Why it stands out

The 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback stands out as a practical compact car that still leans into Honda’s sporty side. In the 10th generation, the hatchback returned to the U.S. with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, two turbocharged powertrains, and sporty European-inspired styling. It was also built in the U.K. on the same global platform as the sedan and coupe, which helped give it a more cohesive, car-like feel. For shoppers who want a small car with real utility, the hatchback body and available folding rear seats make it especially appealing.

For 2018, the Civic Hatchback offered five trims and two turbocharged engine choices. The LX, EX, and EX-L used a 174-hp, 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four, while the Sport and Sport Touring got the 180-hp, 1.5-liter turbo. Standard equipment included automatic climate control, a rear-view camera, a folding rear seat, a four-speaker audio system with a USB port, and a 5-inch infotainment screen. Available features included a moonroof, blind-spot monitors, heated front and rear seats, a 7-inch infotainment screen, leather seats, navigation, and a power driver’s seat. That mix of everyday usefulness and available comfort features is a big part of the car’s appeal.

There are some tradeoffs to keep in mind. The base LX and Sport trims could be had with a six-speed manual, but a CVT was standard on the other trims. The model also had known issues in this generation, including infotainment glitches, air conditioning condenser failures, and oil dilution concerns with the turbo engines. Even so, the 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback remains attractive for buyers who want a versatile small car with strong efficiency, good equipment, and a more engaging personality than many rivals.
