How much does the 2019 Honda Civic cost?

Prices have softened 5.99% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,921 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

If you find a listing below $17,156.05, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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 features, and they also call out its stylish appearance and good fuel economy. That lines up with the overview: you get a compact car that feels more expensive than its price suggests, with sedan, coupe, and hatchback body styles to fit different needs.

With 28.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding strong value if you shop carefully.

Is the 2019 Honda Civic reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to reliability, and it also highlights comfort and good fuel economy, which usually go hand in hand with trouble-free everyday ownership. The expert evaluation reinforces that dependability angle by describing the Civic as smooth, refined, and built to last, with controls and materials that feel durable. It also notes that the Civic is a car you can count on for a safe, comfortable commute without needing a sportier trim.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure prior maintenance and condition match the car’s strong reputation.

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

At 51.9% 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 bodywork or shows uneven wear. Focus on condition details that matter most in a used compact car: panel fit, interior wear, tire condition, brake feel, and whether all electronics work as expected. If you’re comparing multiple listings, the cleanest example with the best maintenance record is usually the safer buy.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Civic’s styling and equipment vary by trim, and the Touring trim adds LED headlights, navigation, and the top-tier stereo. The EX trim is called out as the best value because it brings the turbo engine, moonroof, power driver’s seat, and touchscreen without pushing into the highest price tier.
• Powertrain: LX and Sport sedans and coupes use a 2.0-liter inline four with 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque, while EX and above trims get a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline four with 174 horsepower and 162 pound-feet. The turbo engine is the better pick if you want quicker response and stronger mid-range acceleration.
• 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: The Civic uses an Android-based infotainment system with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Honda’s Garmin-based navigation is a standout, and LaneWatch is available on certain trims.
• Fuel efficiency: The Civic is praised for good fuel economy, and the turbo engine is described as efficient enough to pair well with the car’s balance of performance and refinement.

Which 2019 Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2019 Honda Civic is offered in 4 trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, Touring.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point if you want the lowest starting price and the Civic’s core strengths without extra frills. It makes sense if you care most about value and can live without the added comfort and convenience features found higher up.
• Sport: Choose this if you want a little more style and a sportier look without moving far up the price ladder. It adds visual flair and is a good fit if you want the Civic to feel a bit more expressive.
• EX: This is the best-value trim. It adds the turbo engine, moonroof, power driver’s seat, and touchscreen, making it the sweet spot for most shoppers.
• Touring: Pick this if you want the most upscale Civic experience, including LED headlights, navigation, and the top-tier stereo. It suits you best if you want the most features and are willing to pay for them.

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 can shop with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 28.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,921 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.99% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 51.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,156.05, 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 $17,336 sits slightly below last year's $18,441.

That softer pricing suggests the Civic has become more accessible for buyers, but it also means sellers may need to price competitively to stand out. If you own one, the model’s broad appeal, strong reputation, and solid feature set should help support demand, especially for cleaner examples with good maintenance history. The current market also shows that well-priced Civics still move, which matters if you plan to sell in the near future.

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 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the 2019 Civic five-star ratings in all categories, with the exception of four-star ratings for the coupe's passenger-side frontal crash rating.

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

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim level except the Si and Type R. It includes forward-collision alert with emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. That gives you a strong standard safety package for the money, and it’s a major reason the Civic stands out in this class.

One caveat is that the coupe’s passenger-side frontal crash result is lower than the rest of the NHTSA results, so coupe shoppers should pay extra attention to crash-test context and trim-specific equipment.

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:

• 28.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 51.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.99% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.71/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 keeps the Civic’s refined driving feel, broad body-style choice, and strong value focus.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $18,751, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $17,336 average.
• It adds more standard safety and convenience features.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2019 is the smarter buy because it combines strong owner satisfaction, a softer price, and broad appeal. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer model with added standard features, the 2020 is the better secondary path.
