How much does the 2021 Honda Civic cost?

Prices have softened 4.05% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,684 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $18,965.87, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2021 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — the 2021 Honda Civic earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Cost effectiveness.

Owners consistently praise its stylish design, great fuel economy, and comfortable ride. They also like the spacious trunk and enjoyable driving experience.

The trade-offs are familiar: the base engine is underwhelming, the technology feels outdated, and the interior materials can seem cheap.

For you, that means this Civic makes the most sense if you value style, efficiency, and everyday usability more than the latest cabin tech. It also fits shoppers who want a compact car with multiple body styles and broad appeal.

29.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are still some attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2021 Honda Civic reliable?

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

The owner feedback also points to a car that feels dependable, fuel-efficient, and easy to count on over time. That kind of consistency matters if you want a used car that should fit into daily life without drama.

Honda’s own commentary reinforces that sense of durability and peace of mind, with the Civic framed as a car you can rely on for reliability, fuel economy, and safety. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the Civic’s core durability and more about finding one that has been maintained well and not worn down by heavy use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Honda Civic?

At 62.3% 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 multiple owners. Focus on overall condition, signs of wear in the cabin, and whether the car’s equipment works as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the most basic version, with a 5-inch LCD screen, Bluetooth, and a 1.0-amp USB port, while the Sport adds a 7-inch high-definition touchscreen, an eight-speaker sound system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, text-messaging support, basic HondaLink connected services, and a more powerful 1.5-amp USB port. EX adds HD Radio and SiriusXM satellite radio, and Touring brings navigation with voice recognition, digital traffic, and a 10-speaker premium audio system.
• Powertrain: LX and Sport use an adequate 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque, paired with a CVT and front-wheel drive. EX, EX-L, and Touring get a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 174 hp and 162 lb-ft, and the turbo engine is the stronger choice.
• Safety package: Every Civic gets Honda Sensing, which includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, Road Departure Mitigation, and Lane Keeping Assist System. Automatic high-beam headlights and a multi-angle reversing camera are also standard. LaneWatch is available starting with EX trim, and there is no traditional radar-based blind-spot warning system.
• Infotainment: The LX has a 5-inch LCD screen, Bluetooth, and a 1.0-amp USB port. The Sport upgrades to a 7-inch high-definition touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, text-messaging support, basic HondaLink connected services, and a 1.5-amp USB port. Touring adds navigation with voice recognition, digital traffic, and a 10-speaker premium audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The CVT helps fuel economy, and the test car averaged 34.8 mpg on a 140-mile driving loop, beating the EPA estimate of 33 mpg in combined driving.

Which 2021 Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2021 Honda Civic is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, and Touring.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, but it is the most stripped-down version, so you give up the larger touchscreen and the more modern smartphone integration that make the Civic easier to live with.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, an eight-speaker audio system, and the stronger tech setup without jumping all the way to the pricier trims.
• EX: This is the smart step up if you want the turbocharged 1.5-liter engine and also want HD Radio, SiriusXM, and LaneWatch starting here.
• EX-L: This trim keeps the turbo engine and is the natural choice if you want a more upscale feel without going all the way to Touring.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped version, with navigation, digital traffic, and the 10-speaker premium audio system, and it is also the trim tied to the top IIHS safety recognition.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Honda Civic?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you know what you want.

• Deal availability: 29.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,684 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.05% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 62.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $18,965.87, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Honda Civic's resale value?

The current average of $19,349 sits slightly below last year's $20,165.

That softer pricing suggests the Civic is still in demand, but buyers have a bit more room to negotiate than they did a year ago. If you buy well now, you may be able to protect more of your value later because you are starting from a lower entry point.

The Civic’s broad appeal, strong owner satisfaction, and reputation for reliability all help support future demand. For a seller, that usually means a used Civic should remain easier to move than many rivals, especially if it is clean, well maintained, and equipped with desirable features.

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

Is the 2021 Honda Civic safe?

The 2021 Civic earns a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives it five-star ratings in every single assessment.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is standard, and it includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, Road Departure Mitigation, and Lane Keeping Assist System. Automatic high-beam headlights and a multi-angle reversing camera are also standard.

LaneWatch is available starting with EX trim, but there is no traditional radar-based blind-spot warning system, and there is no rear cross-traffic warning system. The IIHS Top Safety Pick designation applies only to Touring trim, which has the top-rated set of LED headlights.

Should I buy a 2021 Honda Civic or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 29.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 62.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.05% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Honda is retiring this generation, but it still offers three body styles and the Type R performance variant.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $18,751, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $19,349 average.
• It adds minor updates, more standard safety, and more manual transmissions.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $22,540, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $19,349 average.
• It was redesigned with stronger engineering and technology.

The bottom line: If you want the outgoing Civic with strong owner satisfaction, broad body-style choice, and softer pricing, the 2021 is the primary path to consider. If your budget is tighter, the 2020 can save you money while keeping much of the Civic formula intact.
