The 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid introduces a brand-new hybrid powertrain to the beloved Civic lineup, marking a significant advancement for this iconic model. Known for its longstanding reputation for affordability, quality, and efficiency, the Civic has now evolved with the inclusion of a hybrid option. This new model features a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with two electric motors, delivering a combined 200 horsepower and 233 lb-ft of torque. Exclusively front-wheel drive through a continuously variable transmission, it joins the CR-V and Accord hybrids in Honda's lineup. This exciting addition solidifies the Civic's position as a top choice in the compact sedan market.

Not a CVT, Honda called it an eCVT in a massive marketing fail. Electric motors directly drive the wheels except at higher speeds when engine couples directly to front wheels.

It isn't but Honda is also getting expensive. A Civic hybrid Sport base starts at 28,750. For reference, a Camry LE hybrid starts at 28,400 and is actually less. An LE comes well equipped and if you get the one option package on the LE for power seats to splurge, the Camry hybrid is basically a no-brainer. I love Hondas ad the Ciivc has always been a favorite of mine, but the price point for the Civic hybrid gets way too close to Camry hybrid territory for my liking.

for the price of a sport touring hybrid is that better for daily driving as far as mpg and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) vs. 2025 Toyota Camry XLE - Im currently cross shopping. I want a car that gets around 50mpg - comfortable quiet driving - my commute is ~50 miles combined daily mix of highway and city.

1:04 I think he means that from a rev perspective. If it's 2.0 and not 2.4L, so instead of getting that full 150hp at the 4500 rpm, you can access it sooner at lower rpm. To compare, it's similar to the 1.8L on the Toyota Corolla.

What does it mean that it won’t let you do “one-pedal driving”?

@Wised1000 14 күн бұрын

It does not. The variable regen is really unnecessary unless you think of it as a variable low gear for going down a very steep hill. It has five levels, another useless feature, but it's there! One caveat I have with the otherwise excellent drivetrain is that the auto parking brake is controlled by the seat belt not the transmission, so when you park you must unlatch your seatbelt BEFORE you put the transmission in prk fir the parking brake to engage, if not, you have to set the parking brake manually. An entirely dumb and counterintuitive proposition! At least it's better than on the Odyssey, which forces you to activate the autostop feature every time you start the vehicle😬

@ztekz 13 күн бұрын

@@Wised1000there are 4 levels for the regen paddles and no it’s not useless…this is Honda’s way to introduce you towards their prologue EV. I have the CRV hybrid and I use the paddles most of the time when coasting so rarely will step on the brake pedal until really coming to complete stop but when just slowing down due to traffic, paddles help I/o brake pedal!

Is this the first Honda with ANC? It seems like such an easy way for them to address complaints about Hondas' notorious road noise, so why didn't they adopt it years ago? Also, it wasn't clear from the video, but is the 1.5 turbo still available on the Civic?

@Wised1000 13 күн бұрын

@Johnny_Socko They have not been loud for a while now.The CRV touring, for example, is a lot quieter than the RAV 4. Quieting involves weight and $ both anathema for "cheap" cars. Nowadays, there isn't such thing as a cheap car, so Honda has been improving their quietness accordingly. The CRV touring has gone as far as including acoustic glass, something previously seen only in "luxury" brands. The CRV is so quiet that Honda has included fake engine sounds and shifting (through the stereo) to recreate a more "normal" auditory environment.

@@WarpedTrekker obviously it won't that's physics. My 2020 Honda Civic EX hatchback is rated at 40 mpg on the highway. In October my wife and I brought the kids to Legoland in Florida. Round trip we went just over 3,300 miles The whole trip we average 43.6 mpg. I have family that lives in Northern Maine about 3 hours north of me The speed limit up there is 75 mph. So if I cruise at 80 mph there and back we average 36-37 mpg. More air resistance obviously the car is going to need more energy to defeat it.
