How many seats are in a Honda Civic?
In the current Honda Civic lineup, the car seats five passengers: two up front and a rear bench that accommodates three. This configuration applies to both the sedan and the hatchback body styles that Honda sells today.
As of model years around 2024 and 2025, there is no seven-seat option for the Civic, and while the seating capacity is five across the lineup, comfort and cargo practicality can vary by trim and body style. The following outlines the standard seating arrangement and how it translates to everyday use.
Current Civic seating
Key details about the standard seating layout in modern Civics:
- Five-passenger capacity (standard across sedan and hatchback).
- Front row consists of two seats; the rear has a bench suitable for three passengers.
- Rear seat typically folds with a 60/40 split to expand cargo space on most trims.
- No seven-seat option exists in the Civic lineup today.
In summary, the Civic’s seating remains five-passenger across its current sedan and hatchback models, with flexible cargo options provided by the fold-down rear bench.
Notes on variations by model year
While five seats are standard, there can be minor differences in rear-seat space and materials by trim, and historical models may have had slight variations in headroom. However, the official seating capacity in contemporary Civics is consistently five.
Summary
The Honda Civic seats five people—two in the front and three in the rear—across its current sedan and hatchback models (as of 2024–2025). There is no seven-seat Civic, and the rear bench typically folds 60/40 to aid cargo needs while preserving seating for three passengers. This arrangement makes the Civic a practical five-passenger compact car for daily driving and family use.
