    The Civic, a mainstay of Honda's lineup for decades, is a small sedan/hatchback/wagon with seating up to 5. The Honda Civic has some real zest, surpassing typical horsepower for its class. Having better than average EPA (miles per gallon) for its class, it reduces fuel costs and pollution. Honda offers a 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, and a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    The 2023 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 2023 Honda Civic has a score of 75, implying a 0.048% chance of driver death (4.3% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2023 Honda Civic has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0485% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 5.5376%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0485% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 5.5376% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2023 Honda Civic is 4% more likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons, the 2023 Honda Civic is 4% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Honda's Honda Sensing active safety features can protect loved ones by preventing accidents and reducing accident severity. The following active safety system is included even on lower trims/versions of the 2023 Honda Civic: Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). Some safety features are optional on the 2023 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 vehicle feature may make a vehicle safer, even if not at the forefront of technological advances. Optional side mirror turn signals alert others of your intention to turn or switch lanes allowing them to react accordingly, which can prevent accidents caused by not seeing a vehicle in the blind spot.

    And it is about as safe as many comparable models.
