2022 Honda Civic: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Honda Civic is fully redesigned, marking the start of its 11th generation. The new family includes redesigned sedan and hatchback bodies, plus the returning Si sport sedan.
About the 2022 Honda Civic
11th generation, first U.S. model year
For 2022, Honda positions the Civic as a compact car that mixes easy daily use with a more grown-up design and a surprisingly enjoyable drive. The core pitch is simple: strong fuel economy, a roomy cabin for the class, standard safety tech, and straightforward connectivity. The hatchback adds extra cargo flexibility, while the upper trims and Si broaden the appeal, but the basic Civic identity is an everyday commuter that does not feel stripped down or dull.
The 2022 lineup ranges from the straightforward LX and sporty-looking Sport to comfort-focused turbo trims and tech-rich Touring models. EX and EX-L pair a 180-hp turbo engine with heated seats and a moonroof, while Touring and Sport Touring add a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, and Bose audio. The 200-hp Si is the driver-focused version, with a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential for better traction during hard acceleration.
What changed, by category
Structural
The sedan, hatchback, and Si move to the fully redesigned 11th-generation Civic platform. The hatchback also gets a new five-door body.
Styling
The Civic gets a cleaner exterior and a more mature, uncluttered cabin. The rear spoiler changes from standard to optional on EX, EX-L, Sport, Sport Touring, and Touring.
Powertrain
The 1.5-liter turbo engine in EX, EX-L, Touring, and Sport Touring rises from 174 to 180 horsepower and from 162 to 177 lb-ft of torque. The hatchback LX switches from its previous turbo engine to a 158-hp 2.0-liter engine with a CVT. The returning Si uses a 200-hp turbo engine and a six-speed manual.
Safety
Honda's safety suite becomes standard across the range. EX and EX-L add blind-spot monitoring, while Touring and Sport Touring gain low-speed braking control; Si includes blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic monitoring.
Tech
Every 2022 Civic gets touchscreen infotainment, a driver information display, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Touring, Sport Touring, and Si gain a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and a 12-speaker Bose system; Touring and Sport Touring also have a 10.2-inch digital instrument display and built-in navigation.

“Great sport vehicle for the cost. Handling is amazing and you can fit the car in any parking spot, whether that being parallel or your standard pull through compact spot. It is fast, and you feel like you are driving a race car.”
