The 2022 Honda Civic is best in its class. Honda HondaPhil HondaCivic CarGuidePH
The Civic is one vehicle Honda can’t get wrong. While some generations are better than others, they’ve always managed to push the compact car envelope in one way or another. That trend continues in the 2022 model. Throughout its history, it has generally followed a pattern of revolutionary redesign followed by more cautious evolution. As the all-new, eleventh-generation model, the 2022 Civic falls into the evolution category.
That said, despite the Civic’s impressive cabin execution, it can’t seem to escape its economy car origins. The V Turbo, like the S Turbo suffers from the prevalence of hard plastics, especially on the doors. Moreover, Honda misses the mark by not applying even an ounce of leather even for this mid-grade model. The steering wheel is covered in plastic, while the fabric used on the seats and door trim feel thin and easily wearing. Even the City RS feels better in those respects.
In terms of dimensions, the 2022 Civic sticks close to its predecessor. With that, it continues to be the roomiest compact car in the market. In fact, it doesn’t feel like a C-segment sedan anymore with the sheer amount of shoulder and legroom at play. If there’s one issue, it’s that the rear headroom could use some improvement. There are lots of usable cubby holes too, and while the old multi-level bin with its sliding cupholders and tray is gone, it’s missed.
Punchy as the engine is, the sound it makes isn’t something that’ll quicken the pulse. Thankfully, it isn’t too droney thanks to, surprise, the gearbox. Previously, the gearbox was the Achilles’ Heel, but not anymore. It’s smooth in the urban confines, but thanks to a built-in shift logic, surprisingly responsive when flogged. Believe it or not, you’re not missing the paddle shifters or the Sport mode. And after a week’s worth of driving, it returns an impressive 10.63 km/L on 91 RON unleaded.
