Parkers test all the newest cars on the market and provide reviews and information to support the public with their car purchasing experience.
Rebecca Adamson, Head of Automobile at Honda UK commented “We are delighted that the team at Parkers have recognised the merits of the all-new Civic e:HEV. The team at Honda have worked tirelessly to deliver a sleek and sporty design focused on driving dynamics and functionality. To win the overall Car of the Year 2023 award is a huge accolade and proves that this car, in its eleventh generation, after 50 years on sale, is just as popular as ever.”
Keith Adams, Editor at Parkers, commented “Taking the top honours in the Parkers New Car Awards 2023 is a remarkable achievement for a fuel-sipping family hatchback in an increasingly electrified world. It's a reflection of just how effective the Japanese firm's excellent hybrid drivetrain is, proving you don't need to plug in to get great efficiency and low running costs. In short, the Honda Civic is an outstanding Parkers Car of The Year – and we think you’ll agree, too.”
As well as the Civic e:HEV claiming the top spot as Car of the Year against some very tough competition, it was also awarded the ‘Best Medium Family Car’. The winners are selected based on their fitness for purpose and in this category, the Civic e:HEV was chosen for having plenty of interior space to comfortably carry four people, excellent access, the latest safety technology, low running costs and offering an enjoyable drive.
