    The Civic, a mainstay of Honda's lineup for decades, is a small sedan/hatchback/wagon with seating up to 5. The Civic provides superior EPA (miles per gallon) for its class, easing fuel costs and reducing pollution. Having more than average horsepower for its class, the Civic packs some oomph. Honda offers a 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, and a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    The 2022 Honda Civic is below average compared to all vehicles.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2022 Honda Civic has a score of 74, implying a 0.049% chance of driver death (4.4% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2022 Honda Civic has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0492% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 5.6221%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0492% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 5.6221% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2022 Honda Civic is 6% more likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons, the 2022 Honda Civic is 2% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Active safety features with Honda's Honda Sensing greatly enhance occupant safety by reducing the likelihood of a crash. The following active safety system is included even on lower trims/versions of the 2022 Honda Civic: Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). Some safety features are optional on the 2022 Honda Civic--- although they add to the cost, one should consider the benefits of Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM) with Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Blind Spot Information System.

    Another advanced safety feature --- while not cutting edge --- can still improve vehicle safety. Optional side mirror turn signals can help when you don't see a vehicle in your blind spot, by alerting them to your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other driver to avoid an accident with you.

    And it is less safe than many comparable cars.
