The Honda Civic is approaching 25 million units

The icon of the Honda, one of the benchmarks of compact cars and a unique model, is about to reach 25 million units produced. The Honda Civic has plenty to celebrate.

Few vehicles can boast of staying in shape more than 45 years after reaching the market. But the Honda Civic is different in every way, and it is about to celebrate a very special number: 25 million units produced. A long journey through 10 generations that has made it the second best-selling model in the history of the automotive market.

10 generations of the Honda Civic

Since it arrived on the international market on July 12, 1972, the Honda Civic has established itself as one of the benchmarks in its segment. That first model already broke the rules of the game and bet on a compact design with a transverse engine and front-wheel drive.

It was an all-or-nothing bet that the Honda engineers made after travelling the entire world to understand customers’ needs. This is how they shaped an “economical passenger car that could become a central part of people’s lives”. And, having taken the risk, success came.

That first Honda Civic earned the recognition of specialists and gained great acceptance from the public. It was named ‘Car of the Year’ in Europe, Japan and the United States, and one of the most beautiful stories in the sector began. If in 1995 it reached 10 million units, it is now about to reach 25 million. Becoming the second best-selling car in history and accounting for 25% of all automobiles manufactured by Honda.

Reliability above all

The success of the Honda Civic would not be understood without the aura of reliability that a unique model exudes. Constant technological innovation and its unmistakable design features have made it an unrivalled car. But what makes it most different is the well-known reliability of its engines.

Indeed, in addition to developing some of the best diesel engines in history in terms of efficiency and consumption, many earlier-generation Honda Civics still run flawlessly after many years. It has always been among the most highly rated cars in the most prestigious reliability reports, and that is one of the keys to the past, present and future success of a model that is unique in its kind. Congratulations, Honda Civic!!
