There's a 7-inch base touchscreen (below left) and the Tourings get a 9-inch unit with increased functionality (below right), but both represent improvements over the last-generation system with quicker responses, a more sensible menu structure and no glitches during our time with it. Perhaps most important, however, the Civic is no longer held back by its infotainment system. They're so great Audi probably wishes it had come up with them first. We also have to call out the dash-width air vents, with their honeycomb openings, metallic finish and clever knob controllers (they're outlined in red in the Civic Si). There's more than a whiff of Audi right down to the way the buttons and knobs click satisfyingly. This is still an economy car, so there's plenty of hard plastic about (center console, door sills), but what you see and touch most come together in a tasteful, modern design that looks (and feels) like it belongs in a much pricier car. In a segment filled with surprisingly impressive interiors, the 2023 Civic interior delivers even in the base Sport trim level with cloth seats and the base infotainment system (pictured in the large picture above). What are the Civic interior and in-car technology like? We also know that a Civic Hybrid is coming to replace the Insight, but the timing of that was not known at the time of this writing.

Ditto its various traditional competitors, the Hyundai Elantra, Mazda 3, Nissan Sentra, Kia Forte or Toyota Corolla. Frankly, if you thought the Civic Hatchback looked better inside and out than the mechanically related Acura Integra, we wouldn’t argue. It's also worth pointing out that it looks pretty darn good, especially the ultra-cool interior with its full-width honeycomb air vents. Still, when you consider just how much car you’re getting for your money, the Civic still offers tremendous value given its mix of space, equipment, refinement, performance, fuel economy, safety … we could go on. Now, those on a tighter budget may admittedly not be among them this year as Honda nixed the old LX trim level and jacked up the prices. The latest-generation Civic, introduced last year, is just so well-rounded and so well-executed that it really does transcend its simple compact car segment and open itself up to all sorts of buyers. Weekend sports car? The Civic Si (and even the Sport Touring with a manual) is a blast. Entry-level luxury car? The Civic is surprisingly luxurious. Thinking about getting a midsize sedan or small SUV? Consider a Civic, too, it’s surprisingly spacious. This not-that-compact sedan and hatchback are just that good. Pros: Cool and well-made interior very spacious powerful and efficient turbo engine well-balanced driving dynamics Cons: Pricey point of entry no hybrid (yet) Si interior is a bit tackyĮven if you could spend a lot more than the 2023 Honda Civic costs, there's a very good chance you should still consider it. 2023 Honda Civic Review: The only car you'd ever need?
