Our recommendation is the well-equipped EX sedan, which comes with plenty of extra features that easily justify the price hike. Those goodies include blind spot monitoring, a power sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated outside mirrors and heated front seats. It also comes standard with a more powerful 180 hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine. If you’re buying a hatchback, we’d steer you to the EX-L, which offers similar equipment and adds leather upholstery.

Engine, Transmission and Performance

Although the Civic has been redesigned for 2022, the powertrain options are carried over from the previous generation car. The base model comes standard with a 158-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while the engine upgrades continue to a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that now produces 180 horsepower. The new Civic is offered exclusively as a front-wheel drive car. Unfortunately, the manual transmission offered on the previous-generation Civic sedan has been cut for 2022, leaving the CVT as the sole offering. A six-speed manual is still available on hatchback models, though. On our test track, our turbocharged Touring sedan required 7.5 seconds to reach 60 mph, which is slower than the last generation Civic results. Manual The Sport Touring hatchback we tested does slightly better at 7.3 seconds to 60 mph. Fortunately, the nimble handling, communicative ride and balanced ride that we appreciated so much in the last generation model are present and accounted for here. The sporty one and seriously do sports High-performance Type-R variants are again part of a family and are reviewed separately.
