The 2019 Honda Civic Sedan now flaunts a minor yet newer styling upgrade with recently added Sport trim alongside LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring configurations. Starting at a price of $19,550, it boasts two serious I-4 engines of 158 hp and 174 hp under the hood that can be as efficient as 42 MPG at its zenith.

Engineered to have a trunk of 15.1 cu-ft in the back with optional update in the infotainment system this year, the Honda Civic has impressive offering on display along with Coupe and Hatchback siblings. However, it does not rest in peace as the likes of the Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3, and Hyundai Elantra keep the segment choice high and dry.

The EX trim is the one to pick among all as it confronts you with comfort seating, engaging interior tech-ends, and impressive build all-around. Also, it brings in all such features that can keep you involved inside the cabin at much more reasonable price than the higher trims without compromising the thrill of that 1.5T I-4 engine.

Engine and Performance
8.5/10

"The Civic's four-cylinder engines are peppy." - Car And Driver

The 2019 Honda Civic carries forward the base 158 hp 2.0L and the 174 hp 1.5L Turbo I-4 engines from the previous year. Available with only FWD, the 2019 Civic comes with a standard CVT. However, one can switch to a 6-speed manual transmission too in the Sport and LX models specifically.

The Honda Civic further enhances its driving pursuit through its Driver Selectable Mode that integrates ECON, Sport, and Normal dynamics for all except the LX edition. Depending on the mode, the steering sensitivity and throttle response change and adjust automatically.

Bashing a 0-60 MPH in 8.2 seconds and quarter-mile in 16.3 seconds with a top speed of 119 MPH, the Civic stands in the high steam of the segment. At the same time, it is brought to halt from 70 MPH within a travel of 184 ft by the ABS and Brake Assist that assist the 11.1-inch front and 10.2-inch rear disc brakes.

Models	2019 Honda Civic	2019 Toyota Corolla	2019 Mazda 3	2019 Hyundai Elantra
MSRP	$19,550	$19,655	$21,920	$18,130

Quarter Mile	16.3 sec	N/A	16.2 sec	16.4 sec
Top Speed	119 MPH	N/A	116 MPH	116 MPH

As per figures, the Civic is 0.3 seconds slower than the 2019 Mazda 3 in th 0-60 MPH but a second quicker than the Elantra. However, in terms of top speed, it outclasses both Elantra and Mazda 3 by 3 MPH and that too with a comparable quarter-mile run.

Fuel Economy
8.5/10

"Look up frugal in the dictionary and you'll find the 2019 Honda Civic." - The Car Connection

The 2019 Honda Civic offers a combined mileage of 29 MPG that reduces to 25 MPG while driving in the cities. And with its 12.4-gallon fuel tank, it goes on and on for a range of up to 360 on average. However, one can have a fuel economy of nearly 42 MPG when the CVT is employed under the platform.

Model	2019 Honda Civic	2019 Toyota Corolla	2019 Mazda 3	2019 Hyundai Elantra
MPG (City)	25	29	25	26
MPG (Highway)	36	36	33	36
MPG (Combined)	29	32	28	29
Fuel Capacity (Gallons)	12.4	13.2	12.7	14.0
Range (City/Hwy/Combined) (Miles)	310/446/360	383/475/422	317/419/356	364/504/406

In terms of fuel economy, the Corolla is 3 MPG more efficient than the Civic for your general commutes. This also helps the latter to have 62 miles extra combined range over the Civic. While the Elantra has got an edge 46 miles due to its 1.6-gallon bigger fuel tank.

Interior
8.0/10

"It has enough of the good stuff for any small-car shopper." - Car and Driver

The 2019 Honda Civic charms an interior that has leather upholsetry on the seats for the EX-L and Touring along with leatherette steering column. Beside that, the lower trims like the EX, Sport, and LX get no more than cloth seats inside the cabin.

