2026 Honda Civic Trims Comparison

Which 2026 Civic trim does Edmunds recommend?

Honda hasn't released official information on the 2026 Civic as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's Civic, we would recommend the Sport Hybrid. It produces more power than the base engine and gets nearly 50 mpg, a best-of-both-worlds combination if there ever was one. Being iffy about the price is understandable, but you're getting a lot of well-rounded excellence for the money.

2026 Civic trim level differences

[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's Civic. We expect the 2026 model will have a similar lineup and we'll update this section once we have complete information.] The 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. Keep reading for our rundown of the Civic's powertrains and the most significant features you get with each trim level.

LX

  • Automatic climate control
  • 7-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Four-speaker audio system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

Every Civic also comes with these advanced driver aids:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure warning
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Civic back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
