Review and specifications

2026 Honda Civic Hybrid

Brought back in 2025, the Civic Hybrid's calling card is terrific fuel economy, which gets a huge boost to 44 mpg overall, compared to 33 mpg for the regular Civic. The hybrid version is also more than two seconds quicker from 0 to 60 mph. The hybrid's electric drive is paired with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that together produce 200 hp and make for a delightfully smooth and responsive powertrain. Plus, it can propel itself on electric power alone at low speeds. Handling is fairly nimble, and the ride is compliant and controlled thanks to the added weight of the hybrid's battery pack. The cabin still suffers from excessive road noise, however. The front seats could use better comfort and adjustability, though the rear seat is roomy for the class. We love the Civic's easy-to-use controls. The Hybrid is also available as a hatchback.
