The Honda Civic can be described with a variety of adjectives: fun, sleek, athletic. . . As such, it appeals to a wide range of drivers. Regardless, it’s stylish in every sense of the word. From its standard exterior elements to a variety of upgrades and packages, the Civic provides plenty of opportunities to express yourself.
One aspect of the Honda Civic that truly sets it apart is its two different body styles: Sedan and Hatchback. So, there’s certain to be one that speaks to you. Let’s look at each of their exterior design characteristics.

The LX is the only trim that’s solely provided as a Sedan. The Sport, Sport Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid trims are available as either a Sedan or a Hatchback. Still, no matter which version you choose, you’ll make a visual statement that’s loud and proud.
Since you’ll be seated inside your Honda Civic, you’ll want to be sure the cabin offers the comfort and amenities you require. Honda has designed an ergonomic and driver-centric cockpit with easily accessible controls. A nearly panoramic windshield offers wide sightlines and ensures visibility. Among the many available options are heated, 8-way adjustable front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control.
Ensuring comfort also requires having adequate wiggle room for everyone on board—as well as plenty of space to stow whatever gear you bring along (or pick up along the way).

Although the Honda Civic is considered a “compact” vehicle, it doesn’t skimp when it comes to power. Taking a peek under the hood will prove that the Civic can keep up with your active lifestyle as well as some of the “big dogs” out on the road.
You’ll enjoy impressive power generation from both the Civic Sedan and the Civic Hatchback, which share the same two engine options:
For the latest model year, Honda introduces the new Civic Hybrid, the most powerful Civic other than the Civic Type R sports car.
When it comes to moving that pure power to the wheels, the Sedan and the Hatchback once again are similar in their standard Continuously Variable Transmissions. In all respects, the Honda Civic is finely tuned to deliver brisk acceleration and smooth handling.
In all its variations, the Honda Civic includes a drive system that allows you to change modes based on conditions or your mood. Depending on trim level, you’ll be able to choose from among these modes:
Today’s drivers demand that vehicles come equipped with a variety of tech features. Some of these systems enable you to stay connected and entertained, while others are designed to help keep you safe on the road. The Honda Civic offers both in spades.
Connect your smartphone through standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to access your apps, maps, audio, and more through the central 7-inch touchscreen (nine inches in the Sport Touring Hybrid). Bluetooth® and SMS Text Message Functionality are also standard in all variations.
You’ll enjoy listening to your favorite playlists or podcasts clearly thanks to standard Speed-Sensitive Volume Compensation. For an even more immersive auditory experience, choose the available 12-speaker Bose Premium Sound System.
Of course, no technologies are more important than those that help protect you and your crew. Honda takes your safety nearly as seriously as you do, which is why they standardly equip every Civic with the Honda Sensing® suite of driver-assistive features.
In all iterations, among these many systems are:
Additionally, Blind Spot Information System and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor come standard in the Sport Touring Hybrid trim and are available in all others.
