2022 Honda Civic review: Price, specification and performance details for hybrid family hatchback
The new Civic is fractionally longer and wider than the old car, with a slightly lower roofline and shorter overhangs but there are very clear links to the 10th-generation car. After the wild styling of the eighth and ninth generations, the 10th and 11th have settled into a more conservative look that’s in keeping with most of its rivals.
Honda makes a big deal of “man-maximum, machine-minimum” engineering. In practical terms, that means keeping things simple for the driver, so the dashboard and controls have a welcome ease-of-use. There’s no massive clutter of buttons but nor does the Civic rely just on its nine-inch touchscreen for everything. It’s closer to the exemplary Mazda3 in that regard, with obvious, tactile controls for major functions, rather than the VW Group’s disastrous reliance on touchscreens.
While the old car had a choice of economical 1.0-litre or sporty 1.5-litre petrols plus a frugal 1.6-litre diesel, the new model has only one engine and transmission choice. Honda says the new 2.0-litre e:HEV full hybrid offers the economy of the 1.0, the power of the 1.5 and the torque of the diesel.
