I like this Civic, the exterior design isn't trying to hard and the interior is perfect, never thought I would be happy to see buttons in a car!!
It’s not trying to hard until they got to the Type R then they got the crack pipe out….🤣🤣🤣
Stick to your GTI
I wish the new Acura Integra comes with push button shifter like the rest of Acura lineup.
Civic is the car for someone who don’t want nonsense, turn on the engine and go to work.
Nothing fancy and no gimmicks
That was true until they made it a hybrid.
@@s4nder86Its not plug in though is it? So just the same to own as a regular car
yeah but cars like the new Peugeot 308, Opel Astra and even the VW Golf all offer more interesting alternatives.
@@kristians2704 a golf more interesting? Like the golf is literally the most boring car available. With every new model looking barely different from the last. And IMO there hasn't been any ugly generation Civic and they look very different from each other.
@@livelyosprey Not quite. The added complexity and degrading battery still makes it more of a hassle.
Had three Civics. Couldn't fault them. Great cars. Good to drive, superbly reliable and practical. This new generation version looks impressive.
The new car and engine were designed in Japan. Many recent Hondas were designed in the US. The Japanese fixed everything wrong in 10th gen but its priced out if my budget for sure. The sound in the turbo 1.5 is really perfect which surprised me.
It’s hard to believe this is the same channel from 10 years ago well done autotrader for great editing and choosing a great presenter. It’s a genuinely challenger to CarWow finally
I really enjoy your content! You’re doing such a thorough job with these reviews! 😄
Might consider one of these, had a rocket ship door handle civic back in 2007 which was great!
Also really good point from Rory on not being able to decide if he likes the looks, Civics (all of them) do genuinely just grow on you, there is never that wow factor when looking at one for the first time but after a while, it’s the details that stick out and you end up really liking them!
Rory you are the KING! I was waiting for the EU version of Civic since it was released in the USA and you are the first reviewer who reviewed it! That says a lot about you and your work! Keep going mate! I was a bit cautious on what we in EU can expect from Honda after I have seen countless reviews of US version car but based on what you have shown Honda blow me away with this EU Civic. They improved so much from the US version and the US version was already a fantastic looking car with great features. But there were some small things I was missing, ventilators for the back passengers checked, panorama roof checked! I never been so excited about some car like I’m now. I just hope that the powertrain and engine will not disappoint. I pray Honda did find and gave the Civic some punch compared to other electrified vehicles like Jazz, CR-V not just on the paper but in the real ride. The Micheline tires are giving some hope that this powertrain will be fun to drive, let's wait and see. Bring us drive review Rory as soon as possible and keep up the good work! God bless and stay safe!
Rory, your one of my favorite Reviewers...
Very informative and natural
Can't go wrong with a Civic absolutely superb everyday transport 👊
Honda fan ( I've had a CRZ for 7 years ) Brilliant to drive , economical hybrid and different to look at. New civics a bit bland but will be utterly reliable . Glad they have sorted the 1980's Infotainment system in the current civic , I borrowed one and couldn't believe it was only 6 months old at the time.
This car is so well thought and engineered. One of the best civic to come out! the interior materials are soo premium, test drove one. It was such a composed car. Felt less peppy compared to 10th generation. But most likely because of a much silent cabin and bigger body!
I wish companies would use brushed metal look or woodgrain for interiors instead of gloss black. Ny legacy has plastic that is a brushed "metal" look and it is super easy to keep clean and looking nice. Reviewers always slam gloss black and never suggest an alternative so companies keep doing it.
Really love the front end Andy those rims. Looks dope for a simple civic.
I’ve owned most of the recent civic hatchbacks and love my 10th generation suffice the over fussy looks. The 11th addresses much of these criticisms but retains the good bits under the skin plus a power train. Hope to get more details on the hybrid power train and the rumoured Type R less fussy comic design
I really like what Honda have done here. To me, this is dimensions better than the last Civic in terms of both exterior and interior design, it seems really well-thought-through and purposeful this generation. I also like that they've favoured efficiency with this one, cool to see an Atkinson cycle engine up front here.
the Europeans are fond of this car because it has European proportions, rather than the bubbly Japanese proportions that the last gen civic had
Thank you Bro, Finally you reviewing something that I can buy!!
Great review Rory, keep ‘em coming. If the saloon was offered in the U.K., you’d have more rear seat headroom. The sunroof isn’t helping with either front or rear seat head room.
