Honda is set to release an updated model of the Honda Civic. However, it is not worthy that Nigerians don’t really patronise sedan vehicles made by Honda and the ones who choose to patronise usually go for the Accord rather than the Civic. Regardless, we will still find Honda Civics on Nigerian roads. Hopefully, the 2023 Honda Civic will win the hearts of Nigerians.

The 2023 Honda Civic is the latest iteration of one of the best-selling vehicles on the road today. Available as both a sedan and hatchback, the 11th-generation Civic moves into its second year with at least one big change: the return of the hatchback-only Civic Type R. Honda has teased the new car for months now, though the automaker hasn’t released final specs for it.
2023 Honda Civic Exterior
Due to the fact that the 2022 Honda Civic is still new, we expect its exterior design to be carried over to the 2023 model. This means a smaller grille with a more prominent “H” emblem, a more rounded nose, a shallower-raked rear glass, bold taillights, and a clean and clutter-free backside. The hatchback model is nearly identical, but its one-piece hatch and unique taillights set it apart.
2023 Honda Civic Interior
The cabin has an attractive design. All controls are within easy reach and intuitive to use. It’s also roomy — the front can comfortably seat taller and shorter passengers equally well, and the rear seats will accommodate average-size adults with no problem. Rear legroom is abundant and headroom is adequate.
The Civic’s touchscreen infotainment system is located high on the dash to help you keep your eyes on the road. It has intuitive on-screen menus and responds quickly to your inputs.

The Touring trim had the larger 9-inch screen, while lower trims get a smaller 7-inch version. Most users will probably opt to use the standard Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone projection anyway. In the Touring trim, these systems can connect to your phone wirelessly. You can use a USB cable if you’d prefer.
2023 Honda Civic Trims
The Honda Civic is available as either a sedan or hatchback. There are five trim levels for the sedan: LX, Sport, EX, Touring and Si. The hatchback comes in similar LX, Sport, EX-L and Sport Touring trims. For 2023, the hatchback will also be available in the new high-performance Type R trim, though we’re still waiting on the final specs of that model.

2023 Honda Civic Prices

2023 Honda Civic Buying Guide
The Honda Civic may cost a bit more than the Kia Forte and Toyota Corolla, but it justifies the added cost with better performance, laudable fuel economy, and a nicer interior. It has the kind of refinement that we would have expected from the more expensive Honda Accord. We recommend you buy the EX trim since it comes with a more powerful and efficient turbocharged engine.
This 2023 Honda Civic car will compete with the Mazda3, Toyota Corolla, and Nissan Sentra.
2023 Honda Civic Safety Features
Safety features for the 2023 Honda Civic are forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios), adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the Civic and the vehicle in front), driver attention monitor (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued).
If you’ve got little kids, the Civic offers three top anchor spots for front-facing child safety seats, and the main lower anchor points are easy to access.
CONCLUSION
The upgrades made to this automobile are commendable, we’ll give it a 7.5/10 and we hope it steals the heart of the Nigerian market this time.
