What has carried over from last year is the powertrain options on the Honda Civic. The base models come with a standard 158-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, while the enhanced engine being a 180 horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged motor. Some consumers will be disappointed to find that the manual transmission sedan that has been previously offered has been scrapped for 2022; leaving a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) as the only offering. For gear changers, a six speed manual transmission is still available for the hatchback. The handling is receptive, responsive, and  balanced throughout the drive. 

According to the EPA, the most fuel efficient version of the new Civic is the mid-range EX, which earns ratings of L/100km City. 

A more unified interior design leads the 2022 Civic, with more thought and consideration given. Intricate lines and a dashboard featuring a full honeycomb-pattern design horizontal to hide the air vents. A wider windshield is given to minimize blind spots for a safer ride. A larger center console and cup holders that serves as convenient for any size cup, a deep bin in front of the shifter for smartphones. Heated front seats with rear seat heating options available.
