Honda’s enduring Civic medium-sized hatchback entered its eleventh generation in 2022. There’s something of a revolution going on, with conventional petrol and diesel engines disappearing, replaced by petrol-hybrid power only. The Civic faces stiff competition from hybrid hatchback rivals like the Toyota Corolla, as well as plug-in hybrid alternatives. Find out how the Honda Civic e:HEV (2022-) performs in our full road test review.
