What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Honda Civic?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The sedan comes in LX, EX, Sport, and Touring trims. The base setup is more basic, while the Touring adds the most upscale cabin and technology, and the EX is the first trim to add LaneWatch.
• Powertrain: LX, EX, and Sport use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with a CVT, while Touring gets a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder with more power and stronger torque.
• Safety package: Every Civic gets Honda Sensing, which includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, road departure mitigation, lane keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and a multi-angle rearview camera. LaneWatch starts on the EX, but there is no traditional blind-spot warning system or rear cross-traffic warning.
• Infotainment: Standard equipment includes a 5-inch LCD screen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, text messaging support, and HondaLink connected services. Touring upgrades you to a 7-inch high-definition touchscreen, navigation, HD Radio, SiriusXM, and a 10-speaker audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert test drive data records 6.8 L/100 km on a driving loop, versus a Natural Resources Canada estimate of 7.1 L/100 km combined.

Which 2021 Honda Civic trim should I buy?

The 2021 Honda Civic is offered in 4 trim levels: LX, EX, Sport, and Touring.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Civic’s core strengths without the extra cost of higher trims. It suits you if you want the most affordable path into the model and are comfortable with the simpler equipment list.
• EX: This is the trim to watch if you want the best balance of features and value. It adds LaneWatch, which gives you extra help when checking the right side, and it’s a sensible step up if you want more convenience without going all the way to Touring.
• Sport: Choose this if you want a slightly more style-focused version while staying away from the top-end price. It keeps the Civic’s everyday usability intact and adds a more distinctive feel.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped version, with the turbocharged 1.5-litre engine, the 7-inch touchscreen, navigation, and the upgraded audio system. It’s the right pick if you want the most complete Civic experience and don’t mind paying more for it.

Honda Sensing is standard across the lineup, while LaneWatch is available starting with the EX trim.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Honda Civic?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some confidence if you’re patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 28.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 902 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.41% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $21,373 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Honda Civic's resale value?

The current average of $21,374 CAD sits slightly below last year's $23,085 CAD.

That softer pricing can work in your favour if you buy now, but it also means future sellers may need to be realistic about expectations. If the market stays near this level, depreciation should remain manageable rather than dramatic. The Civic’s strong owner satisfaction and broad appeal should continue to support demand when it’s time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Honda Civic safe?

The 2021 Honda Civic earns a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and five-star ratings in every single assessment from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim and includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, road departure mitigation, lane keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and a multi-angle rearview camera. LaneWatch is available starting with the EX trim, but there is no traditional blind-spot warning system or rear cross-traffic warning system.

One caveat is that the IIHS Top Safety Pick rating only applies to Touring trim, since that version has the top-rated LED headlights.

Should I buy a 2021 Honda Civic or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 28.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.41% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It’s the last year of the 10th-generation Civic, with three body styles and the Type R performance variant in the North American market.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $20,024 CAD, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $21,374 CAD average.
• It adds minor design tweaks and more standard safety and convenience features.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $23,686 CAD, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $21,374 CAD average.
• It brings a full redesign with fresh engineering and technology.

The bottom line: If you want the outgoing Civic’s proven formula, the 2021 is the right primary choice. If price matters most, the 2020 is the better value play; if you want the newest design and technology, move up to the 2022.
