Should I buy a used Honda Civic now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2026 model is at −0.29% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −3.32%.
• Deal availability: The 2026 model has 32.6% good and great deals, and the 2025 model has 32.9%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $24,927. The Honda Civic offers a roomy cabin, practical packaging, and a balanced driving character that make it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Five Civic sedans are available. In ascending order of price the core models are LX, Sport, Sport Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid. Civic LX and Civic Sport models have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine supplying a merely adequate 150 horsepower and 133 lb-ft of torque. It employs a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with paddle shifters to power the front wheels, and drivers can choose from Normal, Sport, and Econ driving modes. The Hybrids use Honda’s excellent Two Motor Hybrid powertrain, offering remarkable power and impressive efficiency.
• Tech: The Civic’s standard 7-inch digital instrumentation panel and 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system are models of simplicity. You can get a taste of that by choosing the Civic Si or Sport Touring Hybrid, which have larger 10.2-inch instrumentation and 9-inch infotainment displays, Google built-in, Alexa built-in, access to a Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless smartphone charging, and more.
• Safety: Honda equips every 2026 Civic with its Honda Sensing collection of advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS). The package includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and lane-centering assist. Adaptive cruise control is also standard, and at lower speeds, the Civic features Traffic Jam Assist, which basically means the lane-centering assist works at low speeds.
• Starting price: For the 2026 model year, prices range from $25,790 to $34,690 with the $1,195 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
