The Honda Civic has long been considered a sporty compact vehicle that provides the perfect blend of style and utility. It offers a peppy amount of horsepower, a highly efficient fuel economy, and a laundry list of amenities to drivers in Huntington Beach, Westminster, or Orange County, CA.
To help you find out if one of its three variations is right for you, the team at Norm Reeves Honda Superstore Huntington Beach did their civic duty and took a deep dive into areas that matter most to area drivers: design, performance, and technology.

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 upgrades that include the motorsports-inspired HPD™ Package, the Civic provides plenty of opportunities to express yourself.
One aspect of the Honda Civic that truly sets it apart are its three different body styles: Hatchback, Sedan, and Si (compact sports car). So, there’s certain to be one that speaks to you. Let’s look at each of their exterior design characteristics.

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).

Hatchback | 39.3/37.1 inches | 42.3/37.4 inches | 24.5 cubic feet |
Sedan | 39.3/37.1 inches | 42.3/37.4 inches | 14.8 cubic feet |
Si | 37.6/37.1 inches | 42.3/37.4 inches | 14.4 cubic feet |
While the Civic Hatchback and the Civic Sedan provide identical amounts of passenger room—and the Si is also similar—the Hatchback offers far more cargo space.
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 all three variants. The Civic Hatchback and the Civic Sedan share the same two engine options:
Meanwhile, the Civic Si comes equipped with a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine with turbocharger that generates even more oomph to the tune of 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque.
When it comes to moving that pure power to the wheels, the Hatchback and the Sedan once again are similar in their standard Continuously Variable Transmissions, while the Si features a 6-speed manual transmission. In all respects, the Honda Civic is finely tuned to deliver brisk acceleration and smooth handling.
The Si includes a standard 3-mode drive system (Normal/Sport/Individual), while a similar system that includes ECON/Normal/Sport modes is available for the Hatchback and Sedan models.
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 touchscreen: seven inches in the Hatchback and the Sedan (with a 9-inch screen available) and eight inches in the Si. Bluetooth® and SMS Text Message Functionality are also standard in all three variants.
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 Civic Si and are available in the Hatchback and Sedan.
When it comes to choosing a sleek and stylish vehicle, the Honda Civic and the Hyundai Elantra both show up and represent. Still, one model provides more options to fully represent you. With its additional body stylings and extra cargo room, the Honda Civic easily meets your needs while exceeding your expectations.

A big battle has long been waged by two compact vehicles: the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla. When it comes down to it, both models are small cars with big attitudes—but one has far more to offer, fully earning its right to swagger.
