Overview

The current-generation Honda Civic ranks as one of the automaker's best, with an expert combination of practicality, performance and value. Today's 2025 Honda Civic offers almost everything you could want in a compact sedan or hatchback. There's plenty of interior room and cargo space, a generous complement of in-car tech and driver assist features, and a range of power and performance options. There's also a big change for the 2025 Civic worth knowing about: a new hybrid version.

Edmunds spotlight: What to know about the new Civic hybrid

For 2025, the Civic gets a new hybrid powertrain. It matches the Si's horsepower (200 hp) but makes 20% more low-end torque. Sure, the Si comes with more performance hardware — sport suspension, larger brakes, manual transmission — but we imagine the hybrid will likely be able to match it in a straight line. On top of that the hybrid gets an estimated 49 mpg in combined driving. The only downside is that Honda has discontinued the previously available (and desirable) 180-hp turbocharged engine as part of the hybrid introduction. Other changes for 2025 include mild styling revisions and a new infotainment system that integrates some Google-based services, including a voice assistant that can adjust various car settings.

Competitors to consider

The 2025 Honda Civic sets a benchmark for the compact class, but it's worth checking out the alternatives. The Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Corolla both offer good value, along with high-performance versions that rival the Si and Type R. The Mazda 3 punches above its weight with refined interior and crisp handling, while the Kia Forte is an all-around good pick that's easy on the wallet. Be sure to read our Expert Rating below for a deeper dive into the Civic's performance, comfort and more.

What’s it like to live with?

Our test team lived with a Civic Si for a year to learn more about how this sporty Civic works out in daily driving. While it was a test of a 2022 model, many of our observations are still applicable to the Civic as a whole. Read our Civic Si long-term test for more.

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the Civic drive? We tested the Civic with its available hybrid powertrain. Its power output is ample. At our test track, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.6 seconds. That's significantly quicker than most other small sedans as well as other hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius. It's quicker than the sporty Civic Si too. Just know that a Civic with the base engine is considerably less spritely.

The Civic is also smooth to drive around town and is enjoyable to drive around corners thanks to its sharp steering, composed handling and overall easygoing demeanor. Our test team agrees: This is such a pleasant little hybrid. We can't think of another near 50-mpg car that's this rewarding to drive.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Civic? The Civic's hybrid system makes it a little heavier than the base Civic. While the added weight might seem like a detriment, it actually helps to stabilize and smooth out this sedan's ride quality. On smooth and broken roads alike, the Civic has a taut yet balanced composure. It's not as cushy as some competitors, but the upside here is sharper handling than just about anything in the class.

Road noise is noticeable but not excessively so, and the Civic's aerodynamic shape means wind noise is kept to a minimum. Overall, the Civic really feels like a cut above other small cars in on-road refinement.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The Civic has an attractive cabin design. The controls are within easy reach and intuitive to use. It's also roomy — the front can comfortably seat taller and shorter passengers equally well. While there's plenty of rear shoulder room and legroom, the sloping roof means taller passengers may find headroom lacking. Otherwise, you won't have much trouble with space in the Civic.

Outward visibility is aided by narrow front roof pillars and sideview mirrors that are mounted on the doors, freeing up your view out front. The sloping roofline causes you to double-check over-the-shoulder views, and the back window is a bit short, but the multi-angle rearview camera helps you spot anything that might be behind you.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? All the tech inside the Civic is simple and straightforward. The touchscreen interface has a logical menu structure that makes it easy to use while driving. All Civics come standard with a full suite of driver assistance technologies. We've found Honda's adaptive cruise control isn't as smooth for braking and accelerating as the systems offered by other companies — specifically, Toyota — but overall the Civic's driver aids are helpful.

The Civic's available 9-inch touchscreen includes the Google built-in software suite, which brings Google Assistant voice commands, maps and more. It's a nice setup but unfortunately Honda only equips it on the most expensive Civic trim levels. Likewise, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all Civics, only the 9-inch screen includes wireless phone connectivity.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The Civic sedan has 14.8 cubic feet of trunk space, and the hybrid's battery and electric motors don't impede on that one bit. That means the hybrid version of the Civic can hold more stuff than hybrid versions of the Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Corolla. Small-item storage is good, too, thanks to the large armrest with a removable tray.

