In May 2010, a Honda executive stated that the ninth-generation Civic was to be delayed into 2011 because of changing market conditions and tougher fuel economy and emissions regulations.{{cite magazine|first=Mark | last = Rechtin |date=2010-05-17|title=Honda delays Civic redesign|url=http://www.autoweek.com/article/20100517/carnews/100519893|url-status=dead|magazine=Autoweek|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110321002503/http://www.autoweek.com/article/20100517/carnews/100519893|archive-date=2011-03-21|access-date=2011-01-18}} On 13 December 2010, Honda unveiled a sketch of the new ninth generation Civic which was described as "energetic, sleek and aerodynamic." Both coupe and sedan concepts for the North American market were shown in January 2011. The production version of the ninth-generation North American Civic based on the revealed concepts went on sale in April 2011.

For markets outside North America, the Civic sedan received an altered styling as it is the case with the eighth-generation Civic. The styling debuted in China in October 2011,{{cite web|last=Feijter|first=Tycho de|date=2011-10-30|title=New Honda Civic sedan listed & priced in China|url=https://carnewschina.com/2011/10/30/new-honda-civic-sedan-listed-priced-in-china/|access-date=2021-07-03|website=CarNewsChina.com|language=en-US}} featuring redesigned front end, headlight clusters, rear trunk panel, redesigned centre console, as well as updated seats.{{cite web|last=Tutu|first=Andrei|date=2012-06-05|title=Honda Civic Sedan European Version Launched|url=https://www.autoevolution.com/news/honda-civic-sedan-european-version-launched-photo-gallery-45810.html|access-date=2021-07-03|website=autoevolution|language=en}} It was also presented in Brazil in November 2011,{{cite web|last=Adrián|date=2011-11-30|title=Así es el Honda Civic 2012 que se presentó en Brasil|url=https://www.autodato.com/asi-es-el-honda-civic-2012-que-se-presento-en-brasil|access-date=2021-07-03|website=Autodato|language=es}} and Thailand in March 2012,{{cite web|title=Honda Civic 2012 อวดตัวจริงในงานมอเตอร์โชว์|url=https://www.sanook.com/auto/3646/|access-date=2021-07-03|website=www.sanook.com/auto|date=29 March 2012 |language=th}} while it was sold in Australia from March 2012,{{cite web|title=Honda Civic VTi-L, Sport, and Hybrid sedan 2012 review|url=https://www.carsguide.com.au/ev/honda-civic-vti-l-sport-and-hybrid-sedan-2012-review-82695|access-date=2021-07-03|website=CarsGuide|language=en}} and Europe in June 2012.

Honda CEO Takanobu Ito explained that the ninth-generation Civic was developed during the height of the global financial crisis, which led the company to believe that consumers would be willing to forego upscale content and quality in new vehicles as long as they were fuel efficient and affordable. The decision backfired, as rival automakers increased the quality and feature content of their compact vehicles around the same time, pushing sales of Civic rivals such as the Ford Focus and Hyundai Elantra to new heights in the US.{{cite web|first=Jake | last = Holmes|date=2011-11-30|title=Honda Admits Civic and Other Cars are "Boring," Plans Refreshed Models for 2013|url=https://www.motortrend.com/news/honda-admits-civic-and-other-cars-are-boring-plans-refreshed-models-for-2013-140651/|access-date=2013-01-15|publisher=Motor Trend}} Following negative response from journalists and decreasing sales figures, Ito took responsibility for the vehicle's abysmal performance in the US.{{cite news|title=Honda CEO takes responsibility for poor reception of redesigned Civic|url=https://www.autoblog.com/2011/12/02/honda-ceo-takes-responsibility-for-poor-reception-of-redesigned/|access-date=2021-07-03|website=Autoblog|language=en}}{{cite web|date=2011-11-30|title=Honda CEO Ito takes responsibility for Civic's U.S. troubles|url=https://www.autonews.com/article/20111130/OEM02/111139999/honda-ceo-ito-takes-responsibility-for-civic-s-u-s-troubles|access-date=2021-07-03|website=Automotive News|language=en}}

