The Honda Civic is the enthusiast's default in the UAE small-sedan market, and used it is bought as much for how it drives as for what it costs to run. We have 2 listed.
How much does a used Honda Civic cost in the UAE?
In our closed sales a 2020 averaged AED 44,000, a 2019 AED 37,000 and a 2017 AED 29,000. Live asking prices run from AED 14,900 for a late-2010s car up to AED 134,000 for a current-year one.
Which used Honda Civic year should you buy?
2016 is the generation line. That year brought a completely new platform and a dramatically bigger, lower car with a modern interior and turbocharged engine options in some specifications — the jump from the previous shape is one of the largest in the model's history. The nameplate was redesigned again in the early 2020s with a cleaner cabin and better materials. A 2017 to 2020 car is where the value sits.
Is a used Honda Civic reliable in the UAE?
The electrics are the good news: CarSwitch has inspected more than 650 Honda Civics in the UAE, and only 7% show an electrical or electronics fault, against the 14% we would expect for sedans of the same age and mileage here. Body repair is another matter at 82%, but so is the whole segment — the Nissan Sunny runs at 85% and the Toyota Corolla at 82%. These are cars driven hard in traffic, and a repair history is a history rather than a fault. Mechanically 27% show an engine, gearbox, suspension or steering fault against 22% expected for the class, so a cold start and a proper test drive matter.
Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla?
The Corolla costs similar money and is the safer, duller choice with an identical bodywork profile — pick it if you plan to keep the car a long time. The Honda City is the cheaper Honda and comes through inspection tidier at 70% against 56% expected for its own age and mileage group. Buy the Civic for the chassis.
