It is a bummer they are getting rid of the 6 speed and k20c2. The reason they are is because they are no longer going to have the k20c2. It is being replaced by the 2 L from the the hybrid. Yes, the hybrid engine will be the engine for the low trims too. Just without the electrification. So cvt only. Rip K20c2. Rip 6 speed. The si will continue to be the only manual 1.5t. they will be keeping it. It will likely be gone next gen though. That's okay. The 1.5 isn't exactly that reliable. So I see why they are doing this. Yeah, the big bummer is the 6 speed gone from the lower sport trim. Old reliable port injection k20 rip. If I didn't want the hybrid so bad I would definitely be getting that.
Where did you get the info that K20C2 is being dropped?
@@stevenr1354 It was on the spec sheet that Honda Canada released about a month ago that got quickly taken down.
@@PSIJOEThanks. Bad news.
@@stevenr1354 Definitely, man. It sucks. I guess streamlining production. Bummer for sure.
Can that k20c2 and 6 Spd trans be purchased today?
I have an 98 HX which motor is that?
Thanks
bro is so excited he forgot the intro LOL
I think that the civic has a way better look than the accord
Doesn't the Accord look like a Jetta?
@@Moondoggy1941 it looks like a new gen accord, quality Honda design unique to Honda accord. thats what it looks likes to me.
Agreed
@carsonsaturday4640 The accord looks like a 2000s Nissan lol
@@nicholasrandazzo7279 I went to my local Honda dealer after this video, I do not care for the 2024 Accord, I like the previous model.
They are still charing over 7K for markups, 699 for nitrogen fill. I'd be better off buying a 25 Camry. Honda still hasn't pulled their head out yet.
As a big Toyota fanboy, this is great for Honda. Definitely suffices picking the Civic over the Corolla.
Toyota needs to step it up and make a 2.0L hybrid Corolla Hatchback
I would say the civic fights the prius these days.
@@Hallowsaw The age old battle is always gonna be Civic vs Corolla. There are still enough people that are unwilling to buy a Prius purely because it's well a "Prius"
Corolla was never as good as civic. Civic is much sportier and more premium.
As new Prius Prime owner, I’m celebrating this news!! More hatchbacks and sedan hybrids! We aren’t dead yet.
I have been thinking about getting a 2025 Camry but honestly I like what Honda is doing here.... Potentially a hatchback hybrid in my future. Great video Kirk!
I was too. I'm 6'6" and heard the headroom is even better in the Civic. A smaller, lighter hatchback is where my heart is.
I don't know why but Toyota basically lowered the roof height on all of their vehicles and for taller people it makes it very hard to get in and out of. My buddy is super tall and he bought an accord for that reason. Even the large Sequoia is hard for him to sit in do the fact that you sit so high up in it and there's not much space above you. Hondas than a very good job with spacing in their new models even on the small ones
Yup, a nice one to rival the Toyota Camry… comparable interms or power and even room.. and matches the MPG
@@midnitestate tell your buddy that at least he can get any woman he wants since women love tall men and hate short men. So tell him to think of the pros and not just the cons of being super super tall, wherever he goes he has a long line of women waiting to sleep with him due to his height
Toyota reliability no one beats
It's cool they brought the hybrid back, but I think I'll stick with my 2022 hatchback manual
Honda just expanded the lead that it has in the compact sedan segment. 50 MPG combined and more power than the Si, it’s a home run.
Not only that but they manage to not only compete with the Corolla but the Prius at the same time.
Plus you got the Prelude coming which will be hybrid 2
If the Si gets this engine. I’m buying one!
@@JorJorBinks123why do you need the name si to buy it?
@@Hallowsaw Manual
The new Civic hybrid we have here in Europe is pretty sweet! Great performance, awesome handling, super fuel efficient.
no manual so, that's not a real car; also, 8k euro difference between the most expensive prev gen and the cheapest current one; totally unjustifiable.
@@eugenuxYou and I could be friends. Good head on your shoulders.
This normal sedated look is so much more appealing than the angular transformers look from a few years ago.
The last best hope for mankind was the 2017 V6 Accord. 🌎
I own a 2022 Civic Sport Touring 1.5T 6MT and love it. Sad to see it go.