If cargo hauling is a top priority, Honda also offers its hybrid powertrain in the Civic hatchback. Here, you get 24.5 cubic feet of space, which is more than what Toyota offers in the Prius. The Civic's rear seats also fold flat to accommodate larger or longer items.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the hybrid version of Civic can get up to 49 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That's a little less than what the Toyota Prius and Hyundai Elantra Hybrid get. But these are still impressive numbers and ones that are easy to hit. We also 49 mpg in our real-world testing. The base Civic is also pretty fuel-efficient with an EPA estimate of up to 36 mpg.

Value

8/10

Is the Civic a good value? The Honda Civic costs a little more than rivals such as the Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Corolla, but it justifies the added cost with better performance, laudable fuel economy, a few more features and a nicer interior. Honda's warranty coverage is average and includes three years/36,000 miles of basic coverage and five years/60,000 miles for the powertrain.

Wildcard

9/10

The Honda Civic shines as a daily driver but won't bore you from behind the wheel. This is especially true of the Civic with the hybrid powertrain. Other than the Type R, it's the most fun-to-drive Civic thanks to its quick acceleration and precise steering. And you won't have to go super easy on the throttle to eke out good fuel economy. Without changing your driving style, you should get nearly 50 mpg, easy-peasy.

Which Civic does Edmunds recommend?

The Sport trim will satisfy most shoppers. But we think it's worth the stretch to the new Sport Hybrid. Not only does it add a few more desirable features, such as a sunroof and heated seats, it comes with the punchy hybrid engine that makes 200 horsepower and gets close to 50 mpg. You might flinch at its price — and we wouldn't blame you — but we think it's ultimately the best value in the Civic lineup.

2024 Honda Civic Sport 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

2024 civic sedan. Nice looks, good gas mileage 34-35 around town. Wider tires hug the road. Stereo system is ok, android auto works as it should. Seats are AWFUL. Not enough padding. No matter what I can't get comfortable. Had to buy a wheelchair cushion to get some comfort. Visibility is good, but rear window is pretty shallow. Rear view mirror too small. Bought aftermarket …

