The eleventh-generation Honda Civic(FE/FL) is a compact car (C-segment) manufactured by Honda since 2021, replacing the tenth-generation Civic. It was launched in the North American market in June 2021, Southeast Asia in August, Japan and China in September, and Australia and New Zealand in December. It was launched in Pakistan in March 2022, followed by Europe in late 2022. The fastback/liftback variation (marketed as "Civic Hatchback") was unveiled on June 23, 2021, for North America and Japan. [13] This generation is also the first Civic since the second-generation not to offer a coupe version due to its declining sales. [14]
Development of the eleventh-generation Civic was led by large project leader Tomoyuki Yamagami. [15] [16] The design approach of the model is referred by Honda as "Man-Maximum, Machine-Minimum". [17]
Honda moved the bottom of the windshield pillars rearward by 1.96 in (50 mm), which elongates its hood for styling considerations. The model also adopts low beltline, and door-mounted side mirrors previously adopted by the eighth and ninth-generation Civic to improve visibility.
The body structure received an 8 percent improvement of torsional rigidity and 13 percent improvement of bending rigidity compared to the previous generation, which supports improvements in ride, handling and NVH. The suspension setup had been tuned to take maximum advantage of the stiffer body structure and additional 1.4 in (36 mm) of wheelbase for an improved ride quality. [17]
For this generation, the Civic Hatchback features a fastback, "coupe-inspired" profile similar to liftbacks. Compared to the sedan model, Honda shortened the rear overhang by 4.9 in (124 mm), while keeping the same wheelbase length and rear doors. Alongside Japan, the Civic Hatchback is produced in the U.S. at the Greensburg, Indiana plant. [18]
The hybrid version, marketed as Civic e:HEV, was revealed on March 23, 2022, in both sedan and Hatchback configurations. [19] The Civic e:HEV Hatchback became available in Japan and Europe, [20] [21] [22] while the Civic e:HEV sedan became available in Thailand. [23] [24] The model is powered by a newly developed 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle gasoline engine with direct injection, combined with a lithium-ion battery and two electric motors. Honda claims a 41% thermal efficiency, and a combined CO2 emissions figure of 108 g/km (6.1 oz/mi).
The Civic e:HEV replaced the Insight as part of a plan to focus on hybrid models of its 3 core models, which are CR-V, Accord and Civic. [25]
The performance-oriented derivative of the eleventh-generation Civic Hatchback was introduced as the sixth-generation Civic Type R was introduced on July 20, 2022. [26] Equipped with widened fenders like its predecessor, the FL5 in contrast gained widened rear doors and rear quarters instead of using a plastic add-on to achieve wider rear fenders. It is powered by the 2.0-liter K20C1 engine carried over from the previous generation with incremental changes such as a revised turbocharger, rated at 330 PS (243 kW; 325 hp).
The eleventh-generation Civic was released on 16 June 2021, as a 2022 model in North America. [27] [28] In the United States, the Civic comes in four trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, and Touring.

Power outputs are 158 hp (118 kW) for the larger, naturally aspirated engine, while the turbocharged option puts out 180 hp (134 kW). [30] In Canada, the Civic comes with the same four trim levels but instead arranged as LX, EX, Sport, and Touring in the lineup. In Canada, only the Touring model receives the more powerful 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine. All sedan and liftback models come standard with a CVT, however, the liftback can be equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission on Sport and Touring trims. [13]
