Honda Civic's History
In celebration of the Honda Civic's 50-year anniversary, we want to take a look back on this sedan's history, and celebrate some of its landmark moments! The Civic was first introduced in Japan in 1972, before quickly making its way to the states in time for the 1973 model year. Ever since then, the Civic has seen 11 different generations, with new improvements joining the lineup every year. Over the course of those 11 generations, there have been five different body styles, including both hatchbacks and sedans in two, three, four, and five-door layouts. The Civic has also earned several accolades over the years, including the third best-selling car in the United States, with over 12.3 million sold over the past five decades!

Honda is continuing to innovate on this classic sedan, which is still offered in both classic sedan and hatchback configurations. The newest updates for the Civic include adding the new Type R model, set to be the most powerful Civic to date.
