Used Honda Civic for Sale nearNorfolk, VA

How much does the Honda Civic cost in today's market?

Used Honda Civic prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Honda Civic's current nationwide average price is $19,086, and its year-round low is $17,565.60. That puts the model's pricing squarely in a familiar used-car range for shoppers comparing different Civic generations and trims.

• Sport Touring Hybrid: This trim adds larger 10.2-inch instrumentation and 9-inch infotainment displays, Google built-in, Alexa built-in, a Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless smartphone charging, and front and rear parking sensors with low-speed automatic braking.

• Tech: The Civic’s standard 7-inch digital instrumentation panel and 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system are models of simplicity, and the Civic Si or Sport Touring Hybrid have larger 10.2-inch instrumentation and 9-inch infotainment displays, Google built-in, Alexa built-in, access to a Wi-Fi hotspot, and wireless smartphone charging.
