5 reasons to buy the 2022 Honda Civic
1. Modern tech for a modern driver
If you're looking to keep up with car technology, the 2022 Honda Civic has a long list of standard and available tech worth checking out. Get the latest driver aids with an updated version of Honda Sensing®, which is standard on every 2022 Civic. The update adds stop-and-go for traffic jams and traffic sign recognition. In addition, you can go cordless with wireless charging for compatible devices and wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ integration on 2022 Honda Civic Touring models.
2. Refined inside and out
The 2022 Honda Civic has a whole new look and feel over previous model years. Featuring smoother lines and a smaller grille, the 2022 Civic is more understated in its appearance than in past generations. Not to be outdone, the interior gets a big boost as well. From the seats to the eye-catching grille pattern across the dashboard, the inside of the 2022 Honda Civic is as attractive as it is comfortable. Plus, improved sound-deadening provides quieter rides at highway speeds.
3. Compact outside, spacious inside
Don't be fooled by the term "compact car"—there's plenty of space inside the 2022 Honda Civic to meet your needs. In the rear, passengers have an impressive 37.4 inches of legroom. Thanks to 99 cubic feet of passenger volume, there's plenty of space for a crew of five on your next weekend trip. Plus, you can fit up to 14.8 cubic feet of cargo in the trunk of a 2022 Civic—perfect for family road trips.
4. Small engines that can
You have a choice between two engine options on the 2022 Honda Civic. A standard 2.0L four-cylinder is no slouch, making 158 hp and paired with a continuously variable transmission. At an EPA-estimated 31 mpg city and 40 mpg highway, the 2022 Honda Civic with the 2.0L engine can stretch the distance between fuel stops.
Or, choose the 2022 Honda Civic EX or Touring for a 180-hp, turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine. A CVT (continuously variable transmission) keeps the ride smooth around town and on the highway.5. Going farther between fill-ups
Both engines available in the 2022 Honda Civic are matched with a CVT to improve performance. An added benefit is going farther between fuel stops. The base-level 2.0L four-cylinder and CVT on the 2022 sedan gets an EPA-estimated 40 mpg highway and 31 mpg city.
When you opt for the EX or Touring trim on the 2022 sedan, the turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder with CVT gets an impressive EPA-estimated 42 mpg highway and 33 mpg city.Similar vehicles
