Just in time for the resurging interest in hybrid motoring, the Honda Civic Hybrid is back. Absent for a decade, the 2025 Civic Hybrid joins the lineup amidst an 11th-gen mid-cycle refresh.

To be fair, the overall Civic refresh is pretty mild with updated lighting and a revised front fascia. The big changes to this front-driver are all under the hood. Last year’s 1.5-liter turbo is no more. All non-hybrid sedans and hatchbacks, that means LX and Sport trims, are now powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter I4 rated at 150 horsepower, paired up with a CVT.

The new hybrid powertrain is standard in the aptly named Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid grades. Two electric motors work with an eCVT for a total output of 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque. Even more impressive is the Honda-estimated 50-city, 47-highway and 49-combined mpg rating. So, you’ll save some fuel and have some fun gripping the wheel, as we did in Montreal, Canada.

“The powertrain in this hybrid is so good. The additional power, the additional torque makes this so much nicer to drive on the daily.Everything comes together so well in this vehicle from the suspension, because in this Sport Touring Hybrid, it’s really soft and incredibly comfortable for a vehicle at this price point, which is just over $30,000. So really impressive there.”

The non-hybrid 2025 Honda Civic has a starting price of about $25,000. Built in Honda’s plant in Alliston, Ontario, and arriving at dealers now, the revised Honda Civic lineup continues to offer solid solutions for value and fuel conscious consumers.
