Development

Development of the eleventh-generation Civic was led by large project leader Tomoyuki Yamagami. Honda has referred to the design approach of the model as "Man-Maximum, Machine-Minimum". Honda moved the bottom of the windshield pillars rearward by 1.96 in (50 mm), which elongates its hood for styling considerations. The model also adopts low beltline, and door-mounted side mirrors previously adopted by the eighth and ninth-generation Civic to improve visibility. The body structure received an 8 percent improvement of torsional rigidity and 13 percent improvement of bending rigidity compared to the previous generation, which supports improvements in ride, handling and NVH. The suspension setup had been tuned to take maximum advantage of the stiffer body structure and additional 1.4 in (36 mm) of wheelbase for an improved ride quality. For this generation, the Civic Hatchback features a fastback, "coupe-inspired" profile similar to liftbacks. Compared to the sedan model, Honda shortened the rear overhang by 124 mm (4.9 in), while keeping the same wheelbase length and rear doors. Alongside Yorii, Japan, the Civic Hatchback is produced in the U.S. at the Greensburg, Indiana plant, the latter being the first time that a Civic Hatchback has been built in the U.S. (although other Civic body styles have been built in the U.S. since 1986).

Along with the Civic facelift, the Hybrid powertrain of Civic sedan and liftback was launched in 2024 for the North American market, making it the of favor successor to the discontinued Insight (third generation). The hybrid powertrain also replaces the 180hp turbocharged L15 engine. The K20C2 was also replaced.

The hybrid version, marketed as Civic e:HEV, was revealed on 23 March 2022, in both sedan and liftback configurations. The Civic e:HEV liftback became available in Japan and Europe, while the Civic e:HEV sedan became available in Thailand. The model is powered by a newly developed 2.0-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine with direct injection, combined with a lithium-ion battery and two electric motors. Power for the motors is supplied via a compact 36 kg, 1kWh lithium-ion 72-cell battery pack. Honda claims a 41% thermal efficiency, and a combined CO2 emissions figure of 108 g/km (6.1 oz/mi). The Civic e:HEV replaced the Insight as part of a plan to focus on hybrid models of its three core models, which are CR-V, Accord and Civic.

Civic Type R

The performance-oriented derivative of the eleventh-generation Civic Hatchback was introduced as the sixth-generation Civic Type R, and was unveiled on 20 July 2022. Equipped with widened fenders like its predecessor, the FL5 in contrast gained widened rear doors and rear quarters instead of using a plastic add-on to achieve wider rear fenders.
