2025 Honda Civic: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Honda Civic is the return of hybrid power, offered in both sedan and hatchback form. This is a meaningful mid-cycle update that also brings refreshed styling, revised gas engines, updated tech, and a reorganized trim lineup.
About the 2025 Honda Civic
11th generation (2022-present), mid-cycle refresh for 2025.
Honda positions the Civic as the compact car that does everyday duty without feeling dull. Across sedan and hatchback forms, it blends strong fuel economy, roomy packaging, easy-to-use tech, and a more engaging driving feel than many rivals. The 2025 lineup broadens that identity further: the LX covers basic commuter needs, Sport adds a sharper look, the hybrids add real efficiency and stronger punch, and the Si serves drivers who want a manual sport sedan without giving up daily usability.
The 2025 Civic ranges from the straightforward LX to the sharper-looking Sport, while the Sport Touring Hybrid serves as the top mainstream version with leather seats, a 9-inch touchscreen, Google built-in, and Bose audio. The Si remains the enthusiast sedan, pairing a 200-hp turbo engine with a 6-speed manual transmission and a sport-tuned suspension. Hybrid Sport and Sport Touring models combine a 200-hp two-motor system with sedan or hatchback practicality.