Thank you for showing off our setup 😁 InsaniTV Visuals had so much fun bringing our tv setup to this event and working with the people from CThree and Meadow Farms Studio in Henley-on-Thames.
I have a 2022 Sport Touring w. manual (living State side) and it is brillant! Hope they export that to Europe the manual makes this car 100% more enjoyable/fun.
Top notch presentation as always
As a car guy I dont always agree with a sports car brand like honda taking the sensible car route, but given the times (with soaring gas prices lurking around) electrification might just be what we need so it can trickle down to more interesting models
I wouldn’t call them a sports car brand, most of their models are just average. Their motorbikes however is a different story
An excellent car for sure. I've had 2 Civics over the years and they are very reliable and have great MPG. All passengers should be hybrids or full EV. The hybrid technology has been around for over 100 years (if you really want to get technical about it) but the last 20 years has seen huge technological advances in Hybrid tech. I drive a 6 year old luxury hybrid that gets 27 in the city and 36 on the highway - and it weighs over 4000 lbs. With todays technology, we should be driving Hybrids that get 50 mpg in the city and 75 on the highway - and Not give up luxury and HP.
I have the 2022 Insight Hybrid gets around 50mpg. If I'm driving city in warm weather I'll get 60 mpg. Excellent vehicle
I still prefer driving a diesel to a hybrid tho, and this cvt gearbox is nasty
GFY, I don't want modern cars.
@@coolboy5428 Sooner or later, you won't have a choice, if you want or need to continue driving. In 10 years, all passenger vehicles will be EV or Hybrid, and a gallon of gas will be $15 to $20. It will cost you $400 to fill your tank.
wow, my 2021 Civic Si gets better MPG then your Hybrid.
and it's a blast to drive.
Make you so much for explaining the Honda Civic I really enjoyed that I just might get one now thanks 😁
This looks like my favourite civic Honda has ever made. I might buy this as my next car in future. SUVs... Blurrrr!
biy ot
Great presentation by Rory as ever, but now I’ll be waiting for the full electric one.
Unfortunately It’ll be waaayyy to heavy and it will not handle like a civic
I agree. Excellent job on this one Rory
@@johndownes3528 Civic came a long way in last few years and currently it’s more of a size of old Accords
e-VTEC wooo
To me this 2l hybrid powertrain is absolute winner! No need for fully electric civic at all. Well Done Honda👏👏👏 I can see how the competition is shivering of fear for success of this mk11 HONDA CIVIC
Always great video car content 👌 what would the range be for driving 🚗 👌
Good review!!!!! I’m a big fan of Honda, I’m looking at the hatchback sport touring , or the Si really like them both .
I've got the hybrid CRV atm, can't wait for the newer version of it to match the tech on this civic
I love the looks of the new Civic and to a similar extent the accord. Much classier. As someone who drives an '18 E-class coupe - that's saying something! Hopefully they don't ruin the appearance of the Type R with the "gamer laptop" aesthetic like they did last gen.
if you have an E-class coupe, congrats! such a beatiful car.
Exactly what I was thinking.. but it looks like they finally got an adult to design it lol.. this one looks similar to an Audi
@@GAMER_PUNK247 I definitely see some Audi. I hate the piano black plastic, but the Honda doesn't seem as bad as the Audi in that regard. I would be happy with design that isn't so haphazard and "overstyled" but it genuinely looks upscale. The only other downside is the shifter. I think everyone should use MB's style column shifters and door-mounted seat controls. Too bad Acura hasn't followed their lead. The new Acruas are offensive - wasted potential in my opinion.
@@tool8337 While you talking about the shifter, I just want to mention about the manual gearbox(which is available on the sport and sport touring trim levels).I've watched many test about this car and manual gearbox is mechanically perfect.Sensible,spontaneous and easy to use. I'm not sure but this can be the last generation civic that has manual gearbox. That means this is precious car for manuel lovers.I would definitely buy one,it's been 50 years since first civic came out and yeah,this is one of the best gens.
@@tfboosty good point! Thought the market doesn’t favor manual shift anymore and its still not an excuse why the auto gear selector is so bad. Its even more of a reason they should have known better.
I like it
Great video mate
I bought myself a golf MK7 Kombi 2.0 tdi .. i love it but i allways loved the Civic more, but in my country there aren't many mechanics or dealerships that deal or repairs Honda, and LOGIC won over HEART !
