However, with modest power and fewer features on offer than rivals, it's no longer the value it once was. Others deliver more performance and luxury for only a slightly higher price.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Dan Frio

Updated: 9/22/2026

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 Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Rex Tokeshi-Torres

Very Good

7.1

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Honda Civic on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

6.4/10

How does it drive? Around turns, the Civic Si sedan is responsive but stable and confidence-inspiring. The steering is light at lower speeds and weights up as speed builds for a bit more precision, though we would like a little more feedback.

Less impressive is the Si's engine. Our Civic Si accelerated to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds — not slow but far from quick compared to the VW GTI (5.9 seconds). Numbers aside, power is there when you need it, and we love rowing through the gears and working the clutch on this rare manual-transmission-only car.

The Si's suspension is stiffer than a standard Civic's but does a pretty good job of smoothing out bumps. We think it's an acceptable trade-off given the car's handling.

Outward visibility is aided by narrow front roof pillars and door-mounted side mirrors. The back window is a bit short, but the multi-angle rearview camera helps you spot anything behind.

The Si offers adaptive cruise, which is somewhat of a rarity with a manual. It reduces the burden of driving in slow traffic, though you do, of course, have to shift yourself. Honda's camera-based driving aids work well for the most part. Faded lane markings sometimes tripped up the lane keeping assistance.

Comfort

7.2/10

How comfortable is it? The Si's front sport seats are well cushioned and offer good lateral bolstering but not to the point of being constraining. The sport fabric breathes well to help keep you cool, but the seats lack adjustable lumbar support, which might be an issue for some.

The climate control layout offers great vent coverage for the cabin. Heated seats are standard beginning in 2025, but dual-zone automatic climate control still isn't available. Road noise is noticeable at any speed and can be rather intrusive on coarse surfaces. Wind noise is thankfully more subdued, and the rest of the interior feels solidly constructed and free of vibration.

All controls are within easy reach and intuitive to use. It's also roomy. The front can comfortably seat taller and shorter passengers equally well, and the rear seats will accommodate average-size adults with no problem. Rear legroom is abundant and headroom is adequate.

The Civic offers three top anchor spots for front-facing child safety seats, and the main lower anchor points are easy to access. Larger rear-facing infant carriers will likely compromise front passenger space a little, but this is true for most cars in this segment.

In-cabin tech

7/10

How’s the tech? The Civic Si's 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system is thoughtfully positioned high on the dash, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road. Its intuitive on-screen menus and responsive performance make it easy to use. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard across all Civics, and the Si offers the convenience of a wireless version. However, as in the regular Civic, the wireless CarPlay connection occasionally experienced a slight delay and stability issues. For a more reliable and faster experience, using a USB cable is recommended. It's also worth noting that the Si does not include rear USB ports, a wireless charger or a digital key, which may be a drawback for some users.

Storage & cargo

8/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Civic Si's trunk can hold up to 14.4 cubic feet of cargo, which is generous compared to other sedans but not as much space as sporty hatchbacks like the Volkswagen GTI offer. The space is usable thanks to minimal intrusion from the Civic's wheelwells and trunk hinges. You can fold down the rear seats to provide more cargo space, though the pass-through opening between the trunk and rear seat isn't very big.

One thing we really liked about the previous Civic: It had lots of clever interior storage. Honda implemented more traditional storage spots for this new Civic, which is a small step back in our opinion. Still, the center armrest bin can hold a good amount and the cupholders are large.

Value

6.4/10

Is it a good value? The Honda Civic Si has long been a solid choice in the sport compact segment, but its value has diminished as its price has climbed to over $31K. Once a bargain, the Si now struggles to compete with rivals that offer more power, luxury and features for only slightly more money. With just 200 horsepower, it's the slowest in its class, lagging behind the VW Jetta GLI and Golf GTI and Hyundai Elantra N. Inside, it's lacking premium touches like dual-zone climate control or an adaptive suspension, which competitors provide.

Honda's warranty is unremarkable with three years/36,000 miles of basic and five years/60,000 miles of powertrain coverage, yet the Civic Si remains a reliable car with strong resale value.

MPG

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Civic Si will get 31 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The Si bests its most direct performance competitors by at least 3 mpg. We managed to achieve 34.6 mpg on our mixed-driving evaluation route, which indicates the EPA estimates can be pretty accurate if you're not a lead-footed driver.

X factor

9/10

The Civic Si is a joy to drive. Sharp handling, responsive steering and a smooth-shifting six-speed manual transmission all help create a sporty driving experience, even if the Si doesn't have as much straight-line speed as its competition. Its styling is unremarkable, but that's largely the point of this latest-generation Civic.

Deals & Buying Tips for the 2025 Honda Civic for October

New 2025 Civic supply is effectively gone, so skip new-car haggling and shop the used market instead.

There are 3,174 used Civics listed nationwide, which gives you real choice while new inventory is basically nonexistent. The Sport is the easiest used trim to find, while Si and Type R are much rarer.
Used 2025 Civic prices start around $23,000. That makes the used market the practical path if you want to compare trims, colors, and equipment without waiting on scarce new stock.
If you do find a new one, prices paid were running about $1,600 below MSRP on average, and there are no general customer rebates. Some trims did better, with the Si closer to 8% off sticker, but with only about 32 new Civics nationwide, selection will matter more than negotiating.
Honda is also offering a $500 Student or College Grad Offer and Military Offer for eligible buyers. Treat that as a bonus, not a reason to overpay on a scarce car.

2025 Honda Civic trim level differences

The 2025 Honda Civic is offered in sedan and hatchback body styles. It comes in four main trim levels: LX (sedan only), Sport, Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid. There's also the Civic Si sedan and the Civic Type R hatchback. Compare the 2025 Honda Civic trim levels in-depth.

Which Civic trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Si is easy to order, as the only real decisions you have to make are the color you want (go on, get Rallye Red. Live a little!) and whether to pay a little extra for summer performance tires. We think the improved grip of the summer tires is worth the negligible cost.

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 a 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 for a deeper dive into the Civic's performance, comfort and more.

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.

What it's like to live with

Edmunds' 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 their observations are still applicable to the 2025 Civic as a whole. Read our Civic Si One-Year Road Test to learn more.
