Honda’s Civic is a family hatchback with appeal, thanks to a genuinely unique design and solid driving experience. Especially if you want to stand out from the crowd, the bold exterior lines will suit you down to the ground. Here you’ll find more info on a Honda Civic lease deal with Vanarama.If performance is more your thing, there’s also the Civic Type R hot hatch – adding power and even more focused handling for tremendous fun.
Boot space is generous at 478 litres of space – more than a lot of rivals. The rear sets also fold in a 60/40 split for extra, with smaller storage spaces dotted around the car. These include a big glovebox, reasonable door pockets and a cubby hole in the centre console underneath a sliding cover.
If space and rear comfort are a priority, such as with families, a Skoda Octavia lease deal is an excellent alternative.
The Civic’s 1.0-litre petrol engine, our top pick, promises up to 47.9mpg, depending on the spec. With the performance-focused Type R that expectedly drops to 34mpg – with the decreased economy making way for improved dynamics.
If running costs are high on your priority list, the Civic e:HEV hybrid will be available in the UK from late 2022. Before then, many alternatives are available – the Ford Focus, for example, has a mild-hybrid system to reduce consumption. Other full hybrid and plug-in hybrid alternatives are available too, including the Toyota Corolla and Skoda Octavia.

It’s not uncommon to hear people say that modern cars all look the same, but the Honda Civic is certainly one that doesn’t conform. Starting with the sweeps, curves and sharp lines adorning the bodywork, it stands out in the right way.
Opt for the high-performance Type R version and that’s added to with a rear wing and even sportier bodykit. But the appeal goes further – the Civic offers some great engines, plenty of safety features as standard and a drive that’s easy to enjoy.
All Civics have a sporty vibe and you sit appropriately low in the driver’s seat. Build and material quality is very good, with most models getting a touchscreen infotainment system. If smartphone connectivity – through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto – is important to you, it’s the trims above SE you’ll be looking at. A 7-inch touchscreen is also available.
It might look sporty and aggressive, but the drive of the Civic is actually rather civilised. The ride comfort is very good – although larger alloy wheels make things bumpier on rough roads, that’s a sacrifice you’d make on almost any vehicle when opting for fancier alloys.
EX and EX Sport Line trims get an adaptive damper system, which lets you stiffen or soften the suspension depending on what kind of driving you’re doing. Handling is also solid, while the Ford Focus is a great alternative if that’s important to you.
It feels composed and confident on winding roads, and capable on the motorway. The engines are all petrol-powered. You can choose between a 1.0-litre model with 126hp, available with a manual gearbox or a CVT automatic, or a 1.5-litre with 182hp, which is only available in the top-spec Sport trim. The 1.0-litre option is our top pick, however – it’s as good as any equivalent on the market, and will manage town and motorway duties with no issues.
If you want more sportiness, then consider leasing the terrific Civic Type R, which with 320hp is both powerful and agile, yet comfortable enough to use every day. It’s a brilliant hot hatch, with bold looks to boot.
