Since its introduction in the early-1970s, the Civic has achieved amazing sales within the subcompact and then compact car classes. It has also been the platform for many off-shoots including the CRX, Prelude and CR-V lines
Clarity
Starting life as a hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered car, the Clarity was eventually expanded to be available as a hybrid or gasoline-driven in 2017. This helped broaden its appeal and the Civic-based model increased in sales
