Toronto, Ontario — Being essentially the Tom Hanks of cars, the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada has named the 2022 Honda Civic the best small car of the year for the ninth time since 1992.
“We continue to be humbled and excited at the attention and accolades the 2022 Honda Civic is receiving and we want to thank all of our associates at Honda of Canada Mfg. for helping to make this award a reality,” said Steve Hui, assistant v-p of Honda Canada.
“This is a vehicle that has deep roots in Canada, as it is built locally and has been incredibly popular since its inception. We could not be prouder of this latest Civic achievement.”
This announcement comes hot off the Civic’s North American Car of the Year Award and a IIHS Top Safety Pick + Rating.
Honda is expected to unveil the 2022 Honda Civic Type R later this year, a model that the automaker is saying will be its highest performing Type R ever.
