You Can't Get a Honda Civic Under $25,000 Anymore
Honda has dropped the base LX trim for 2023, raising the entry price to the Civic by over $2,000.
Let’s face it. Everyone is raising prices. There are still
supply constraints and
inflation. Unfortunately, that also means that things that were once cheap aren’t cheap anymore. Take basic modes of transportation. Cars like the
Toyota Corolla and
Nissan Sentra aren’t as basic as they once were. Some were still somewhat cheap, but automakers are slowly
getting rid of basic small cars, either by eliminating them entirely or getting rid of base models. Honda has become one of those automakers ,as the brand has eliminated the base Civic LX on both the sedan and hatch for 2023.
Honda
killed the Fit in the U.S. That means anyone wanting a small Honda that isn’t a crossover is left with the Civic. And anyone that didn’t want all the bells and whistles of tech or leather seats could pick up a basic Honda Civic LX and be content and happy that they had an affordable and reliable small car. And affordable it was. A 2022 Honda Civic LX had an MSRP of $22,550. But both Honda and its dealers want to make more money, and selling base models with no options isn’t a way to do that. So for 2023, the LX is gone. This means a Honda Civic cant be had for under $25,000 anymore.
