About the 2026 Honda Civic
11th generation (2022-present), second model year after the 2025 mid-cycle update
Honda positions the Civic as a practical compact car that is also enjoyable to drive. Its core strengths are a roomy, easy-to-use cabin, efficient gas and hybrid powertrains, sedan or hatchback utility, and standard driver assistance. The range stretches from straightforward daily transportation to premium hybrid and manual-transmission performance versions without losing the Civic’s emphasis on efficiency and everyday usability.
The LX is the practical starting point, with a 150-hp gas engine, a 7-inch touchscreen, and Honda’s driver-assistance suite. Sport models add an athletic look and more convenience features, while the 200-hp Sport Touring Hybrid brings leather-trimmed seats, larger displays, wireless phone integration, and Bose audio. The 200-hp Si remains the driver-focused version, pairing a turbo engine with a six-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential for better cornering grip, and a sport-tuned suspension.
