Honda is refreshing the Civic for 2025, reviving the hybrid option and introducing a new Sport Touring Hybrid trim as the top option in the lineup. The automaker said its updates make the new car the most potent non-Type R Civic yet.

The 2025 Civic comes in four trims, including LX sedan, Sport, Sport Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid. Hybrid models will see 200 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque, making them quicker than the previous turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder-powered cars.

Exterior styling also got an update, starting with the front fascia and grille, which Honda said are more aggressive. Hybrid trims get body-colored headlight accents and a front lower spoiler, and sport trims ride on black 18-inch wheels. The LX and Sport trims retain a 2.0-liter gas four-cylinder engine. Honda will offer four new colors, including Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Gray Pearl, Blue Lagoon Pearl, and Sand Dune Pearl.

Inside, hybrid models come with a gray interior, while the Sport hybrid adds a moonroof, dual-zone climate controls, and heated front seats. The Sport Touring Hybrid gets leather upholstery, a nine-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone mirroring, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system. The larger display in the Sport Touring also brings Google built-in, bringing apps like Maps, Google Play store features, and more.

Honda Sensing safety tech comes standard, bringing a long list of driver-assist features. They include forward collision warnings, lane departure alerts, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. Sport trims add blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts.

Bet on it getting 5-10 MPG less than the advertised rating.

  Even if true, this still means 40 to 45 MPG from such a powerful car.
  
  But It will be MORE as the larger Accord Hybrid already tops this in REAL AND EPA MPG.
  
  Consumers see the limitations of current EVs and EV infrastructure and charging on the road.
  
  This is why they have turned to hybrids and esp Plug-in Hybrids (those who can charge them at home) big way.

Buickman mostly cut and paste information. where is Jack Baruth when you need him?
ToolGuy In a perfect world (we don't have that), and a stable world (also no), one might expect the used EV pricing curve to follow the new EV pricing curve but with a lag. Overall that might be sort of what we are seeing but I will have to noodle on it more. (I know you can't wait.)
ToolGuy Ok after listening to the podcast (and re-listening to the relevant part while doing a painting job in the hot sun, won't make any significant pronouncements at this point) I was curious about the methodology. ¶ Here you go: "Methodology iSeeCars analyzed over 2.2 million 1- to 5-year-old used cars sold in May 2023 and 2024. The average listing prices of each car model were compared between the two time periods, and the differences were expressed as both a percentage difference from the 2023 price as well as a dollar difference. Heavy-duty vehicles, low-volume vehicles, vehicles discontinued as of the 2023 model year, and vehicles in production for fewer than four of the last five model years for each period were excluded from further analysis." ¶ So for any specific model, you have age and mileage and condition factoring in (think of the volume curve for 'new' models over the past 5 years). ¶ The overall averages have a -lot- of model mix going on. ¶ Random question: is the 'listing price' the listing price (likely) or the actual transaction price? (It matters if the listing prices were too optimistic a year ago, i.e., some of the 'drop' would represent more realism in the listing prices.)
Johnny ringo VinFast? The name sounds like some kind of a sports drink to me. The early reviews of their vehicles were absolutely terrible. The last vehicle I am going to buy is from a no-name company without any kind of reputation behind it. This reminds me of the Yugo-that was certainly successful.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X What is the term for a car that is not a collector, but just cool enough to own? As in it being interesting and special. Just priced right, but not worthy enough to over value it. Just to have fun with it. This would be similar to owning a Saab 900, a Subaru Brat or Pontiac Fiero. Just something different.
