Why Lease the Honda Civic?

The Honda Civic is a family hatchback in a market that has largely moved to SUVs, and that is part of its appeal. It sits lower, steers more precisely and rides better than most crossovers at a similar monthly cost, and it remains one of the genuinely enjoyable cars to drive in its class.

In the UK it is sold with one powertrain: a 2.0 litre e:HEV full hybrid producing 184hp. It charges its own battery from the engine and from braking, so there is no plug and nothing to remember. For most of the time around town the wheels are driven by the electric motor, with the petrol engine acting largely as a generator, which is why it feels smooth and quiet in traffic.

Boot space runs from 409 to 415 litres with the rear seats up depending on trim, which is competitive for a family hatchback. If you need more height or a raised driving position, compare the Honda ZR-V or the larger Honda CR-V.

Honda Civic Engine and Running Costs

There is one engine and no options to weigh up, which simplifies the decision considerably. The 2.0 litre e:HEV pairs a petrol engine with electric motors and a small battery, and it is a full hybrid rather than a mild or plug-in one, so it can run on electricity alone at low speeds but never needs charging. Fuel economy is strongest in town and on mixed roads, where the electric side does most of the work, and tails off on sustained motorway running.

The honest caveat is the warranty. Honda covers the Civic for three years or 90,000 miles, which is shorter than Hyundai's five years and considerably shorter than Kia's seven. On a two or three year lease that is academic, since the car stays covered throughout. On a four year agreement the warranty expires before the contract does, leaving you responsible for anything that goes wrong in the final stretch. If you are choosing a longer term, that is worth factoring in, and it is a reason to consider adding a maintenance package.

Honda Civic Trim Levels

Civic Elegance

The entry trim, and already well equipped, with the touchscreen infotainment, smartphone connectivity and Honda's driver assistance systems included as standard.

Civic Sport

Adds sportier exterior detailing and interior upgrades over Elegance, and is the trim most drivers settle on.

Civic Advance

The top trim, with the fullest equipment list including the upgraded audio system. Note that the boot is fractionally smaller on Advance, because of the speaker housing in the boot side.

Sport is the sweet spot for most drivers, adding the equipment worth having without the Advance's slightly reduced boot. Take Advance only if the audio system genuinely matters to you.

Leasing the Honda Civic

With a single powertrain and three trims, a Civic quote is unusually simple to compare: the variables are the trim, the contract term, the mileage allowance and the initial rental. That makes it easy to line up two quotes properly, by totalling every rental across the agreement rather than reading the monthly figure alone.

For company car drivers the Civic sits below petrol and diesel equivalents for company car tax because it is a full hybrid, but above any plug-in hybrid or electric car, since it has no electric-only range to speak of. Tax rules change each tax year, so confirm the position for the specific vehicle with your accountant before ordering on business contract hire.

Given the three year warranty, a maintenance package is worth pricing on a longer agreement, since it covers servicing and wear items for the full term. You can also compare personal leasing options or read our guide to lease maintenance packages.

Honda Civic Leasing FAQs

Yes, and in the UK it is sold only as a hybrid. The 2.0 litre e:HEV is a full self-charging hybrid producing 184hp, which charges its own battery from the engine and from braking. There is no plug, no charging to arrange and no mild hybrid or petrol-only version to choose between.

No. The Civic e:HEV is a full hybrid, not a plug-in, so it charges itself as you drive and there is nothing to remember. That makes it a sensible choice if you have nowhere to charge at home, since a plug-in hybrid that is never plugged in uses more fuel than a self-charging one.

Between 409 and 415 litres with the rear seats up, depending on trim, which is competitive for a family hatchback. The Advance trim is fractionally smaller than the others because of the speaker housing in the boot side, so if outright space matters, Elegance or Sport is the better pick.

Sport for most drivers. It adds the styling and interior upgrades worth having over Elegance without the Advance's slightly reduced boot. Elegance is genuinely well equipped as an entry point, and Advance is worth it only if the upgraded audio system matters to you.

Three years or 90,000 miles, which is shorter than several rivals. Hyundai offers five years and Kia seven. On a two or three year lease the car stays covered for the whole agreement, but on a four year term the warranty runs out before the contract does, which is worth knowing when you choose your term.

It is a reasonable one rather than an outstanding one. As a full hybrid it attracts lower company car tax than an equivalent petrol or diesel, but it sits above any plug-in hybrid or fully electric car, because it has no meaningful electric-only range. If minimising company car tax is the priority, an electric car will beat it comfortably. Rates change each tax year, so check with your accountant.
