How much does the 2022 Honda Civic cost?

Prices have softened 3.39% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,921 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of cars to compare.

Is the 2022 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — with a 4.94/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating, you’re looking at a model that lands strongly with both owners and testers. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

Owners consistently praise its blend of technology, comfort, and driving performance, along with its smooth ride and impressive fuel economy. The main trade-offs are a base stereo that lacks punch and a few missing features that some shoppers may notice, including wireless Apple CarPlay.

For everyday use, the Civic fits well if you want a compact sedan that balances commuting, errands, and longer drives with a polished feel. 30.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are still worthwhile opportunities in the market.

Is the 2022 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.94/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a car that feels dependable, with many drivers describing it as a vehicle they enjoy living with day after day. The expert evaluation also emphasizes trust, predictability, and a demeanor that never feels sudden or unexpected.

That said, used buyers should still pay close attention to maintenance records and condition, especially on higher-mileage examples, so you can avoid surprises over the long haul.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Honda Civic?

At 73.8% 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 hands-on inspection of body panels, alignment, tires, and interior wear. Because some listings have accident history, condition matters as much as mileage and trim level. It’s also smart to compare equipment carefully, since some desirable features are reserved for higher trims.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX and Sport are the most basic versions, and they miss some of the more desirable equipment found higher up the range. The Touring brings the most upscale cabin and the richest feature set, while the EX adds important convenience and safety upgrades over the lower trims.
• Powertrain: LX and Sport use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque, while EX and Touring get a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 180 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. Both pair with a CVT, and the turbo engine is the stronger all-around choice.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing includes Traffic Jam Assist, Level 2 adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and Lane Keeping Assist. Blind-spot warning is standard on the EX, while the Touring adds rear cross-traffic alert; the LX and Sport do not get blind-spot warning.
• Infotainment: The standard setup uses a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Touring upgrades to a 9-inch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, HD radio, satellite radio, and navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbocharged engine is described as delivering a satisfying blend of performance and efficiency, and the Touring returned 30.4 mpg on a 95-mile driving loop.

Which 2022 Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2022 Honda Civic is offered in 4 trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, and Touring.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, but it’s the most stripped-down choice. You get the core Civic experience, yet you miss out on the more appealing safety and convenience upgrades that make the higher trims easier to recommend.
• Sport: This trim adds a bit more presence and keeps the Civic’s enjoyable driving character, but it still lacks blind-spot warning. It makes sense if you want the Civic look and feel without stretching too far, though it is not the best-value pick.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the turbocharged engine and a proper blind-spot warning system on both sides. If you want the strongest mix of everyday usability, safety, and performance, this is the one to target.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped Civic, with the 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone features, premium Bose audio, and rear cross-traffic alert. It’s the right pick if you want the most upscale version and are willing to pay for it.

For safety, the EX is the trim that finally brings a proper blind-spot warning system, while the Touring adds rear cross-traffic alert.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Honda Civic?

The market looks moderate and selective, so you have room to shop carefully without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 30.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,921 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.39% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 73.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,774, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Honda Civic's resale value?

The current average of $22,560 sits slightly below last year's $23,351.

That tells you the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now if you plan to keep the car for a while. For future sellers, the softer pricing means resale value may not be climbing right now, but the Civic’s broad appeal still supports demand. Strong owner satisfaction also helps keep used interest healthy when it’s time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.94/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Honda Civic safe?

The 2022 Honda Civic earns strong marks from both major crash-test organizations, including a Top Safety Pick+ result from IIHS and five-star ratings from NHTSA.

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

Honda Sensing is the standard driver-assistance suite, and it includes Traffic Jam Assist, Level 2 adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, Lane Keeping Assist, blind-spot warning on the EX, and rear cross-traffic alert on the Touring. The main safety gap is that the LX and Sport do not get blind-spot warning.

Should I buy a 2022 Honda Civic or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 30.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 73.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.39% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.94/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Honda’s redesign, engineering, and technology are especially well received this year.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $19,353, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $22,560 average.
• It’s the outgoing generation, which can appeal if you want a lower entry price and a proven Civic formula.

The bottom line: If you want the newer redesign, stronger tech, and a more refined overall package, the 2022 is the better primary choice. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the Civic’s core strengths.
