How much does the 2022 Honda Civic cost?

Prices have softened 4.23% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,802 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2022 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Honda Civic earns a 4.94/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

Owners consistently praise its blend of technology, comfort, and driving performance, along with its smooth ride and impressive fuel economy. The Civic also gets credit for its advanced features and everyday usability, which makes it appealing if you want a compact sedan that feels polished without being fussy.

The main trade-offs are a base stereo that falls short and a value proposition that may not feel especially strong. In practical terms, this is a strong fit if you want a well-rounded compact car with a more mature design and useful tech, especially if you can step beyond the most basic trim.

Only 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market is selective rather than flooded with bargains.

Is the 2022 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.94/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a car that feels dependable, with praise centered on its technology, comfort, driving performance, smooth ride, and impressive fuel economy. That kind of repeat satisfaction usually matters most when you’re trying to judge whether a used car will feel trustworthy over time.

The expert evaluation also emphasizes that the Civic reacts predictably and never behaves in a surprising fashion, which supports confidence in day-to-day use. Honda’s added maintenance perks are not part of the picture here, so your ownership risk comes down more to condition, maintenance history, and how the car was treated before you buy it.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Honda Civic?

At 72.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has had any prior damage or repair work. Focus on panel alignment, paint consistency, tire wear, and signs that the car was repaired after a collision. It also makes sense to verify that the features you want are actually present, since some desirable equipment is reserved for higher trims.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX and Sport are the most basic versions, and they miss the blind-spot warning system that appears on the EX and above. Touring adds the most upscale cabin and tech, while the base trims are more likely to leave you wanting more equipment.
• Powertrain: LX and Sport use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque, while EX and Touring get a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 180 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. Both pair with a CVT, and the turbo engine is the stronger all-around choice.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing includes Traffic Jam Assist, Level 2 adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and Lane Keeping Assist. Blind-spot warning is standard on EX and Touring, while Touring also adds rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: The standard setup uses a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Touring upgrades to a 9-inch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, HD radio, satellite radio, and navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbocharged engine is described as delivering a satisfying blend of performance and efficiency, and the Touring returned 30.4 mpg on a 95-mile driving loop.

Which 2022 Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2022 Honda Civic is offered in 4 trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, and Touring.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, but it comes with the least equipment, including only four stereo speakers and no blind-spot warning. It makes sense only if you want the lowest starting price and can live with the basics.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more appealing feature set than LX while staying below the higher-priced trims. It still lacks blind-spot warning, so you’re paying for a nicer middle ground rather than a fully loaded experience.
• EX: This is the trim to target if you want the best balance of equipment and safety. It gets the turbocharged engine and a proper blind-spot warning system on both sides, which makes it the smartest pick for younger or more safety-conscious drivers.
• Touring: This is the most upscale version, with the 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone features, premium Bose audio, navigation, and rear cross-traffic alert. It’s the right choice if you want the most complete Civic, but it asks you to pay for it.

Honda’s safety setup is strongest on EX and Touring, while LX and Sport miss blind-spot warning.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Honda Civic?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,802 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.23% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 72.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,771, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Honda Civic's resale value?

The current average of $22,284 sits slightly below last year's $23,269.

That softer pricing can work in your favor if you buy now, because you may be entering at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, the recent decline suggests there is some room for depreciation, but not a dramatic drop that would make the car hard to move later.

The Civic’s strong owner satisfaction helps support demand, especially among shoppers who value a compact car with a good reputation and broad appeal. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.94/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Honda Civic safe?

The 2022 Honda Civic earns strong safety marks from both Honda Sensing and the expert evaluation, and it adds meaningful hardware improvements over the previous generation.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing includes Traffic Jam Assist, Level 2 adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and Lane Keeping Assist. The system also benefits from a wide-view front camera and eight ultrasonic sonar sensors, and Honda adds a proper blind-spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alert on higher trims.

There are still trim-level gaps to watch for: LX and Sport do not get blind-spot warning, while EX and Touring do. The car also adds rear side-impact airbags and a rear-seat reminder system, which further strengthen its safety case.

Should I buy a 2022 Honda Civic or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 72.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.23% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.94/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Honda says the redesign, engineering, and technology were nailed with few exceptions, making this a standout year for the Civic.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $19,494, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $22,284 average.
• It’s the outgoing generation, which makes it appealing if you want a lower-cost Civic with a proven formula.

The bottom line: If you want the better-rounded Civic with newer design, stronger tech, and a more modern safety package, the 2022 is the better primary choice. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the Civic’s core strengths.