Speaking of the comfort, one notices heated front row for the EX and other higher trim but heated rear seating stays exclusive to the Touring configuration. However, the trunk of 15.1 cu-ft comes standard for all which is best-in-class too at the same time.

Model	2019 Honda Civic	2019 Toyota Corolla	2019 Mazda 3	2019 Hyundai Elantra
Seating Capacity	5	5	5	5
Front Row (Head/ Shoulder/ Leg) (in.)	37.5/ 57.0/ 42.3	38.3/ 54.8/ 42.0	38.0/ 54.8/ 42.3	40.6/ 56.5/ 42.3
Rear Row (Head/ Shoulder/ Leg) (in.)	36.8/ 55.0/ 37.4	37.1/ 54.8/ 41.4	37.2/ 53.5/ 35.1	37.3/ 55.6/ 38.0
Cargo Capacity (cu. ft.)	15.1	13.1	13.2	14.4

Though the Civic has 2 cu-ft larger cargo volume, it is squeezed in the rear row legroom by 4 inches as compared to the Corolla. The Mazda 3 also has a lower cargo of some 2 cu-ft than the Civic. Considering the entertainment and infotainment 5.0-inch touchscreen and a 4-speaker audio have been fitted inside the LX.

Moving up the trim level brings the 7-inch touchscreen along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Coming on top of the line is the Touring trim that cherishes the functionalities of Honda Satellite-Link Navigation System and 450-Watt Premium Audio System.

Exterior
8.5/10

"The new look is subtle and helps the car look a little sleeker and less imposing." - Edmunds

Having the styling update on the front fascia, the 2019 Honda Civic now beholds a low and wide stance with Automatic Halogen/LED Lighting as per trim specifics. Enshrined in exterior colors like the Crystal Black Pearl and Cosmic Blue Metallic, the silhouette comes out even more appealing.

The Honda Civic thrashes the track with its 16-inch and 17-inch wheels hugging all-season tires around them. But the 18-inch wheels of the Sport trim with a lip spoiler in the back make the side appear a little more masculine. Also a C-shaped tailight has been placed too for all of them for a balanced rear look altogether.

Model	2019 Honda Civic	2019 Toyota Corolla	2019 Mazda 3	2019 Hyundai Elantra
Curb Weight (lbs.)	2,917	2,840	3,248	2,822
Length (in.)	182.7	183.1	183.5	181.9
Width (in.)	70.9	69.9	70.7	70.9
Height (in.)	55.7	57.3	56.9	56.5
Ground Clearance (in.)	6.3	6.7	5.5	5.3
Wheelbase (in.)	106.3	106.3	107.3	106.3

Regarding the dimensions, the Civic has almost 1-inch higher ground clearance than the Mazda 3 and Elantra, hence, keeping the platform safe from impacts of gravels. Also, it is 200 lbs lighter than the Mazda 3 because of which it will have lower cornering force at the wheels and more stability.

2019 Honda Civic vs. 2019 Toyota Corolla

The 2019 Honda Civic simply shies away from the 2019 Toyota Corolla in almost all the parameters roght from range frugality to cabin spaciousness. However, that offset is blown away with former's superior power and trunk volume for the competitive price range. Hence, one can go for either of the two.

2019 Honda Civic vs 2019 Mazda3

The 2019 Mazda3 and the 2019 Honda Civic are at par with each other in terms of both fuel economy and power surge. Even the handling and interior tech-ends are no different for both of them. Also, they are equally spaced inside the cabin. So, one can go for anyone.

2019 Honda Civic vs 2019 Hyundai Elantra

The 2019 Honda Civic stays comparable against the 2019 Hyundai Elantra in power performance. But the latter tends to have better range coverage. Apart from that, they hardly deviate from one another either in tech or appeal. Therefore, one might incline towards the Elanta a little more than Civic.

The 2019 Honda Civic has got all right from power dynamics to fuel economy with practical cabin and trunk. The safety asset and build are also impressive for this 5-seater sedan alongside adaptable interior tech-ends. So, one should keep it on high notes.
