The Honda Civic hatchback range enters 2024 unchanged, with prices ranging from $47,200 to $72,600 drive-away.
The Honda Civic enters 2024 with the same price and equipment list as featured in 2023.
With its latest (11th) generation, the Civic now has a smaller model line-up and a more premium positioning in Australia.
It’s now hatchback-only here, and is offered in highly specified petrol and hybrid variants plus the high-performance Type R.
With a higher base price than its predecessor, sales are naturally down.
Between January and December 2023, Honda sold just 1164 examples of its Civic. It was outsold by the Volkswagen Golf (3352) and Audi A3 (2948).
