A used Honda Civic in Canada lists for roughly $8,500 to $36,000 in October 2026. The years I'd target are a 2019 to 2021 car at about $15,000 to $25,500.
What does a used Honda Civic cost in Canada?
These ranges are built from current average asking prices on CarGurus.ca across Canada, year by year. They cover the bulk of the market: a very high-kilometre car will sit below the range, and a nearly new, dealer-certified one at the top or above it.

Which Civic generation should you buy?
2013 to 2015: the budget pick
Simple, durable and cheap to own. The cabin and safety tech feel old now, but the mechanicals are solid.
2016 to 2021: the modern Civic
The tenth generation is a much bigger step up: more room, better ride, and a 2.0L or a 1.5L turbo. The 2019 refresh added Honda Sensing safety features across the range and fixed the volume knob.
2022 and newer: the grown-up Civic
Cleaner design, a quieter cabin and a better interior. It costs more, but it feels like a smaller Accord.
Civic pros and cons
What owners like
- Very reliable with basic maintenance
- Cheap to run and to insure
- Fun to drive for an economy car
What owners complain about
- Prices stay high for what it is
- Road noise on the highway
- Front-wheel drive only, so winter tires are a must
What should you check before buying a used Civic?
- 2016 to 2021, 1.5T: pull the dipstick. Oil that's overfull or smells of fuel points to oil dilution, which owners reported more often in cold climates.
- 2016 to 2021: make sure the A/C blows cold. A/C condenser failures were a common complaint on this generation.
- All years: test the CVT from a cold start for shudder or hesitation, read the full Carfax, and run the VIN through Transport Canada's recall database.
Those are the Civic-specific items. The general checks for any used car are in my pre-purchase inspection checklist, and before any money moves, run a lien check.

The Civic is the safest bet in its class. A 2019 to 2021 gives you the modern car with the full safety suite at a fair price. Pay for kilometres and condition, not trim.

How much is a used Honda Civic in Canada?
In October 2026 a used Honda Civic in Canada typically lists from about $8,500 for a 2013 to 2015 model to about $36,000 for a 2022 to 2025. The best value right now is a 2019 to 2021 car.
Which used Civic year is the best value?
A 2019 to 2021. You get the refreshed tenth generation with Honda Sensing standard, at a much lower price than the 2022 and newer car.
Is the Honda Civic 1.5 turbo reliable?
Generally yes. The main thing reported on 2016 to 2018 cars was oil dilution in cold climates, so check the oil level and service history before you buy.
Can you find a Honda Civic for me if I live outside BC?
Yes. The Car Finding Service covers the search, shortlist, inspection, negotiation and paperwork, and the car can be delivered anywhere in Canada. If you already found one, Remote Vehicle Verification sends an inspector to see it in person before you pay.