I hade it for the weekend and drive it for 2000km and it is extremely well billed great to drive efficient. I think about second job just so i can get it sooner, probably best daily car you can have, if we exclude cars that cost way way more.
Great presentor. Rory is great !
Looking good, im sure the Type R will be a nice looking car now!
Thanks for the well explained review 🤗
I have a 2019 Honda Accord sport. I love it.
Yes, I'm also a fan of that Jail track by Mr West
Excellent car!!!
And also an excellent narrator with a beautiful accent
Wish they followed the Honda e's design language for entire range
Dear Rory totally unrelated to this awesome video but how long do you think the average build time is for a new Mercedes E63S or E53 in this environment .. you are the best keep the content coming it is awesome 😎
Rory talks about all the spoilers and vents on the previous CIvic. One would assume he means the Type R. We haven't seen the new Type R yet though, and should maybe assume there'd be some crazy ventage and spoilers there as well.
Even the lower specs had loads of fake vents etc
The sedan, hatchback, and SI have all been on sale in North America for a while, however not with the hybrid powertrain.
Loved it !
The two parcel shelves (retractable and one attached to the actual bootlid) are exactly the same as I had in my 10th gen civic.
Nice- very curious to see the full electric version!
I had a black 1998 manual Civic hatch in 2000 that I heavily modified. Fast and Furious style. Big ass exhaust, stereo, body kit, Falken tyres and matte bronze rims. God, I loved it!
Would've loved a 2002 Type R, but they were import only in Australia and very expensive.
Come on man it's such a beautiful looking car especially in that exact colour and wheels and I also love the fact that it's a hybrid
With this clearner look I might just buy one!
As an owner of the 10th gen Civic, I felt everyone of those shots fired lol. I actually really like the look of this, they've done an awesome job and sounds like the EV department is going to have some unique features from Honda, drove a Tesla for the first time last night and was blown away and I'm STILL impressed with this! Tempting.
Type R is nuts Rory, you should get one of each :)
Loving the look of this. Understated, classy looking even, inside and out.
Classy ? Absolutely not.
The civic Will always be the people's champion the car that can do a bit of everything really well and the civic type r will be amazing. Like the previous generations well built reliable and fun designed by clever engineers.
the interior is really fresh!
Looks good, the specs in the Uk model seem higher than the US spec. I’ve had a 9th gen for the last 16 months, a 1.6 diesel and I’ve been super impressed with the performance/ economy (my first diesel, apart from a disastrous A3) it’s so solid and roomy and looks very sporty. Not a great fan of the 10th gen, I can see me getting this 11th gen in the future, if funds will allow. My car has gone up £2000 in the time I’ve had it and for me it’s been better than the Golf equivalent I had at work, I’ll be keen to take this for a test run in the next wee while. Good review, look forward to seeing this around, soon.
We have 2 10th Gen Civic hatchbacks one is manual 6-speed and the other CVT. The build quality is pretty good, and the interior especially feels spacious with lots of room in front seats and comfortable seats as well overall. The car also has a low sitting position (10mm lower to the ground than the mk9 gen) and its larger in size. The CVT is smooth and better than other cvts found in general, and my mum can drive it as well. But I personally like the manual short throw gearbox, it feels nice and sporty especially the sitting posture and wonderful handling the car has, the car can also fully turn (steering) in one circle of the steering wheel instead of 2 times doing it like most cars which makes it very manuverable in mini roundabouts and parking etc. The best thing is it has a lot of kit as standard which is normally found in high trim levels to its competitors like the Golf, the adaptive cruise control is very helpful in traffic as it slows down on its own and speeds up assessing the vehicle in the front, instead of manually adjusting the cruise speed up and down in motorways like in normal cruise. Lane assistance, auto brake-hold, auto full beam blip when its too dark, apple car play and android auto + reads the speed limits and signs on the road and the driver's display is clear + all digital. Only thing is the infotainment system isn't the best but you can just use android auto or connect by bluetooth etc. and its fine. I think the car is excellent value for money and the looks grow on you the more you keep it, the engine is also punchy and good to drive. The 1L Vtec Turbo is so well refined, it provides the same power as a 1.8 found in worldwide models. Its one of the the best 1L engines providing 130bhp which is amazing considering a 1L size (honda says they really tried to make it as efficient as possible) I think the car is excellent value for money and you may quite like it after you test drive one, but the new one also looks great and promising with the mileage as its hybrid :) but the mk10 is a great civic honestly speaking. It really does what you need it to do and the back claw rear lights look great glowing in the night ✅🔥
e golf nesy drßo0ñ
Great review, lovely car.