After the coupe and sedan prototype model for the North American market were showcased on 10 January 2011, at the North American International Auto Show, the production version went on sale on 20 April 2011, for the 2012 model year.{{cite web|url=http://automobiles.honda.com/2012-civic/|title=The 2012 Honda Civic|publisher=Honda}} Petrol, hybrid and natural gas variants were offered. The petrol-engine lineup included a sedan and coupe. Both of them were also offered in Si performance versions.

Petrol (DX, LX, EX and EX-L), hybrid and natural gas variants were offered. The non-hybrid petrol-engined lineup included a sedan and coupe, and Si (sport injected) performance versions were available as coupe and sedan.

Honda also released the Civic HF sedan, a model with aerodynamic and fuel efficiency enhancements which revived the "HF" moniker last used for the 1991 CRX HF.{{cite web|last=Andrew Wendler|date=2013-05-24|title=2013 Honda Civic HF|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15114370/2013-honda-civic-hf-sedan-test-review|access-date=2021-07-14|website=Car and Driver|language=en-US}} It featured a Honda R18 1.8 L inline-four engine and a 5-speed automatic transmission like the regular gas-powered models, but was tuned so that it returned {{convert|41|mpgus|L/100km km/L|1|abbr=on}}. It came with 15-inch alloy wheels with low rolling-resistance tires that reduce rolling resistance by 20%, additional underbody covers, a rear decklid spoiler and keyless entry with a security alarm. This resulted in a 4% improvement in aerodynamic performance. The Civic GX NGV (Natural Gas Vehicle) has been available since late 2011.

The "two-tier" instrument panel from the previous generation saw a significant redesign. All models (except for the base model DX) come with an Intelligent Multi-Informational Display (iMID), situated on the enlarged upper tier and to the right of the digital speedometer. The 5-inch colour LCD screen replaces the trip computer below the analog tachometer on the lower tier while integrating information of the vehicle with that from compatible personal electronics and steering wheel controls. It displays information such as current odometer and trip mileage, time and date, fuel economy, audio system, climate control information, and more. The Maintenance Minder now includes interval reminders for scheduled maintenance, such as air filter, cabin pollen filter, tire rotations, drive belt inspections as well as an oil change reminder.

Honda's Eco Assist technology, introduced earlier on the Insight, is added to most models (except Si), and becomes the first petrol-only powered Honda to employ such technology in North America. It is an information system to help the driver adopt a more fuel-efficient driving style,{{cite web|url=http://www.greencarcongress.com/2011/01/civic-20110112.html |title=Honda Civic Si Concept coupe and Civic Concept sedan debut at NAIAS; hybrid and natural gas variants |date=2011-01-12 |publisher=Green Car Congress}} and is proven to improve fuel economy by about 10% for Honda's hybrid vehicles in Japan{{cite web|url=http://www.greencarcongress.com/2010/02/honda-study-finds-insights-eco-assist-system-results-in-average-10-improvement-in-fuel-economy-after.html |title=Honda Study Finds Insight's Eco Assist System Results in Average 10% Improvement in Fuel Economy After 300 Drives, Up to 20% Max |date=2010-02-12 |publisher=Green Car Congress}} by providing visual feedback to promote or confirm efficient driving.

