsepower Type R version to satisfy driving enthusiasts.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Honda Civic LX 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.64 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: Civic sedan or hatchback?

We like that Honda offers the Civic as a sedan or hatchback. The main difference between the two is, as you can likely guess, is cargo space. The sedan has a traditional trunk that can hold 14.8 cubic feet of stuff. That's a respectable amount of space for a small sedan. But pick the hatchback, which has a slightly more bulbous profile and a lift-up rear hatch, and you get 24.5 cubes of space behind the rear seats. The lift-up hatch also makes it easier to load bulky items in the back. The Civic hatchback does cost more than the sedan but we think having a more versatile cargo area is worth it.

Competitors to consider

Overall, the 2024 Honda Civic is a great pick for a small car. But it can be worth your time to check out a few alternatives. Besides the Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Corolla, we also recommend the value-packed Kia Forte or the refined Mazda 3. Be sure to read our Expert Rating below for our test team's take on what you can expect regarding the Civic's performance, comfort and more.

What’s it like to live with?

Not only did we name the Honda Civic our Edmunds Top Rated Sedan for 2022, but we also added one to our long-term review fleet. We opted for the Civic Si so that we could row through the manual transmission's gears for 20,000 miles and 12 months and learn what we like and dislike about one of our top picks. Check out all of our experiences with the 2022 Honda Civic Si.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.0/10

How does the Civic Hatchback drive? We tested a Civic Sport Touring hatchback, which has the turbocharged four-cylinder engine. At our test track, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 7.9 seconds, a little quicker than the small-hatchback class average. It feels a little lazy from a stop, but power grows steadily and quickly. Unlike the base engine, you never really feel the need to floor it. The Civic's continuously variable automatic transmission is well tuned and responsive when you need a burst of speed. The available manual transmission has an excellent clutch, making it easy to use and buttery to shift.

Around turns, the Civic is stable, sporty and entertaining to drive. The tires make a lot of squealing noise but otherwise maintain a surprising amount of grip on the road. Braking performance is strong too. Ultimately, this Civic is easy and effortless to drive, which is precisely what we'd want from an affordable sporty hatchback.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Civic Hatchback? 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.

Build & Price

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? The Civic hatch has an attractive cabin 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. While there's plenty of rear shoulder room and legroom, the sloping roof means taller passengers may find headroom lacking. Otherwise, you won't have much trouble with space in the Civic.

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 roofline causes you to double-check over-the-shoulder views, and the back window is a bit short, but the multi-angle rearview camera helps you spot anything that might be behind you.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? The Civic's infotainment screen is mounted near the top of the dash, so you don't have to take your eyes off the road for too long to adjust the radio or available navigation. It's intuitive to use and quick to respond.

The graphics look a little dated, but the map functions just fine. Our Sport Touring hatchback trim had the larger 9-inch screen, while lower trims get a smaller 7-inch version. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard. While both systems are wireless on the Sport Touring trim, we found using a USB cable provided quicker connection speeds.

Honda's advanced driving aids work well for the most part. We did experience a few false alarms and overzealous systems when lane markings were poor, but these occurrences were infrequent. The adaptive cruise control sometimes brakes a little late, but it generally works well to reduce the burden of driving in stop-and-go traffic.

Storage

8.0/10

How’s the storage? The Civic hatchback's trunk can hold up to 24.5 cubic feet of cargo, which is above average for the class. The hatch offers plenty of space since the wheelwells don't intrude too much into the cargo area. You can fold down the rear seats to provide more space. Unfortunately, the surface isn't completely flat due to a mild hump that leads into the rear seating area.

One thing we really liked about the previous Civic was its clever interior storage. Honda implemented more traditional storage spots for this new Civic, 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 kids, the Civic offers three 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

8.0/10

How economical is the Civic Hatchback? The EPA estimates the Civic Sport Touring hatchback (which has the turbocharged engine) will get 35 mpg in combined city/highway driving. This is a few mpg better than what most other rival hatchbacks get. However, we observed just 30.6 mpg from our Civic Sport Touring test car on our mixed-driving evaluation route. This isn't as high as we hoped given the EPA's numbers, but it's still a good result.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Civic Hatchback a good value? The Honda Civic hatchback may cost a bit more than the competition, but its pleasing performance and many standard features justify the added cost. In interior quality, it comes close to matching the Mazda 3, the class benchmark. 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-L trim for the hatchback since it comes with the more powerful and efficient turbocharged engine.

Honda's warranty, which lasts for three years/36,000 miles (basic) and five years/60,000 miles (powertrain), remains fairly unremarkable compared to what other manufacturers offer. But the company builds a good product that generally holds its value well. Roadside assistance, available for the first three years/36,000 miles, is standard fare for this class.

Wildcard

8.5/10

This little Honda hatch has a good amount of performance. The sporty handling lets more spirited drivers actually have some fun rather than feeling soft or disconnected. Usually, these abilities are reserved for the more performance-focused models like the Civic Si and Type R, which tells you how good this car is.

This Civic replaces its predecessor's youthful design with a simpler and more elegant style inside and out, eliminating a lot of the clutter and fake vents, which makes it more appealing to a broader audience. The interior also has a better, more premium feel to it than previous years.

Which Civic does Edmunds recommend?

For most shoppers, the midlevel EX (sedan)/EX-L (hatchback) trim will offer the best value in the Civic lineup. It includes more standard features than the base Sport and a more powerful yet fuel-efficient engine for not much more money.

Honda Civic models

The 2024 Honda Civic is available as either a sedan or 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 (there is no Si equivalent for the hatch) and then tops the lineup with the high-performance Type R trim.

Just bought a 2024 lx hatchback. I love this car! I could not imagine how well this car was made. It handles like a dream, and is rather sporty. It sips fuel and provides endless fun while hitting the back roads. If you want to buy a car that is fun to drive, safe and reliable look no further.

Honda Civic vs. Kia Forte

There's a lot to like with the Kia Forte. It offers a lot of features for less money than most rivals, Civic included. A long warranty only increases the value further. But the Forte lacks some refinement compared to the Civic, with a rougher ride quality and a smaller interior that's not as well appointed as the Honda's.

Compare Honda Civic & Kia Forte features

Honda Civic vs. Hyundai Elantra

The Hyundai Elantra is closely related to the Kia Forte and shares many of the same pros and cons. The Kia lacks a high-performance version, however, which is where the Elantra and its high-performance Elantra N variant come in. It's one of the best-driving compacts we've ever tested, and it should put the new Civic Type R on its toes with its powerful turbocharged engine, sporty handling and significantly lower price tag.

Compare Honda Civic & Hyundai Elantra features

Honda Civic vs. Mazda 3

The Mazda 3 is smaller than the Civic in terms of passenger and cargo space but counters with a premium interior, sporty handling and sharp looks. The Mazda 3 2.5 Turbo makes up to 250 hp and is a great alternative to the Civic Si. And like the Civic, the 3 is available as a sedan and hatchback. One final advantage for the Mazda 3: You can get it with all-wheel drive, which is great if you frequently drive in wintry conditions. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Mazda 3 for more.
