Overview
The Honda Civic continues to demonstrate its prowess in the small-sedan segment. In fact, it currently ranks No. 1 in zzdcar' rankings. The 2025 Honda Civic will most likely arrive with some refinements but nothing drastic. There's plenty to like about the current-generation Civic. Available in sedan or hatchback form, it has all the appreciated interior highlights like a roomy cabin, the latest technology and driver assist features, and comfortable seats. In addition, the powertrains available are excellent, from the one in the base LX trim to the one gracing the wicked Type R. A significant addition to the popular nameplate is the return of a hybrid-powered Civic for 2025.
zzdcar spotlight: A hybrid Civic is confirmed for 2025
The Civic Hybrid was a fixture of the lineup from the early 2000s until Honda discontinued it nearly a decade ago. Now Honda has confirmed a hybrid-powered Civic will return for 2025 in sedan and hatchback forms, though details are slim. However, we expect it to have the same powertrain as the European Civic e:HEV with 180 hp. Fuel economy for combined city/highway driving should be about 50 mpg, which would be competitive with the rival Toyota Corolla Hybrid and Toyota Prius along with the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid. Check back with zzdcar for updates as we find out more.

zzdcar says
We like the Honda Civic for everything it offers in a small package. Although the upcoming Civic may not be drastically different, the addition of a hybrid version will definitely give the lineup a boost.
