How much does the 2022 Honda Civic cost?

Prices have softened 4.34% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,657 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Honda Civic a good car?

Yes — owners rate it 4.9/5, and the expert rating is 7.7/10. 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 review summary also points to advanced features and a generally polished everyday driving experience.

The main trade-offs are the base stereo and a few missing convenience features on some listings, including wireless Apple CarPlay. The overview frames this Civic as a compact car for buyers who want a refined, practical sedan with broad appeal rather than a bare-bones commuter.

With 33.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive offer.

Is the 2022 Honda Civic reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owners describe it as dependable, with a reputation for being trouble-free and easy to count on over time. The review summary also emphasizes its strong blend of technology, comfort, and driving performance, which tends to support confidence in long-term ownership.

The expert evaluation adds that the car’s demeanor is predictable and reassuring, which is exactly what many used buyers want from a daily driver. For a used purchase, the main long-term risk is less about the ownership experience and more about finding a well-kept example with the right equipment and condition.

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

At 66.5% 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 condition details that matter in daily use, including interior wear, electronics, and any signs of unresolved repair work.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: LX and Sport are the more basic trims, while EX and Touring add more upscale equipment and better tech. The base trims miss the blind-spot warning system, which is a meaningful gap if safety features matter to you.
• 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 lb-ft of torque. Both pair with a CVT, and the turbo engine is the stronger choice if you want more satisfying acceleration.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is standard and includes Traffic Jam Assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane-centering technology. EX adds blind-spot warning, and Touring adds rear cross-traffic alert; LX and Sport do not get blind-spot warning.
• Infotainment: The standard setup includes a 7-inch touchscreen, 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 expert test drive notes that the Civic Touring returned 30.4 mpg on a driving loop, while the turbocharged engine is described as delivering a satisfying blend of performance and efficiency.

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 version and misses the blind-spot warning system. It makes sense only if you want the lowest starting point and are comfortable giving up some convenience and safety equipment.
• Sport: This trim adds a bit more equipment and is a popular choice, but it still lacks blind-spot warning. It’s a reasonable middle ground if you want the Civic’s core strengths without stretching to the higher trims.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the turbocharged engine and the proper blind-spot warning system. If you want the strongest mix of performance, safety, and everyday usability, this is the one to target.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped version, with the larger 9-inch screen, wireless smartphone features, premium audio, navigation, and rear cross-traffic alert. It’s the right pick if you want the most upscale Civic experience and are willing to pay for it.

Honda’s safety content makes the EX the smarter choice for younger drivers because it finally adds blind-spot warning on both sides.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,657 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.34% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 66.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,740, 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 $21,740 sits slightly below last year's $22,725.

That softer pricing can help you as a buyer now, but it also suggests the market has already adjusted downward from a higher baseline. If you plan to sell later, the current price level gives you a realistic benchmark for what the car is worth today rather than what it may have fetched a year ago.

Even so, the Civic’s strong reputation and broad appeal should help it remain easy to move in the used market. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Honda Civic safe?

The 2022 Honda Civic earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is standard and includes Traffic Jam Assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane-centering technology. The system is also described as smoother and more refined than before, and the car adds a proper blind-spot warning system on EX and rear cross-traffic alert on Touring.

The main safety caveat is that LX and Sport do not get blind-spot warning, which is a notable omission for trims many buyers may choose. If safety tech is a priority, the EX is the trim to focus on.

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:

• 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 66.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.34% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Honda nailed the redesign, engineering, and technology with few exceptions.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $18,904, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $21,740 average.
• It remains a noteworthy choice for buyers who want a compact car with personality.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned Civic with stronger tech, better refinement, and a more modern feel, the 2022 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is saving money and you’re comfortable with the older generation’s character, the 2021 can still make sense.
