• Sport Hybrid: The hybrid choice in the core sedan lineup, bringing Honda’s two-motor hybrid powertrain for stronger efficiency and more power.
• Sport Touring Hybrid: The most feature-rich core sedan trim, adding larger displays, Google built-in, a Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless smartphone charging, and premium convenience features.

What Honda Civic do most buyers choose?

The Honda Civic years with the most listings are 2023, 2021, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they sit in a sweet spot between newer features and more accessible pricing. They also give you more choice in body style, trim, and equipment, which makes it easier to find a Civic that fits your budget and priorities.

What is the Honda Civic's resale value?

Most Civic model years are down year over year, and several recent ones have seen double-digit declines. That creates better opportunities for used buyers, especially if you are shopping newer examples that have softened from their prior-year prices. A few years have fallen more gently, which suggests some versions are retaining value better than others.

The 2015, 2026, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
