Honda finally took off the cover from the 2022 Honda Civic. It has got some interior updates, technology features, and some make-over.
The Honda Civic has a separate space in the hearts of Car Enthusiasts. It varies from revolution to evolution. When compared with the ongoing version, the 2022 Honda Civic has got some serious updates in terms of styling. Given the new 11th-generation 2022 Civic’s more mature looks, we think that’s a good thing. The new model boasts cleaner styling, carryover engines, and plenty of new features and upgrades that should result in a useful improvement.
Honda has stretched the Civic sedan’s wheelbase by 1.4 inches and widened the rear track by 0.5 inches. The tortured lines and weird angles from before are gone, replaced by a more flowing design that takes its front- and rear-end designs from the larger Accord sedan. A hatchback model will be coming later, along with Si and Type R high-performance variants that will include zestier turbo engines and manual transmissions. (The Sport model pictured here in red features Honda Performance Development accessories.)
The new Civic’s interior appears to be a significant step up, with an appealing design, nicer materials, and better technology offerings. A 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system comes standard and features volume and tuning knobs and plenty of hard buttons. The Touring model features a larger 9.0-inch touchscreen along with a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard equipment, and the larger screen allows for wireless mirroring capabilities. An upgraded Bose audio system is also included on the Civic Touring.
A full complement of driver-assistance features is standard across the board, and rear-seat side airbags are included for the first time on a Civic. Honda has yet to detail the Civic’s standard and optional equipment but we do know the lineup include LX, Sport, EX, and Touring trim levels. The LX has 16-inch wheels with hubcaps, the Sport has 18-inch black wheels, the EX has 17-inch wheels with black inserts, and the Touring has 18-inch wheels with grey inserts. Eight exterior colors will be available, including three new ones: Meteorite Grey Metallic, Sonic Grey Pearl, and Morning Mist Blue.
We expect pricing to rise slightly along with the 2022 Civic’s more upscale demeanor, so look for the LX to start around $23,000 and the Touring to crest the $30,000 mark. Honda says the new Civic will be arriving at U.S. dealerships this summer.
