DESIGN

The revamped Honda Civic for 2022 has a new, higher-quality interior and leaner, less overly detailed appearance. The sedan now has a a more boxed-off rear end and lower front end. It’s only grown 1.4 inches in length, yet from afar, it seems like a mid-size automobile. The hatchback is 4.9 inches shorter than the sedan, with most of its differences occurring in the rear side of Civic.

INTERIOR

The best-of-the-best The Touring model has ventilation controls that operate crisply like those on a high-end espresso machine, making it seem far more costly than the $30,265 price tag suggests.

The dials direct airflow via dashboard vents, which vanish into a hexagon honeycomb strip that runs the length of the interior.

Their directional joysticks click with a pleasing ‘click,’ as if they were superbly built small manual transmissions from a German toymaker.

INFOTAINMENT

Touring and Sport Touring versions include a 9.0-inch touchscreen, as well as a 10.2-inch digital gauge display. Metal accents on several of the controls and a fingerprint-resistant substance on the central console distinguish the lower trim levels. The top and bottom halves are separated by a smooth, uninterrupted mesh screen that conceals the vents.

PERFORMANCE

The Civic Touring, weighing 3,077 pounds, represents the other, more enjoyable end of the performance range. Its 1.5-liter turbo-4 produces 180 horsepower, an increase of 6 horsepower, and 15 pound-feet of torque over the 2021 model. It has a similar feel to last year’s turbo version, but with more confidence power levels.

SPACE
