2023 Honda Civic

The Civic is Honda's entry-level sedan, and for many years, it's been known as one of the best buys in the budget compact category. In 2023, that's unlikely to change. The Civic is available in six trims: Sport sedan, Sport hatchback, EX sedan, EX-L hatchback, Touring sedan, and Sport Touring hatchback. There are several four-cylinder engines to choose from and two transmissions to build your desired car.

Civic fans can choose between two engines for the 2023 year. You can have a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The transmissions mated with both engines are four-wheel drive. If you love keeping control yourself, you'll want to take a look at the hatchback version, which in some configurations offers a six-speed manual transmission. Otherwise, you can expect a continuously variable automatic transmission.

The Civic engines offer two basic levels of power output for your travels. The 2.0-liter engine provides 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. In contrast, the 1.5-liter version of the engine delivers 180 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque.

For a compact, the Civic offers a generous amount of front legroom at 42.3 inches. The rear legroom is 37 inches. Civics have push-button start and automatic climate control to allow everyone in the car to set the heat or air conditioning to their liking.

The Civic also offers a standard 7-inch infotainment screen. If you want a larger screen, you can upgrade to a 9-inch diagonal version. Link your mobile phone and enjoy the best features of your favorite apps through the Bose sound system using the Apple CarPlay or Android Auto applications. This will allow you to access your favorite playlists, streaming radio stations, or podcasts on the go.

For convenience, the 2023 Civic offers a wireless smartphone charging pad and in-dash navigation. You can upgrade to a 10.2-inch digital gauge display to keep watch on your car's instruments.

In addition to the standard driver, front passenger, and curtain airbags, the Honda Civic also comes with several advanced safety features. These include technology such as multi-view rear digital cameras for maximum situational awareness. Automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection and adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping assist also come with the Civic. Adaptive cruise control leverages sensors and radar to monitor the driving environment around the car, making adjustments automatically if it detects slower vehicles in the vicinity. The safety features on the Civic will give you peace of mind when driving.
