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, in 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. This generation is also the first Civic since the second-generation not to offer a two-door version (whether three-door hatchback or two-door coupe) due to declining sales.

Development of the eleventh-generation Civic was led by large project leader Tomoyuki Yamagami. Honda has referred to the design approach of the model as “Man-Maximum, Machine-Minimum”.

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.

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 Yorii Japan, the Civic Hatchback is produced in the U.S. at the Greensburg, Indiana plant, the latter being the first time that a Civic Hatchback has been built in the U.S. (although other Civic body styles have been built in the U.S. since 1986).

The facelifted Civic was revealed on 21 May 2024 for the 2025 model year and released on June 12, 2025. The changes includes an updated front fascia with a new grille and new body coloured trim pieces, new exterior colours, new alloy wheel designs, a new grey interior colour, and Google built-in feature for the infotainment system.

Along with the Civic facelift, the Hybrid powertrain of Civic sedan and hatchback was launched in 2024 for the North American market, making it the de facto successor to the discontinued Insight (3rd generation). The hybrid powertrain also replaces the 180hp turbocharged L15 engine. The K20C2 was also replaced.

The hybrid version, marketed as Civic e:HEV, was revealed on March 23, 2022, in both sedan and Hatchback configurations. The Civic e:HEV Hatchback became available in Japan and Europe, while the Civic e:HEV sedan became available in Thailand. The model is powered by a newly developed 2.0-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine with direct injection, combined with a lithium-ion battery and two electric motors. Power for the motors is supplied via a compact 36 kg, 1kWh lithium-ion 72-cell battery pack. 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.

The performance-oriented derivative of the eleventh-generation Civic Hatchback was introduced as the sixth-generation Civic Type R, and was unveiled on July 20, 2022. 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-litre 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 Hatchback specifications for the Japanese market were revealed on 6 August 2021 and it went on sale in Japan the next month, on September 3. It was manufactured locally in Yorii, Saitama. The Japanese specification Civic Hatchback comes in two trim levels: LX and EX, it is powered with a 1.5-litre L15C turbocharged petrol engine paired with either 6-speed manual transmission or CVT. In July 2022, the e:HEV petrol hybrid powertrain was released for the Civic range in Japan.

The eleventh-generation Civic made its European debut in August 2022, sourced from Japan followed by the closure of Honda’s UK Swindon plant, only the hatchback bodystyle is offered and the regular Civic range comes exclusively with a petrol hybrid powertrain.

The eleventh-generation Civic was released on 16 June 2021, as a 2022 model year in North America. In the United States, the Civic initially came in four trim levels: LX, Sport, EX, and Touring. Trim levels are the same for the Civic Hatchback, except for the EX which is badged EX-L. The LX and Sport trims come with a 2.0-litre petrol engine, while the EX (or EX-L for Hatchback) and Touring models come with a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine. Power outputs are 158 hp (118 kW) for the larger, naturally aspirated engine, while the turbocharged option puts out 180 hp (134 kW).

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.

The 2023 model year eliminated the LX trim, leaving the Sport trim to be the base trim. The LX trim was later reintroduced in the 2023 model year as demand was high enough. The Civic Hybrid was released in late 2024 as a 2025 model year, making it the de facto successor to the discontinued Insight (3rd generation). It is available in sedan and hatchback body styles and is identical to the European model, without the “e:HEV” designation. Both body styles are available in Sport and Sport Touring trims.

Available only as a sedan since the coupe bodystyle was discontinued, it is powered by a more powerful version of the EX and Touring’s 1.5-litre, direct injected turbocharged petrol engine and is only available with a 6-speed manual transmission. The Si remains a North American exclusive model, being only sold in that region. The engine has variable timing control on the intake and exhaust valves, and variable valve lift on the exhaust valves. It produces 200 hp (149 kW) and 192 lb⋅ft (260 N⋅m) of torque. Peak horsepower is reached at 6,000 rpm, while low end maximum torque is available between 1,800 and 5,000 rpm.

Honda facelifted the eleventh-generation Civic for the 2025 model year and the facelifted Si has been available for sale since August 8, 2024. The manual transmission was reworked and gained a rev-matching mode from the Type R. Mechanical differences include better exhaust system flow, fixed-rate dampers and larger brake rotors.
