How much does the 2019 Honda Civic cost?

Prices have softened 4.90% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,983 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2019 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Honda Civic earns a 4.7/5 user rating and a 7.8/10 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, practical, and easy to live with. It also stands out as a strong choice for shoppers who want a car that drives and feels more expensive than its price suggests.

With 32.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s meaningful market opportunity if you shop carefully.

Is the 2019 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to reliability, and the expert evaluation says the Civic is built with the kind of smoothness and refinement that helps it feel dependable over time. It also notes that the car is set up to be safe, comfortable, and reliable for daily driving. On the ownership side, the cost-effectiveness review says the Civic offers a great deal for what it delivers, and that supports the case for long-term confidence.

For used buyers, the main risk is less about the Civic’s core reputation and more about making sure the specific car has been maintained well and hasn’t been worn down by age or mileage.

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

At 49.9% 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 thorough pre-purchase inspection. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the car’s equipment and driving feel match the seller’s description. Because this model year has a large pool of listings, you can afford to be selective and walk away from anything with questionable history or uneven condition.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes a base setup with a 2.0-liter engine and a higher-spec turbocharged setup on EX and above trims, while the Touring trim adds LED headlights, navigation, and the top-tier stereo. The base trim is the one most likely to leave you wanting more equipment.
• Powertrain: The Civic offers a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder with 158 horsepower on LX and Sport sedans and coupes, plus a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-4 with 174 hp on EX and above trims. 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 level 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 a dated Android-based infotainment system, but it does include 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 offering better mid-range acceleration, and the CVT is praised for avoiding the strained feel some rivals show. No MPG figure is stated in the available data.

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, and it gives you the Civic’s core value and driving polish at the lowest price. It makes sense if you want the cheapest path into the model and can live without the extra convenience and tech found higher up.
• Sport: This trim adds more visual flair, including a center-mounted exhaust and some of the exterior flash of the Si. It’s a good fit if you want a little more style without jumping to a much pricier trim.
• EX: This is the best-value trim. It gets the turbo engine, moonroof, power driver’s seat, and touchscreen, which makes it the sweet spot for most shoppers.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped choice, with 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 level 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’re patient.

• Deal availability: 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,983 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.90% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 49.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,071, 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 $17,071 sits slightly below last year's $17,951.

That softer pricing can help you buy more confidently now, but it also means future sellers may face some pressure if the market stays loose. If you’re planning to resell later, condition and maintenance history will matter a lot because buyers tend to reward clean, well-kept examples. The Civic’s broad appeal should still help support demand, especially for trims with the turbo engine and stronger equipment.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, 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, with the exception of four stars 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 makes the Civic especially appealing if safety tech is high on your list. The main caveat is that the coupe’s passenger-side frontal crash 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:

• 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 49.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.90% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 keeps the Civic’s winning formula of style, value, and performance with only minor tweaks.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $18,252, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $17,071 average.
• It adds more standard safety and convenience features.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2019 is the smarter buy because it delivers the Civic’s core strengths at a lower average price. If you’re willing to spend more for added standard features, the 2020 is the better secondary path.
