2023 Honda Civic - Exclusive Ashburn New Car Discounts

The 2023 Honda Civic gains the Type R trim that raises the bar for front-wheel drive performance and drops the base LX trim.

The Civic is available in several flavors. The sedan is offered in four trims: Sport, EX, Touring, and Si with base prices ranging from $25,745 to $30,745. The hatchback can be had in four trims as well: Sport, EX-L, Sport Touring, and Type R, and pricing ranges from $26,545 to $43,990.

The Civic LX base model was discontinued.

The standard 2023 Honda Civic still rocks a naturally aspirated four-cylinder while the higher trims feature a turbocharged four. The Si features a high-output version of the same displacement while the Type R is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with very impressive power figures.

The Si is the only way to get the sedan with a stick shift while the hatchback offers one in the Sport, Touring, and Type R trims for no additional cost. The Si and Type R go one step further and are exclusively equipped with the six-speed manual and each features unique gearing and a limited-slip front differential.

All trims route power to the front wheels.

The 2023 Civic is available as a sedan that is 184 inches long or a hatchback that is about four inches shorter. Both are 71 inches wide and offer the same 37.4 inches of rear legroom but the hatchback’s arched roofline enables a larger 24.5 cubic foot cargo space versus the 14.8 cubic feet provided by the sedan.

The Si is offered only as a sedan and the Type R is only available as a hatchback. Its sharper focus on track performance brings a four-inch wider track.

All CVT-equipped 2023 Honda Civics are equipped with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, and automatic high beams. The EX and EX-L trims add blind spot detection and the Touring trims also feature cross-traffic monitoring and parking sensors in the front and rear with automatic braking.

The Si and Type R impressively maintain adaptive cruise control (and blind-spot detection) despite their manual transmissions - seen as an excuse by other manufacturers to drop those features.

The Civic earns five stars from NHTSA and is a 2022 IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Its LED headlights score Good ratings and the emergency braking system earns Superior ratings for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian (day) tests.

The Sport trim features a seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, and an eight-speaker 180-watt stereo. The Touring trim incorporates a nine-inch touchscreen, wireless CarPlay and Auto, SiriusXM, HD radio, navigation, additional USB ports for the rear passengers, a wireless phone charger, and an impressive 12-speaker Bose sound system.. The Si and Type R match the Touring trim’s level of equipment.

The Sport trims feature 18-inch black alloy wheels, LED tail lights, body-color door handles, gloss black power mirrors, a chrome exhaust finisher, a capless fuel filler, and proximity entry with walk away auto lock. Inside, cloth seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, a seven-inch digital gauge cluster, automatic climate control, one-touch up/ down front windows, push-button start, and sport pedals are among its notable list of features.

The hatchback starts at $26,545.

The EX sedan is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, heated body-color mirrors, heated seats, dual-zone climate control, a rear seat armrest, and a split folding rear seat.

The EX-L trim adds dual-zone climate control and heated power leather seats.

The Touring trim receives 18-inch wheels with gray painted inserts, mirrors with integrated turn signals, LED fog lights, leather seats, an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat and four-way power passenger’s seat, a full 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster, and an automatically dimming rearview mirror.

The hatchback’s Sport Touring trim adds dual exhaust finishers and paddle shifters.

The Si adds a healthy dose of performance mechanicals and features with its 18-inch gloss black wheels, a gloss-black trunk spoiler, dual chrome exhaust finishers, sport cloth seats, unique gauges, and red stitching throughout the interior.

The track-focused Type R is new for 2023 and receives numerous exterior features that make it immediately recognizable such as unique front and rear fascias that allow for additional cooling and downforce, a large rear wing, side sill extensions, an active exhaust system with triple centrally mounted exhaust outlets.

19-inch black wheels with summer performance rubber, an aluminum hood with a heat extractor, unique body panels, and red exterior H-mark badges. Those items add to the upgrades beneath the skin that include a revised suspension design with adaptive dampers, larger brakes with Brembo four-piston calipers, and strengthened chassis.

Inside, the seats gain prominent side bolsters, a driver performance log, red suede-like seat coverings, red carpet, and red ambient lighting.
