The 2022 Honda Civic stole many hearts with its interior and exterior design when it was released. We were surprised after we tested the 2022 Honda Civic MPG for the sedan variant at how much of an overachiever it was compared to its EPA fuel economy rating. Will the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback MPG yield similar results? Watch our test below to find out or you can do things my way and read on!
The new 2022 Honda Civic isn’t so different from the last generation in powertrain options. It’s actually less powerful in some trim options, but it does have more achievable low-end torque. You can either opt for a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 or a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated inline-4 to power you through your day. Hook those up to a CVT automatic or a manual transmission(save the manuals!) if you’re feeling like you want to have complete control with fixed gear ratios rather than a constant drone as you accelerate; our test car came equipped with the 1.5-liter CVT option under the hood of this luxuriously appointed Sport Touring trim of the hatchback bodystyle.
After our test of the 2022 Honda Civic hatchback gas mileage, we found the hatchback’s final result to come to 39 miles per gallon! Considering the EPA fuel economy rating for our test car to be 37 MPG, we’re listing this as an overachiever, though if you’re looking for a few more miles per gallon you should consider the sedan. Based on the 2022 Honda Civic hatchback MPG result we found during our testing, this compact hatch will travel 480 miles between fill-ups if you don’t suffer from range anxiety and chicken out.

How We Test the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback Gas Mileage:
Daily Motor‘s real-world highway fuel economy test of the 2022 Honda Civic hatchback MPG this time consists of over 50 miles of consistent highway driving. We fill this hatchback using the “three-click method,” meaning running the gas pump on super fast flow until it clicks, waiting ten seconds, running low flow until it clicks again, waiting another ten seconds, then running low flow one last time. The lowest octane fuel accepted by the vehicle’s manufacturer is used. We then drive 25 miles on public highway in one direction and then back in the opposite direction, attempting not to draft or drive aggressively. We set the cruise control at GPS-indicated 73 MPH in an attempt to achieve a moving average speed of 70 MPH over the entire test. Upon return to the gas station, we refill at the same gas pump as the initial fill using the same method. Miles per gallon is determined by dividing total miles traveled by fuel consumed. In cases where our observed figure differs greatly from the vehicle’s indicated figure and/or EPA’s estimate, we may recommend a number in between or plan to retest the vehicle.