The argument is that they build the stick and no one buys them. I feel like the 6MT really got a lot of accolades this generation and I can't imagine they're just sitting on dealer lots with only a January and a July build date per year with only 3 color choices.
i have a 22 sport hatch with the manual and k20, yeah i didn’t really expect them to stick around
The new hybrid front end looks better than the fog lighted version in my opinion. Also the wheel design is bold and has a more solid look than most wheels I see on other hybrids. I give the new Civic Hybrid sedan two thumbs UP!
Even my '23 CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring routinely gets 40 mpg on average, so no wonder lighter cars can get 50 mpg. The hybrid system is extremely smooth and seamless and peppy. I'm very happy with it.
Oh btw, 1 fill-up can last about 600 miles without any cumbersome charging. 🙄
But the real question is do you drive around shirtless too?@@ytsux9259
I liked the Insight and would have definitely considered one if I had been in the market at the time. I keep my vehicles for many years usually about 20. My daughter will be headed off to college here shortly so we are in the market again.
The perfect balance I was looking for gas/performance. I’m very interested in this civic
As a UK owner of the Civic hybrid who has driven a manual all my life take it from me the hybrid is on a different level
The Truly Hybrid era has Begun
With increasing gasoline prices, definitely.
Won't get into BEVs until better batteries come out.
Stick shift - you know it was the honey on the lot when I was looking and I knew it at the time - in Canada in 2021 the BASE Elantra here had the stick shift option and they even added some content to that model as it was the only offering at the time. It was like $18,000 here and they had a grey puddy colour one with chrome 15" wheels (mine has the 16" black ones which I never understood as particularly nice looking - reason I got the black coloured car to pull them into looking normal). Anyway here at least they still offer the N-Line with the stick - take the 2024 for a spin if you can as they are saying it got some very nice enhancements including a "closer to N" exhaust note.
Kirk, What are the Vegas odds on the Civic Hybrid sedan costing more than the FWD Camry LE? 🤔
My real question is will it FINALLY break the 50 MPG barrier? They've been trying for so long.
I bet they will be available for the asking. The new 2025 Camrys are all hybrid and they are in stock. The hybrid shortages of the past few years are probably over.
I’m in Canada and Toyota dealer says 8-12 month wait for the 2025 Camry. That’s helping make my decision of choosing the civic hybrid as Honda dealer says they are arriving late June early July
Can't wait to see what the do with the Integra 😍
Any info on the 2025 SI. Should I rush out to get the 2024?
I might buy those rims for my 2024 sport touring.
Depending on the weight (of the Civic Hybrid), I wonder if the Si will get a power pump.
I’m excited for all these upcoming hybrids, possibilities are endless.
With the new 911 hybrid getting a new 3.6 NA flat 6, I wonder if other brands will bring back NA engines. It would be cool to see a next gen Civic Type R with the new E AWD and a new NA high revving 4 cylinder like back in the day. Hybrids FTW!
If you like the Honda Civic's look, it's great that it is catching up in MPG Ratings.
I'm driving a 2020 Civic Coupe. After 3 years of the Gen Xl, l'm still turned off by the very sedated looking Gen XI. Come trading time, l'll be looking at the Prius, or the Corolla Hatch (AWD?), if it the the Corolla gets a Hybrid. Maybe our trusted informer, Kirk can tell us if that happens.
However, this recent touch up, is definitely an improvement.
AT $30K for a daily commuter, the Corolla Hybrid may be a tough sell, if switchbacks aren't your thing.
As for stick shifters, l traded my last stick, a 2007 GTI Golf in 2016. Don't miss it one bit. With many family members driving my cars, sticks are not a plan. Especially if you see my family members clutch and shift!😩
In the uk we have hybrid. It’s fantastic. Carwow reviewed it & he got 7 secs 0-60 not that is important but its how it drove. The auto gearbox is a masterpiece, truly the best of everything and over 60mpg. Only complaint I had was 360 camera would’ve been nice.
I actually really like the new front bumper since only 1 trim came with the fogs. I really want an Si so I am interested to see what they do with that
Does it include the feature where they sale you driving info to insurance companies so your rates will go up?
Nobody bought the manual . I did my part with buying manual versa . It’s criminal they getting rid of manual civic touring
I guess thats why honda japan recently debuted a civic RS concept manual (probably Si equivallent) to be positioned below the type r, as the regular 6 speed option will be discontinued. So by that logic, the Si should live on.
Sad to see the manual leave the civic sport..
I love the MPG hybrid civic
What about spare parts for the manual when you buy?