All Civic models have better fuel economy in the U.S. EPA ratings, by as much as 8% on the highway for models with an automatic transmission compared to 2011 versions.{{cite web|title=Fuel economy the focus for Honda Civic engineers|url=http://ev.sae.org/article/10194 |first=Ryan | last = Gehm |publisher=SAE International}} Two versions achieve {{convert|41|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} (17.54 km/L) or above in U.S. government testing. Aerodynamics and weight reduction play important role in fuel economy improvement: aero parts are placed under the engine bay, fuel tank, and the rear underbody to enhance airflow; front spoiler and strakes ahead of tires direct airflow around the wheel wells; there is a new flat underfloor; resulting in 3.4% lower coefficient of drag. Increase use of high-strength steel to 55% on the sedan (56% for the coupe) from 50% contributes to a 7% reduction in body weight. The electric power steering system is lighter by 1.3 kg (2.9 lb); the front subframe is lighter by 1.7 kg (3.7 lb); a thinner-walled fuel tank saves 1.0 kg (2.2 lb) and a laser-welded exhaust silencer that is 0.5 kg (1.1 lb) lighter. As a result, the LX trim with an automatic transmission is almost 50 lb (23 kg) lighter.

On the other hand, for the 2012 sedan, passenger volume is increased by 3.8 ft³ (108 L) to 94.7 ft³ (2682 L), with three more inches of elbowroom in the front and about two more inches of legroom in the back. The piston assembly was the source of the most significant losses in an engine. To reduce friction loss in the engine, pistons in the 1.8 litre engine have a molybdenum treatment applied in a polka-dot pattern.{{cite news|last=Stenquist|first=Paul|title=Rubbing Out Friction in the Push for Mileage|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/16/automobiles/rubbing-out-friction-in-the-push-for-mileage.html?pagewanted=all|newspaper=The New York Times|date=16 October 2011}}

A HF model, the most fuel-efficient petrol-only powered Civic in the lineup, gets {{convert|41|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} (17.54 km/L) under EPA highway test cycle, compares with {{convert|36|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} (15.38 km/L) for previous generation, increasing the combined fuel economy rating to {{convert|33|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} (14.08 km/L).{{cite news|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-02-17/honda-plans-41-mpg-civic-hf-to-regain-small-car-efficiency-lead.html |title=Honda Plans 41-MPG Civic HF to Regain Small Car Efficiency Lead |date=2011-02-17 |first=Alan | last = Ohnsman |publisher=Bloomberg }}

The Civic hybrid, with a larger 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine that produces 90 hp and 97 lb ft of torque{{cite web|last=Sutton|first=Mike|title=2012 Honda Civic Hybrid - Instrumented Test|date=29 November 2011|url=http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2012-honda-civic-hybrid-road-test-review|publisher=Car and Driver (Nov 2011 issue)}} and a lithium-ion battery, is rated at {{convert|44|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} in combined city and highway EPA test cycle, an improvement of {{convert|3|mpgus|mpgimp|abbr=on}} over the previous generation hybrid.{{cite news|url=http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=31189 |title=Civic Fuel Economy Figures |date=2011-05-24}} A new stronger electric motor produces 23 hp and 78 lb ft of torque. The new lithium-ion battery is lighter and more powerful compared with the nickel-metal hydride one in previous model. Both the Civic HF and Civic Hybrid models have improved aerodynamics.

Other petrol-only powered Civic sedans and coupes get {{convert|39|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} in highway tests, an improvement of {{convert|3|mpgus|mpgimp|abbr=on}} over previous generation, and {{convert|28|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}} for city driving. The Civic GX natural gas model will have a 7% improvement in fuel economy. The above models are also equipped with the Honda ECO Assist technology.

The ninth-generation Civic Si was available as a coupe and as a sedan. It is powered by a new 2.4-litre K-Series (K24Z7) inline-four engine which has increased displacement through longer piston stroke than the K20Z3 from the eighth generation Civic Si, yet the K24Z7 retains the 11.0:1 compression used in the K20Z3. It produces {{Convert|201|hp|kW|abbr=on}} and {{convert|170|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque. Honda retuned the exhaust system in early 2014, increasing the output to {{Convert|205|hp|kW|abbr=on}} and {{convert|174|lbft|Nm|abbr=on|0}} of torque.{{cite web|url=http://www.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=7641-en|title=2014 Civic Si Ups the Ante with More Power, Higher Tech and Sportier Coupe Styling|publisher=Honda}}

