Introducing the new Honda Civic
As a smart, modern hatchback, the new Honda Civic keeps things simple: it feels easy to drive, it makes day-to-day running costs easier to manage, and it gives you the space you actually need for real life. The latest Civic e:HEV setup also sharpens the "hybrid" experience, so town driving often feels smooth and quiet, while longer A-road and motorway trips stay relaxed and efficient.
This newest model also moves the cabin forward, with a cleaner digital layout on higher trims and a clear 9-inch touchscreen at the centre of it all. Add in Honda's latest safety tech, and you get a Civic that looks after you in the background while you get on with the drive.
If you'd like to see how it feels on your regular route, you can book a test drive with Vertu.

New Honda Civic FAQs
Is the new Honda Civic typically in a higher insurance group?
The Honda Civic e:HEV usually sits in a higher insurance group than many smaller hatchbacks, mainly because it comes well equipped with advanced safety systems and modern hybrid technology. As a guide, it's commonly placed around group 28 for UK insurance. Your exact quote still depends on factors such as trim, postcode, driving history, and annual mileage.
Is a fixed or flexible servicing plan better for the new Honda Civic?
A fixed plan can suit you if you like predictable costs and you expect to keep your Civic for a steady annual mileage. A flexible plan can work well if your mileage changes year to year, or if you prefer servicing that follows the car's condition over time.
If you want an easy starting point, talk to the team about your driving routine, then look at Honda servicing so you can compare plan options around your likely usage.
Is the new Honda Civic easy to park in tight spaces?
The Civic stays easy to place on the road because visibility is good and the car's driver-assistance tech supports low-speed control. Parking sensors and camera support (spec varies by trim) help you judge distances more confidently when you reverse into a bay or squeeze into a tighter on-street space.
Is the manufacturer warranty on a new Honda Civic reassuring for everyday ownership?
A new Honda Civic comes with a manufacturer warranty designed to give peace of mind for day-to-day driving, especially if you keep up with the recommended servicing schedule. Warranty terms can vary by market and component type, but UK coverage is commonly advertised as three years or 90,000 miles, whichever comes first, with additional cover periods applying to certain corrosion protections.
Is the Advance trim the right choice for the new Honda Civic?
Advance suits drivers who want the Civic experience with the biggest step up in luxury and convenience. It's a great match if you care about the cabin feeling more premium on every drive, and you value standout upgrades such as a panoramic roof, a higher-end audio system, and stronger headlight technology for night driving.
Are the tech features of the new Honda Civic straightforward to use day to day?
The Civic keeps the main tech layout tidy, with a clear central touchscreen and a driver-focused display setup on higher trims. That makes it easier to find key functions quickly, and it helps keep driving information easy to read without feeling overloaded.
