What is the Honda Civic?
The first Honda Civic was introduced back in 1972. The market was looking for a car that was cheap to run. And boasting 40mpg, the Civic soon became a popular choice.
In 1992 Honda opened its UK plant at Swindon, which today is the home of the Civic 5-door hatchback.
There are five sleekly styled sporty hatchback models to choose from, including the aerodynamic Civic Type R that offers an impressive 0-62mph in 5.7 seconds and a maximum speed of 169mph.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a Honda Civic cost to insure?
Depending on the model you choose and the age of the vehicle, the Honda Civic falls into a number of insurance group categories.
Insurance groups for the Civic range from 8-33:
| Model | Insurance Group |
| 1.0 petrol SE VTEC | 8 |
| Civic Type R | 33 |
The car's insurance group category is one of the things that will affect the cost of your insurance. However, when searching for your own quote, remember that other factors also influence the cost, such as your age, where you live and how many miles you drive per year. A young driver for example, will typically pay far more for their insurance than a driver over 50.
Can I cut the cost of my Honda Civic car insurance?
There are various ways to help ease the cost of your Honda Civic car insurance, such as:
- where you park your car overnight
- building up a good no claims discount
- black box, telematics insurance could help reduce premium costs, especially for young and inexperienced drivers
Insurance providers like safety features, and this could also have a bearing on the cost. The Honda Civic has a number of safety systems fitted as standard, including autonomous emergency braking, intelligent speed assistance and forward collision warning. At the end of 2017 the Civic was awarded a 5-star Euro NCAP rating.
