Generations

Each generation of the Honda Civic added more technology and better powertrain options, keeping it modern and desirable. Some of the older Civic models are sought after today as classics, considering that the model is now in its 11th generation. First introduced in 1972, the car has become more popular than ever anticipated.

11th Generation (2022-present)

The biggest news with the latest generation is the sole powertrain option: a self-charging hybrid configuration. It includes a 2.0-litre petrol engine paired with an electric motor to create 184bhp. Various trims are now available, including the Elegance, Sport and Advance, with each providing a new level of connectivity and excitement.

Not only does the newest Civic have plenty of acceleration for merging with traffic, but it also has good handling for a smooth drive. The hybrid engine also brings greater efficiency, meaning fewer trips to the petrol station.

10th Generation (2016-2021)

While the saloon model features more space than the hatchback, both are fun to drive thanks to the turbocharged petrol or diesel engine. This sports car looks great and offers modern amenities. The available manual transmission makes it even more enjoyable to drive.

The only major complaint among enthusiasts is the clunky infotainment centre touchscreen, though this isn't usually a deal-breaker. A mild facelift occurred in 2019, helping to keep the lineup current.

Ninth Generation (2012-2015)

The saloon variant seems to be more comfortable than the hatchback, thanks to its multi-link rear suspension. Even though these cars are compact, there's plenty of room for both passengers and luggage. However, there have been some complaints about the interior quality, most notably with the seats and dashboards.

Just a year after its introduction, the ninth-generation Civic underwent a substantial facelift. Cosmetic changes were made in 2014 to give it new bumpers, an updated grille and varied trim levels, making it more appealing to drivers.
