The 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid: Who is This Car For?

The Honda Civic Hybrid is back for 2025 after a decade-long hiatus. The last Civic Hybrid was discontinued in 2015, replaced by the short-lived Honda Insight hybrid sedan in 2019, and now returns for 2025 as Honda’s smallest and most affordable hybrid. This car is for anyone looking for practical transportation and maximum frugality. It comes with affordable pricing, outstanding fuel economy, and the practicality and resale value we love about the Civic. In the world of compact hybrids, it competes with two Toyotas — the Prius and the Corolla Hybrid — and the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid.

The current (11th) generation of the Honda Civic has been around since 2022, but the hybrid version is all-new for 2025. Every Civic on the market today has some common virtues, like a reasonable price tag, strong resale value, and more entertaining driving dynamics than the average compact car. The Honda Civic Hybrid is no exception, but it adds the benefits of a 200-horsepower hybrid powertrain. It returns up to 49 combined mpg as a sedan and 48 combined mpg as a hatchback. Speaking of which, we love that the Civic Hybrid is available with both body styles. Meanwhile, the Prius is hatchback-only, and the Corolla Hybrid and Elantra Hybrid are both sedan-only.

Shoppers also get a choice of two trims in the Civic Hybrid: Sport and Sport Touring. Some standard features in the Sport model include a power moonroof, heated front seats, and Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. The Sport Touring trim adds leather seats, a wireless charging pad, wireless smartphone connectivity, and a Bose audio system.
