Used 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback for Sale nearPhiladelphia, PA

How much does the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback cost?

Prices have softened 3.55% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 1,278 listings available, you have a decent amount of inventory to compare before you commit. If you find a listing below $22,808.26, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating and 7.67/10 expert rating point to a model that lands well with shoppers and testers alike. The Civic Hatchback’s appeal comes from its spacious packaging, polished design, and standard advanced safety features, which make it a strong fit if you want a compact car that feels useful without giving up style.

The trade-offs are real, though: the base engine is underwhelming, and the stereo is lacking. Even so, the hatchback body style and available manual transmission give you more flexibility if you want a compact car with a bit more personality.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Safety.

The market also looks reasonably supportive, with 30.0% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The 2022 Civic Hatchback is built around a redesigned platform and comes with standard advanced safety features, which supports confidence in everyday use. Its safety and driver-assistance systems are also more refined than before, and the car’s underlying engineering is designed to better absorb and deflect crash energy in a collision.

Honda also adds low-speed following capability and Traffic Jam Assist on CVT-equipped versions, which can make commuting less tiring. If you choose a used example, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the specific trim and transmission you want still has the equipment and condition you expect.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.1% — always verify the vehicle history report. You should still check the report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper history review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the infotainment system, brake feel, and overall interior condition, since those are the areas where this model’s strengths and weaknesses are most likely to show up in daily use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX, Sport, EX-L, and Sport Touring trims differ meaningfully in equipment. Lower trims get the simpler 7-inch touchscreen and wired smartphone integration, while the Sport Touring adds a 9-inch screen, wireless smartphone integration, navigation, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system. Base trims also miss some of the more advanced convenience and safety features that are reserved for higher versions.
• Powertrain: The LX and Sport use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque, while the EX-L and Sport Touring use a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 180 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. The turbo engine is the stronger choice if you want more effortless acceleration, and the manual transmission is available on the Sport and Sport Touring.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, Road Departure Mitigation, and Lane Keeping Assist. Low-speed following capability and Traffic Jam Assist are standard only with the CVT, while blind-spot warning is limited to the EX-L and Sport Touring and rear cross-traffic warning is limited to the Sport Touring.
• Infotainment: LX, Sport, and EX-L trims get a 7-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Sport Touring adds a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a 12-speaker Bose Centerpoint 2 audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The Sport Touring with the CVT should get 33 mpg in combined driving, while the manual version is rated at 31 mpg combined.

Which 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the simplest way into the hatchback, with the 2.0-liter engine, CVT, 7-inch touchscreen, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and standard Honda Sensing. It makes sense if you want the lowest entry point and can live without the extra convenience and audio upgrades.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the option of a 6-speed manual transmission and keeps the hatchback’s core appeal intact. If you want a more engaging setup without jumping to the pricier turbo models, this is the trim to focus on.
• EX-L: This trim brings the turbocharged 1.5-liter engine and adds blind-spot warning, making it a smart step up if you want more power and a better safety feature set without going all the way to the top.
• Sport Touring: This is the most fully equipped version, with the 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, navigation, Bose audio, and the most complete safety and convenience content. It is the right pick if you want the most polished Civic Hatchback experience and are willing to pay for it.

For safety-package shoppers, note that blind-spot warning is limited to the EX-L and Sport Touring, and rear cross-traffic warning is reserved for the Sport Touring.

• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.55% compared with last year.

What is the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback's resale value?

The current average of $23,497 sits slightly below last year's $24,361. That tells you the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more selectively now, but it also means future sellers may not see the same pricing strength they would have a year ago.

Even so, the Civic Hatchback’s broad appeal should help support demand over time. Its practical body style, strong safety reputation, and high owner satisfaction all work in its favor when it comes time to resell.

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 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback safe?

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Civic Hatchback earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating. It also earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is the standard driver-assistance suite, and it includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, Road Departure Mitigation, and Lane Keeping Assist. New standard features include low-speed following capability and Traffic Jam Assist, though both are available only with the CVT. Blind-spot warning is limited to the EX-L and Sport Touring, and rear cross-traffic warning is limited to the Sport Touring.

One caveat is that the driver aids are not always perfectly transparent in operation, and the lane-keeping systems can feel a little obvious at times. Even so, the overall safety package is a major strength for this model year.

Should I buy a 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback 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:

• 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.55% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesigned hatchback brings a more practical cargo area, standard advanced safety features, and the option of a manual transmission.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned hatchback with strong safety, good practicality, and a broad trim range, the 2022 is the primary year to target. If you are especially price-sensitive, you can still shop carefully within this year’s market and focus on the lower end of the price range, but the 2022 already gives you the core Civic Hatchback formula in a more modern package.
