How much does the 2019 Honda Civic cost?

Prices have softened 5.44% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,962 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2019 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — owners rate it 4.71/5, and experts give it 7.83/10. 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. In practical terms, that lines up well with the Civic’s role as a compact car that feels polished without giving up everyday usability. If you want a small car that drives like something more expensive while still covering commuting and daily errands well, this model year fits that brief. There are 29.7% good or great deals in the market, so you can still find 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 the expert evaluation reinforces that this is a car you can count on for smooth, refined everyday use. The turbo engine and CVT are described as well-behaved, and the car’s overall balance of comfort and driving enjoyment suggests solid dependability over time. Honda also positions the Civic as a great deal for what it offers, which supports the case for long-term ownership.

For used buyers, the main risk is less about the Civic’s basic durability and more about how well a specific car has been maintained and equipped.

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

At 52.7% 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 higher mileage or incomplete service records. Focus on condition, equipment, and whether the car has the features you want, since some trims leave out desirable items. It also helps to compare listings carefully, because the market includes a wide spread of prices and equipment levels.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Civic’s trims vary in style and equipment, and the base versions are more basic than higher trims. The EX trim stands out as the best-value choice because it adds the turbo engine, moonroof, power driver’s seat, and touchscreen.
• Powertrain: LX and Sport sedans and coupes use a 2.0-liter inline-4 with 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque, while EX and above trims get a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-4 with 174 hp and 162 lb-ft. The hatchback uses the turbo engine on all trims, 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: The Civic uses an Android-based infotainment system, and it includes standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Honda’s Garmin-based navigation is a standout, and LaneWatch is available on certain trims.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbo engine is described as quicker to respond and better in mid-range acceleration than the base 2.0-liter, and the CVT is praised for avoiding the strained feel common in some other CVTs.

Which 2019 Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2019 Honda Civic is offered in 6 trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, Touring, Si, Type R.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Civic’s core strengths at the lowest price. It makes sense if you want the basics and plan to keep costs down.
• Sport: This adds more style and a sportier look, including a center-mounted exhaust and some of the visual flair of the Si. It’s a good pick if you want a little more personality without moving up to the turbo trims.
• EX: This is the best-value trim. It adds the turbo engine, moonroof, power driver’s seat, and touchscreen, which makes it the sweet spot for most shoppers.
• Touring: This is the most upscale mainstream trim, and it adds features like LED headlights, navigation, and the top-tier stereo. It suits you if you want the most comfort and tech without going to the performance models.
• Si: This is the performance-focused choice, with a stronger turbo engine and a stick shift only. It’s for you if driving enjoyment matters more than convenience.
• Type R: This is the extreme performance model with the most power and a manual transmission only. It’s for buyers who want maximum performance and are willing to pay for it.

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 is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 29.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,962 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.44% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 52.7% 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 $17,343 sits slightly below last year's $18,341.

That price movement suggests the Civic has softened enough to create a better buying opportunity now, but it also means future sellers may need to price competitively. If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you can help protect your exit value later. The model’s broad appeal and strong owner satisfaction should continue to support demand.

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 Honda Civic earns five-star ratings in all NHTSA categories except the coupe, which earns four-star passenger-side frontal crash ratings. 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 crash result is lower than the rest of the lineup.

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:

• 29.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 52.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.44% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.71/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 keeps the Civic’s style, value, and performance formula with only minor tweaks.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $18,722, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $17,343 average.
• It adds more standard safety and convenience features.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2019 is the stronger buy because prices have eased and the model still delivers the Civic’s core strengths. If you’re willing to pay more for a newer version with added standard features, the 2020 is the better secondary path.
