Overall Observations
For 2025, the Honda Civic gets a refreshed grille and front-end styling, updated infotainment software, and—wait for it—a hybrid powertrain, the first Civic hybrid in the U.S. in a decade. Spoiler alert: It’s a pretty cool addition to the Civic lineup.
Apart from the high-performance Si and Type R, Civics are available in 4 trim levels, the top 2 of which are hybrids. We tested the high-end Sport Touring trim.
The Civic Hybrid drivetrain consists of a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and 2 electric motors (200 hp), which deliver quick acceleration off the line and good power overall. The Civic Hybrid has a comfortable ride as well, with decent steering feedback and tight handling around corners—it’s a fun, easy-to-drive car. Fit and finish are excellent inside and out. And let’s not forget the icing on the cake: an EPA-estimated 49 mpg in combined city/highway driving.
The Civic Hybrid’s interior is spacious, with standard heated front seats and easy-to-use controls. And, thankfully, Honda doesn’t make you add stand-alone options and packages to get the features you want—you just move to the next higher trim level.
Our fully loaded test car came with standard leather upholstery, sunroof, 9-inch infotainment touch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity, power-adjustable front seats, a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system, and more—a great value at just under $33,000.
