Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
- Rating applies to 2022-25 models
Tested vehicle: 2022 Honda Civic 1.5T Touring 4-door
The Honda Civic was redesigned for the 2022 model year. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2022 Civic sedan conducted by Honda as part of frontal crash test verification. The ratings also apply to the 4-door hatchback version of the Civic, also redesigned for the 2022 model year.

The dummy’s head contacted the frontal airbag but nearly rolled off the right side, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward structure. Additionally, the seat belt allowed excessive forward excursion of the dummy’s head and torso. |

Side: updated test
Rating applies to 2025 models
Tested vehicle: 2025 Honda Civic Sport 4-door
The Honda Civic was redesigned for the 2022 model year. Beginning with 2025 models, Honda made improvements to the side structure to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes. Side 2.0 ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2025 Civic sedan conducted by Honda as part of side crash test verification. These ratings also apply to the 4-door hatchback version of the Civic.

Overall rating | |
Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination: |
Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good in all 4 tests.
The low beams created some glare.
High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on the right side of the road and fair on the left side. On curves, visibility was good in all 4 tests.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the gradual left curve.
