The Honda Civic spans more than five decades of production, multiple body styles and markets worldwide. The statistics below separate global sales and reach from U.S. model-year estimates, controlled safety tests and recall populations so each figure retains its proper definition.
Key Honda Civic Statistics
The most broadly useful Honda Civic figures include:
- In the global period through 2025, more than 27 million Civics had been sold worldwide since the 1972 launch.
- Through 2025, the Civic had been sold in more than 170 countries globally.
- Honda’s 2025 global forecast expected hybrid models to represent approximately 40% of Civic sales.
- In fiscal 2024, Honda sold 1.628 million automobiles in North America, a company-wide total.
- In fiscal 2024, Honda produced 1.600 million automobiles in North America, also a company-wide total.

Honda Civic Sales and Global Scale Statistics
Honda’s Civic history provides the broadest long-term scale measure. Honda reports more than 27 million global sales from the model’s 1972 launch through 2025, and says the nameplate has been sold in more than 170 countries; these are cumulative reach measures rather than a single-year sales count.
| Measure | Period | Result | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cumulative Civic sales | Through 2025 | More than 27 million vehicles | Global |
| Countries where Civic was sold | Through 2025 | More than 170 countries | Honda-stated market reach |
| Expected hybrid share of Civic sales | 2025 forecast | Approximately 40% | Honda global forecast |
The hybrid figure is a forecast, not a reported final share. Honda’s North American totals add manufacturing and company context, but they must not be treated as Civic-only figures.
| Honda North America measure | Period | Result | Definition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidated automobile sales | Fiscal 2024 | 1.628 million | All Honda automobiles |
| Automobile sales change | Fiscal 2024 vs. fiscal 2023 | 36.2% increase | Honda-wide |
| Automobile production | Fiscal 2024 | 1.600 million | All Honda automobiles |
| Automobile production change | Fiscal 2024 vs. fiscal 2023 | 28.1% increase | Honda-wide |
| Consolidated automobile sales | Fiscal 2021 | 1.480 million | Honda-wide |
Honda attributes the fiscal-2024 North American sales increase mainly to CR-V and Civic sales, but the cited report does not isolate Civic units. The fiscal-2021 total likewise notes Accord and Civic declines without providing a Civic-only count.

Honda Civic Fuel Economy and Hybrid Efficiency Data
The 2025 U.S. Civic Sedan EPA table shows a clear separation between conventional and hybrid ratings. These are EPA label estimates, so actual mileage varies with driving conditions, vehicle configuration and use.
| 2025 Civic Sedan trim | City mpg | Highway mpg | Combined mpg |
|---|---|---|---|
| LX | 32 | 41 | 36 |
| Sport | 31 | 39 | 34 |
| Sport Hybrid | 50 | 47 | 49 |
| Sport Touring Hybrid | 50 | 47 | 49 |
The hybrid sedan combined rating is 15 mpg higher than the LX rating shown in Honda’s table, a simple comparison of the listed EPA combined estimates rather than a measured real-world gain. The nonhybrid LX fuel tank is listed at 12.4 gallons, while the Sport Hybrid tank is listed at 10.6 gallons.
Source: 2025 Civic Sedan Feature Guide: EPA Fuel-Economy Ratings.
Historical EPA tables show why model years and testing methods must remain explicit. EPA’s 1975 highest-fuel-economy vehicle table lists the Civic at 28.3 estimated real-world mpg, while the 1995 table lists 47.3 estimated real-world mpg; those historical measures are not directly comparable with current window-sticker ratings.
Honda Civic Dimensions, Capacity and Powertrain Specifications
The 2025 Civic specifications vary by body style and powertrain. The Hatchback CVT lists five total passenger positions, with two front and three rear, while the manual Type R lists four total positions, with two front and two rear.
| 2025 specification | Civic Hatchback CVT | Civic Type R manual |
|---|---|---|
| Total passenger positions | 5 | 4 |
| Front/rear positions | 2 / 3 | 2 / 2 |
| Engine displacement | 1,993 cm³ | 1,996 cm³ |
| Minimum pump octane | 87 or higher | 91 or higher |
The fuel requirement is materially different: the Hatchback CVT requires unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number of 87 or higher, while the Type R requires premium unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number of 91 or higher.
Honda’s 2025 Civic Hatchback specification also lists air-conditioning refrigerant at 435–485 g and lubricant quantity at 105–120 cm³. These are configuration or service ranges, not measures of vehicle performance.

