Better in nearly every way, the ’22 Honda Civic improves in the areas that matter most.
With the new ’22 Civic sedan, Honda isn’t trying to reinvent the compact car. Compared to previous Civic redesigns, most recently the still-polarizing 10
th-generation model that debuted for the ’16 model year, the ’22 is mild instead of wild.
At a glance, it resembles a Honda Accord, sparking instant familiarity. The ’22 Civic sedan also represents a heavy reworking of the existing car’s platform, with structural upgrades, improved safety architecture, more efficient powertrains and substantially enhanced technology.
But don’t assume this is more a refresh than a redesign, because based on our firsthand experience doing everything but driving the ’22 Civic, it deserves its status as one of America’s best-selling cars (by retail sales).
