How much does the 2019 Honda Civic cost?

Prices have softened 5.10% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,929 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

Is the 2019 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Honda Civic earns a 4.71/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its reliability, comfort, and safety, and they also like its stylish appearance and good fuel economy. For you, that means the Civic fits especially well if you want a compact car that feels polished without giving up everyday practicality. It also stands out for offering unusual variety in the class, with sedan, coupe, and hatchback body styles plus multiple engines and transmissions.

The market also looks healthy, with 30.1% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2019 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.71/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to reliability, and the expert evaluation says the Civic is built with smoothness and refinement that help it feel dependable in daily use. The powertrain is described as responsive and well-mannered, and the CVT is noted for avoiding the strained behavior that can hurt confidence in some other cars. The cabin materials and switchgear are also described as built to last.

If you plan to keep the car for the long haul, your biggest risk is buying one with weak maintenance history or unresolved wear items.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Honda Civic?

At 52.8% 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 been in a collision or has incomplete service records. Focus on overall condition, signs of repair quality, and whether the car has been maintained consistently. Because owner feedback mentions missing features and depreciation concerns, it also makes sense to compare equipment carefully against the asking price.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX is the most stripped-down version, while the Sport adds more exterior flash and a center-mounted exhaust. Higher trims bring more upscale equipment, and the Touring trim adds LED headlights, navigation, and the top-tier stereo.
• Powertrain: LX and Sport sedans and coupes use a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque, while EX and above trims use a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-4 with 174 hp and 162 lb-ft. The hatchback uses the turbo engine across the board, and the Si and Type R bring much stronger output.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is standard on every trim except the Si and Type R. It includes forward-collision alert with emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control.
• Infotainment: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and Honda’s Garmin-based navigation is a standout. The system is dated and slower than newer Honda interfaces, but the touchscreen still supports useful smartphone integration.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbo engine is described as the better choice for responsiveness and mid-range acceleration, and the CVT is praised for keeping the engine in its sweet spot without awkward behavior.

Which 2019 Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2019 Honda Civic is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, Touring, Si.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and are comfortable with a simpler setup.
• Sport: This adds more visual flair, including a center-mounted exhaust and some of the performance-inspired styling that makes the Civic look more upscale. It’s a good fit if you want the best-value blend of style and affordability.
• EX: This is the best-value trim. It brings the turbo engine, moonroof, power driver’s seat, and touchscreen, which makes it the sweet spot for most shoppers.
• Touring: Choose this if you want the most upscale Civic experience, including LED headlights, navigation, and the top-tier stereo.
• Si: This is the performance-focused choice, with 205 horsepower, a stick shift, and the strongest enthusiast appeal in the lineup.

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim except the Si and Type R.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Honda Civic?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without waiting for a dramatic discount.

• Deal availability: 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,929 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.10% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 52.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,152, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Honda Civic's resale value?

The current average of $17,366 sits slightly below last year's $18,300.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that pricing pressure has been real, so condition, mileage, and trim choice will matter more when it comes time to list the car. Well-kept examples should still hold appeal because the Civic remains a popular, broadly desirable compact car.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.71/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Honda Civic safe?

The 2019 Civic earns five-star ratings in all NHTSA categories except for a four-star passenger-side frontal crash rating on the coupe. It also earned top Good ratings in all six IIHS crash tests on earlier model years, and its crash-prevention features were rated Superior.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim except the Si and Type R. It includes forward-collision alert with emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. That makes the Civic unusually well equipped for safety in this price range. The main caveat is that the coupe’s passenger-side frontal result is lower than the rest of the NHTSA results.

Should I buy a 2019 Honda Civic or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 52.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.10% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.71/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 keeps the Civic’s polished driving feel, broad body-style choice, and strong safety equipment.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $18,724, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $17,366 average.
• More standard safety and convenience features arrive.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2019 is the smarter path because prices have eased and inventory is healthy. If you’re willing to pay more for a newer model with added standard features, the 2020 is the better secondary option.