Honda Civic Crash-Test Injury and Structural Statistics
IIHS measurements describe controlled crash-test performance, not population accident rates or owner outcomes. The 2022 Civic test recorded relatively specific intrusion and dummy-measurement values across small-overlap, moderate-overlap and side-impact procedures.
| IIHS test measure | Result | Test context |
|---|---|---|
| Lower hinge-pillar intrusion | 1 cm | Driver-side small overlap, 2022 test vehicle |
| Left toepan intrusion | 10 cm | Driver-side small overlap |
| Driver maximum HIC-15 | 217 | Driver-side small overlap |
| Driver chest compression | 26 mm | Driver-side small overlap |
| Driver maximum Nij | 0.14 | Driver-side small overlap |
| Passenger HIC-15 | 113 | Passenger-side small overlap |
| Passenger chest compression | 21 mm | Passenger-side small overlap |
In the updated moderate-overlap front test of a 2022 Civic Sport, footrest intrusion measured 4 cm and left footwell intrusion measured 7 cm. Driver HIC-15 measured 377, driver chest compression measured 20 mm, the rear-passenger chest index was 35 and rear-passenger shoulder-belt tension was 3.6 kN.
The updated side test measured 47 mm of maximum driver torso deflection and 37 mm of average driver torso deflection, while combined driver pelvis force measured 5.1 kN. These values belong to controlled dummies and test conditions, not a real-world injury-rate dataset.

Honda Civic Pedestrian Prevention, Lighting and Restraint Data
The 2024 IIHS rating page, using a 2022 Civic test vehicle, reports results for pedestrian prevention, headlights and seat-belt reminders. The outcomes are scenario-specific and should not be interpreted as field collision frequencies.
In daylight testing, the Civic avoided a child-pedestrian collision at both 12 mph and 25 mph. At night in the parallel-adult scenario, it avoided the adult-pedestrian collision at 25 mph with high beams.
With low beams, impact speed was reduced by 18 mph in the 37 mph parallel-adult night test. With high beams, the Civic gave a pedestrian warning 2 seconds before impact in that same 37 mph scenario.
| IIHS lighting measure | Result | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Low-beam straightaway right-edge illumination | 110.2 m | 5-lux threshold |
| High-beam straightaway right-edge illumination | 152.2 m | 5-lux threshold |
Seat-belt reminder testing found that the front-row alert lasted at least 90 seconds. The second-row startup visual alert lasted at least 60 seconds, and the second-row belt-disengaged audible/visual alert lasted at least 30 seconds; these evaluate system behavior, not observed belt use.

Honda Civic Recall Populations and Safety-Campaign Statistics
Recall figures require especially careful scope labels because a campaign can cover several Honda and Acura models. The affected-unit total below is not a Civic-only prevalence estimate.
NHTSA recall 24V-744, filed in October 2024, potentially affected 1,693,199 vehicles across listed Honda and Acura models, including 2022–2025 Civics. The campaign covered 2022–2025 Honda Civic model years and included Civic Type R, Civic Hatchback and other Honda and Acura vehicles.
The same steering-gearbox campaign covered Civic Hatchback Hybrid and Civic Hybrid 2025 vehicles in addition to regular Civic variants. The cited campaign list does not provide a hybrid-Civic-only affected-unit count.

NHTSA recall 23V-858, whose notice was issued in February 2024, included 2018–2020 Honda Civic vehicles in a multi-model fuel-pump campaign. It also covered the 2018–2020 Civic Type R, but the cited notice does not provide a Civic-only affected-unit count.

These recall model-year lists identify campaign scope, not defect rates, ownership risk or the share of Civics affected. A Civic-only prevalence calculation would require a separate Civic-specific denominator.