2nd update- things take a turn for the worse

J. Clouseau, 12/03/2023

2024 Honda Civic Touring 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

This was a decision I agonized over. I am a city dweller who had been for several years without a car. I realized the days of the $399 a month lease deal on a BMW are over and made the decision that for the first time in my life I would buy a car outright, with cash. My list included the Civic, Accord, Jetta, Mazda3, Acura Integra, Audi A3, and BMW 3 series, and Tesla Model 3. Range … anxiety and not having the luxury of my own garage to charge at home discouraged me from the Tesla. Ultimately it came down to getting a basic luxury sedan like the A3 or 3 series or something more pedestrian and saving like 10 grand. The Civic Touring just seemed to have the most of everything for the advertised price: a generally good reputation for reliability, good resale value, a good sound system (12 speaker Bose), and a very reasonable amount of tech for the money. The dealer sold me the car at MSRP. I've owned it a month now and so far I love it. The black exterior is a surprisingly rich-looking and impressive black. It's metallic but almost looks like jet black. Most metallic blacks seem more like graphite to me so I am really very happy about this. The rims that come with the touring model are also very classy and have already received compliments. Despite the lack of lumbar support, I find the seats comfortable. Visibility in all directions is solid. That may not be the case with the hatchback. I believe the car is advertised to get around 33 mpg but so far my average is 29.5 mpg with (mostly) highway driving. I understand the car needs to be driven a bit more to hit the advertised mileage so I will monitor it to see if it improves with the blessing of time. I think the sedan looks better than the hatchback, but that of course is subjective. If you are stuck between say the EX trim and the Touring trim, I say the sound system alone makes the Touring worth it. And the rims just make the car look more expensive as well. To be honest while I looked at the Integra myself, I really do not know why anyone would consider it over the Civic Touring unless they really want a manual transmission or something. The base Integra just seems like a lame duck with a worse sound system than my Civic and only 20 more horsepower, and to pay like 6 grand more for the A-spec with the tech package seems even crazier. But to each his own! Now for some nuances: I haven't figured out how to get turn by turn navigation to display above me on the steering wheel. It seemed to do it once randomly but not anymore. It's probably some setting I have to activate or button to push. Also, I've noticed the high beams will sometimes come on seemingly randomly when I'm driving at night. I would prefer if they didn't do this. Again, probably a setting that has to be turned off. Finally with regard to the engine and transmission, I certainly find the 1.5t adequate with even power to spare. Obviously it won't give you the same thrill as a BMW 330i but nobody should have that expectation. I find the CVT unobtrusive. Overall, I hope I continue to be satisfied with the 2024 Civic Touring. I will update this review in a yr or so! 6-7-2024: Seems like a good time to post some updates. I've driven around 3,500 miles now, which is a bit less than I hoped. Somewhat concerningly, my avg MPG is 29.9...this is less than the minimum I should be getting in the city (31 mpg) and I am a conservative driver. If I don't see improvement by say 5K I may start to wonder. Every MPG counts, and many previous cars I have driven met or even exceeded their published MPG. On the positive front, everything I previously mentioned I enjoyed about the car I continue to enjoy. The 1.5t and CVT work incredibly well together-CVT's truly have come a long way. The power delivery is excellent. There has been some criticism of the upper trims. I do not agree that they feel cheap or at least have seen no evidence of it. Having prior experience with German cars I'm amazed at how refined this vehicle feels. The ride can be bumpier than say a BMW or Lexus over choppy roads, and there is a bit more road noise at highway speeds but it's like comparing a B+ student to a perfect A student. It doesn't bother me much and I doubt it will bother most people. Other things...the auto high beam feature can indeed be disabled. It would be nice if the car had seat memory, and rear ac vents wouldn't hurt either (for what it's worth, the Integra doesn't have rear vents either which makes that vehicle even more of a waste!). If you're still reading, some other great aspects of the Civic are the simplicity of the controls. Everything is logically laid out and exactly where it should be. You still have physical climate controls (many Volkswagens, BMWs have removed these- I just think of a situation where I'm merging onto a highway, my window is fogging up, and I'm fumbling through a menu on a screen trying to turn on the defroster). Oh and you still have a traditional gear shifter- no silly button shifter, column shifter or anything that would make you wonder what on Earth were they thinking?? Well, I think I have covered everything! I continue to believe the Honda Civic Touring is a great car that provides excellent overall value. But MPG is something I will have to watch closely!! 3.2.25- I now have roughly 6,000 miles on the vehicle. Unfortunately, a couple of surprising things have occurred that have compelled me to post a second update, and also reduce my star rating from 5 to 3 stars. I was debating whether this might be too harsh-I suppose if 3.5 stars were possible, that's where I'd be. But I'm honestly fine with the two star reduction. First, MPG: I've seen no improvement. In fact my average has gone down from around 29.5 to 27.5 mpg. That is just not good enough and again, is far below what Honda claims the car is capable of. EVERY other car I have had, without fail, has met or exceeded its range. Why should this Honda be the exception? Another point I think is relevant here is I've come to find out that the Civic has a 12.4 gallon fuel tank capacity. That is small relative to most vehicles on the market. Bottom line: for a car for which fuel efficiency is a selling point, I'm thinking about fuel too often! The next issue I had was honestly kind of odd. I was on a three hour trip and stopped to have lunch. To my surprise, when I opened my driver side door I noticed that this piece of molding or weather stripping right at the very top of the door above the window had come loose and was kind of sticking out awkwardly! I have NEVER experienced something like that in any car, let alone a new car. I immediately drove to the nearest Honda dealer I could locate. They apologetic but admitted that they had seen this many times, and basically just used their hands to put it back in place. It hasn't come apart again since then and I certainly hope it doesn't. Another complaint is with the wireless phone charger. The few times I attempted to use it, it was basically worthless. The phone has to be in a very specific position for it to do anything. I rented a Cadillac CT5 not long ago that honestly felt as luxurious as my Honda but let me tell you, the wireless charger worked like a charm. No issues whatsoever! Next, the sensors. They are too sensitive, particularly the forward collision warnings. More than once the car has beeped and the "brake immediately" alert appeared when there was no perceptible obstacle or danger. Would say more if not for limit!

Good room on back seats but no extras there. ( Sport trim) pretty good excelleration, & brakes nicely. Stereo system is adequate. BUT, I hate that stop/start feature. Should be a way to turn off permanently. …

Everything’s great on this thing. Would like to have had some more creature comforts in the car but comparing other vehicle prices, you can’t beat it in our current economy. Don’t buy a used car the same price as a new car, especially if you’re gunna load it up with so many miles. I got the silver color, not sure what the correct name of the color is, with black, sporty 18” wheels …