Sad though that we in Europe only get the hybrids and none of the fun model variants like the SI.
Same shit with the mazda 3, the AWD 2.5 turbo is not sold here...
I think my 2018 civic looks a bit sportier but I really love that they've finally electrified the civic!
yeah my 2017 civic 6-speed manual is so good to drive and it being lower to the ground by 10mm than previous gen, it feels really good handling wise. Love the car in the red ❤️🔥
The rear claw shaped lights glowing in the night look nice :)
I agree with several of these comments, having owned 4 Civics. But Rory, you skipped past the spare tyre - is there one, and is it a full tyre or a space saver? What are the specs, as my garage width may be a problem?
Having spent a lot of seat time in the new US model hatch, there's quite a few key differences between it and the EU spec. I'm mostly left wishing the US spec had the adaptive beam headlamps and heated steering wheel options.
Hi..in Canada you can find it with heated steering wheel
I suspect the adaptive beam headlights will be soon seeing the legislation allowing them is still very recent for most automakers to adopt.
The US spec Civics actually went up about 10,000 in price on account of lots more tech in them like the drivers aids. Also it was designed in Japan. So overall I think it went too far with tech and gyzmos
The price is expected to start at £25K, which might seem ridiculous, but this is not comparable to the Civic from 15 years ago, it's comparable to the Accord from 15 years ago, and it's far more efficient to boot. Also that starting price includes an automatic gearbox.
Don't like the stick-up infotainment screens on any car. Why not locate the climate controls a bit lower and integrate the screen into the dash like the 86 twins do?
Nice hope to see doing a test drive
I like this Civic, looks classy! Let’s hope they make the Type R look bonkers like the last one (it’s part of its charm!)
I actually liked the mk10 Type R especially in black it looked cool and mean, I remember seeing one in black in the rain parked night time in their driveway in our neighborhood, it looked menacing. lets hope this type R will be a cool looking sportscar too 🔥
I'm tryin to get/but a used Civic White but the prices are sooo high. What do I do🤷🏽♀️
I would like to ask if there is a problem with the fact that it is very low and when it is loaded it rests on the road (on something uphill) thanks
With every evolution, Civics always get better functionally but not always aesthetically. This model however, is the best looking one yet.
all Civics have looked good but 10th gen Civics were polarizing buyers too much and the road noise was horrible. For some reason the taillights on the 10th gen coupe were perfect but on hatch were crappy while the 11th gen has flipped it so hatch is great and the sedan is just ok. Honda seems intent on changing buying behaviors.
looking forward to seeing the type R
I wish Honda released an updated Accord for the UK. Or even a Legend.
Yes, me too. I had the 2007 year Euro Accord, incredible build quality!
@@itsallrobbish I had the 1999 Accord Type R for 9 years Amazing. Really wish I didn't sell it for £500!
Wish we could get the accord, proper smart car that
8:49 cleaning that honeycomb pattern is gonna be a pain
The hybrid powertrain seems to have exactly the same specs as the 184hp from Toyota (Corolla among others)... Does anyone know if it is indeed a Toyota engine that they agreed to share (like they did with Suzuki) or still a new engine developed by Honda ?
Hope the hybrid hatch comes to the US. I have an accord hybrid and love it. I want the smaller hatch.
goodfpr ypy
The A pillar field of view is a real thing. I tapped a pedestrian turning left driving my wife's 2010 Civic (U.S. model). That model is "cab forward" and the A pillars are very stout with an additional vertical beam. Under the right conditions, the setup has a large blind spot. The pedestrian was walking at dusk and for a few critical seconds their walking and my turning was in perfect alignment to render them hitten by the A pillar. If it wasn't for the passenger alert it could 've been worse. And I thought it was all about the c-pillar up untill this year.
what's the name of the background song boss..it's lit
Civic has the best front end of any small car under 30k
new peugeot 308?
Wrong
Not this new one I'm afraid
With the quad LEDS headlights alone is 🔥only with the headlights on
I am curious about the engine. I test drove the H-RV with that 1.5 130 hp engine and it almost put me to sleep. I understand lower emission standards and less pollution but still cars such as these deserve an engine that can put a smile on your face once in a while.
this the civic i like i cant believe this not coming to the states
Great design very fresh makeover 😎
Oh man, that’s a surprisingly pleasant looking rear end..