The redline of the K24Z7 is 7,000 rpm with a fuel cut at 7,200 rpm. A 6-speed manual transmission with a helical LSD (Limited Slip Differential) was offered as the only available transmission option for the Civic Si.{{cite web|url=http://automobiles.honda.com/civic-sedan#build-price-app|title=Build Your Civic|publisher=American Honda Motor Co}} The wing spoilers are different from the 8th generation, and the interior of the car received slight updates with the addition of a rev limit indicator and a power meter displayed in the new i-MID (intelligent Multi-Information Display). Sway bars have been changed to F18mm/R15mm from the F28mm/R17mm in eighth generation. The chassis is also more rigid, and the curb weight is slightly lower than the eighth generation. The Civic Si achieves an EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of {{convert|31|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|abbr=on}}, an increase of {{convert|2|mpgus|mpgimp|abbr=on}}.{{cite web|url=http://www.greencarcongress.com/2011/02/honda-20110218.html#more |title=New 2012 Honda Civic lineup boosts fuel economy in all models; Hybrid and HF offer 40+ mpg |date=2011-02-18 |publisher=Green Car Congress }}

Reviews of the 2012 Civic were generally lackluster, with many reviewers citing as drawbacks the car's cheap interior materials, along with worsened driving dynamics and insubstantial exterior styling changes from the previous generation. Consumer Reports went so far as to remove the 2012 Civic from its 'Recommended' list of compact cars, which the vehicle had been on for many years.{{cite web |url=http://news.consumerreports.org/cars/2011/08/2012-honda-civic-lx-scores-too-low-for-consumer-reports-to-recommend.html |title=2012 Honda Civic LX: Scores too low for Consumer Reports to recommend |date=2011-08-01 |publisher=Consumer Reports |access-date=2013-01-15 |archive-date=28 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130128115058/http://news.consumerreports.org/cars/2011/08/2012-honda-civic-lx-scores-too-low-for-consumer-reports-to-recommend.html |url-status=dead }} In addition to Consumer Reviews, Edmunds reported issues with excessive wind noise, cheap interior plastics, and a small trunk.{{cite web|url=https://www.edmunds.com/honda/civic/2012/ |title=2012 Honda Civic |date=2011-09-03 |publisher=Edmunds |access-date=2014-02-04}}

In response to the criticisms, Honda quickly introduced a heavily revamped Civic for the next model year, promising improved styling, driving dynamics, interior quality, standard features, sound insulation, and ride quality.{{cite news|url=https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1067974_honda-okay-we-know-you-hate-the-new-civic-so-well-redesign-it|title = Honda: Okay, We Know You Hate the New Civic, So We'll Redesign It| newspaper=Green Car Reports }} The refreshed 2013 Civic sedan featured a new front fascia with a U-shaped honeycomb grille and chrome accents (replacing the 2012 model's three-bar grille), a redesigned hood and a reworked rear end with new taillight lenses, along with additional light clusters and a chrome bar on the trunk lid.

Basic look and proportions of previous car are retained as the futuristic design was welcomed by customers. Aerodynamics, rear and side visibility were improved. It was claimed to be the most aerodynamic car in its class, with a coefficient of drag of 0.27. The wheelbase is {{convert|30|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} shorter without a decrease of interior space. Retaining the compact torsion beam rear suspension and the centrally mounted fuel tank help contribute to a boot capacity of 470 litres.{{cite web|title=Honda Civic Hatch: Launch Review|url=https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/honda-civic-hatch-launch-review-30270/|access-date=2021-07-05|website=www.carsales.com.au}} The rear beam axle is completely redesigned for higher stiffness, and new fluid-filled bushing is used to improve stability and cornering ability, as well as ride quality. More than 20,000 miles of testing was carried out on British roads to ensure better handling and ride quality. There are more standard equipment and higher interior quality.