Love my mk8 Civic. Really haven't liked the look of any models since, but this is a definite improvement. Much cleaner.
agree with you
Good video, but here in the USA, I have not seen a Civic with front/back parking sensors. Also, they need to get rid of the rear windshield wiper for the hatchback. Add, power folding mirrors and a 360° camera, and its a winner.
I also like the new tail lights but would've preferred if the left and right sides protruded just slightly further back.
Bulb signal lights in the rear😬? Or am I mistaking?
It's quite retro, huge control knobs, large rear light cluster, manual tailgate. You didn't mention anything about what safety tech it has? Adaptive cruise, lane keep assist?
My family rented a 10th gen one for a Thailand road trip, pretty roomy, functional interior, but terrible screen and the CVT got really vocal when my dad was pushing on the mountain roads with steep inclines. This new one looks quite stylish and inoffensive, definitely not like the one my family drove. Because of COVID, there haven't been any motor shows, or similar events in my country where the public can get up close to new cars, so still waiting to check this new one out.
Same experience here in the US with the CVT. It’s good everywhere but steep inclines. It starts to whine very loudly. I’m guessing the fluid gets starved.
I think this hybrid system doesn't have a cvt
@@marcusmcneal7453 no cvt in hybrid
@@mcfc6320 Honda hasn’t used a traditional automatic in the Civic in over a decade.
@@marcusmcneal7453 they have the 6mt option. If your complaining about auto trans, then why complain about the cvt? I'm not sure where this "save the crap automatics" movement came from but I grew up driving 6mt. Paddle shifters might be an option like the integra is. I don't understand your generation and the obsession with automatic transmissions.
Whar gearbox does it have CVT or torque converter?
The Civic Hybrid would be a HUGE seller in Canada if we got it here!
Soon
Car looks good, thing is you highlight exactly why crossovers rule for families. I’ve got a rav 4 which is probably similar in length yet has a massive boot, an order of magnitude more space and comfort and is easier to get into and out of let alone load children into their seats. I bet it’s more efficient too even though it’s awd.
It looks nice. Room in the back should be sufficient for the family.
I do wonder if it can do electric only and how many miles? I heard no mention of this
I think it's like the Jazz. The petrol motor only drives the generator to provide electricity to drive the wheels with the electric motor. Electric transmission as it would be called in a locomotive. Range on electric only will be virtually nothing (the Jazz can do about 3 miles). I am not convinced that this will be relevant for more than about ten minutes. It is rather like their first hybrids in this regard. They were half a generation ahead of the best conventional cars at best. As soon as the competition improved slightly, it made more sense from both an ecological and economic point of view to go with the simpler cars. I freely admit that I am a full convert to BEVs, I think hybrids have very little life left in them. They are over for me as I can do everything I need with a BEV. I believe that most people could manage with one once the cost of them come down a little.
Nice clean design.
I really like this car! I noticed the US-model doesn’t have rear seat air vents but the European one does!
Diffuser on the rear looks nice, overall it's a cool design, would like to see it in a more exciting color
it comes in a bold blue about as bright as a blue could be made. like a bubblegum blue. It may be too loud for me though. They limited colors it seemed for certain models so where I live the sport hatch comes in three colors only. White, black and sonic grey.
@@jamesmedina2062 I'd probably have the blue then yeah!
Nice details
I'm envious the Euro version gets the pano roof.
They also have a sedan version on petrol on other markets.
This is everything I’ve wanted for my next car! Now they just need to bring it to the USA 😐
Big improvement, would consider buying this one!
biy ot
Civics are cool cars…. They drive so well and sit so low to the ground…. You always feel like you’re floating in these cars and the buzzzzzy transmission feel is amazing on these cars
not sure about the looks, but the interior looks good and a 2l engine sounds like Honda have finally done the right thing with hybrid
Have to say.... Impressed with the simpler style. Will be interesting to see if the Type R is a bigger electric motor?
Type r will not have any hybrid or electric engine
@@harrisr1018 Well good luck to Honda then. As even the new AMG is hybrid. If Honda wants to loose even more market share then keep making ICE with "no EV" & "no hybrid". I have owned Honda models for over 30 years... and like many... I am not impressed with the lack of decent hybrids or EV's from them.
@@mikadavies660 type r isnt an amg competitor. It's always made 2 litre ICE engines for the type r
It does actually look pretty nice!
Great promo video of a two year old Civic Rory.