Hatchback for the win!! I need one
09:18 how do you get to know the available stock in your area, Kirk ?!
that front bumper looks more like a type r
Home alone! It looks great!
THE SI should become a trim. SI looks and suspension upgrade at this point.
And it needs the previous Accord 2.0t sport motor
I miss that manual in the SI, but that 2 liter hybrid in the CRV…. I am getting 42 miles a gallon right now.
Did they add any option to the sport like wireless CarPlay or wireless charging ? Any apple key ?
Only for touring trims
no 6spd, no $
Makes me want to trade in my current Civic for a HB hybrid.
Not getting rid of my 19 sp touring 6sp hatch
2025 30k civic hybrid vs 2025 30k camry. Hard choice. Camry has way more room.
No rear vent, sucks
Not in the trunk
@@Hallowsaw Camry's trunk is bigger where it counts: the load floor... hatchback/SUV cargo space mostly shines when you fold the seats down, but sedans tend to have more usable trunk space for everyday family use.
keep in mind you're comparing the fully loaded civic hybrid to the absolute bare bones base Camry LE hybrid trim. The Civic will have heated seats, premium Bose audio system, sunroof, bigger infotainment system, leather seats, nicer wheels etc.
@@sachinnair91 Camry LE does have rear air vents and USB ports, though… and heated seats and steering wheel are a low-cost option…
The wheels are a wash, because Camry LE is likely to have better MPG thanks to those 16” lol
Civic looks great
So the Si gets the old 2.0t accord sport engine? Please?
No.
The hybrid hatchback is totally what I would jump on if I didn't already get the 6MT Integra when that launched, that fuel economy with the utility is fantastic. Now if we can just get station wagons back in style.
what an impressive car
Honda!!! There are no words for how I'm feeling about this hybrid Civic. It's exciting and kind of crazy at the same time because I remember how HondaPro Jason felt about the Euro HRV with this hybrid setup and he was impressed. My only problem as usual is I will never buy anything with a CVT or similar setup but the power numbers and mpg are great for a model this size.
As for Acura, since they haven't given us any indication of what is coming with the ADX and the 1.5T literally being taken out of products, don't be surprised if we see some kind of hybrids appear for it and the Integra. I still don't know why they would allow their "sport performance" subcompacts to be outpaced by the mainstream counterparts.
I expect NO hybrids for Acura unless they get the next-gen systems in 2026.
@@KirkKreifels One can dream. I wish they would just keeping the mechanical SH-AWD setup and maybe taking some inspiration from the last gen NSX. It still fascinating how they were ahead of the curve and couldn't figure out the only reason the sport hybrids weren't selling was because of pricing and the designs of that time. I agree that if they used next gen tech to bridge the gap until full electrics took center stage, both brands would be tough to compete with.
"...I remember how HondaPro Jason felt about the Euro HRV with this hybrid setup and he was impressed." He's a Honda *salesman* - of *course* he's "impressed."
This isnt a real CVt. Hondas hybrid transmissions are basically EV transmissions- just gears and electric motors. Very durable
Thought we may possibly see the 12 inch screen, seems just mostly mild NVH improvements, still no rear vents ☹️, what if Acura pulled a 180 and gave the ADX this powertrain
Acura is leaving money on the table by not doing hybrids... if Acura won't do hybrids, then Honda needs to stop holding back on features for its hybrids (rear air vents, rear USB, 360 camera, etc)
So if I interpret this right, the only way to get leather will be the sport touring in both sedan and hatchback. Previously that was only true of the sedan as the hatchback had the EX-L. So it seems like the trims on both body styles will be the same with the same equipment just a hatchback or sedan. Makes a lot more sense. I still don't understand why the top trim civic gets the all digital dash but the top cr-v doesn't. Also so glad they kept the shifter. The europe hybrids all get that stupid push button transmission.
What sucks is if they are discontinued parts are going to hard to come by. Is a hybrid better?
I was waiting for this one. Honda s big news, no 1.5 and a new 2.0.
1.5t only in the Si seeminly. Which I guess gives the Acura Integras more exclusivity?
I really feel that Kirk's talent has not been fully utilized. He is such a gifted and passionate car reviewer. However, due to well-known reasons, he can only review old gasoline cars from brands like Honda and Toyota, and doesn't have many opportunities to review various electric cars from around the world. It's like a talented food critic being stuck in a village with only one restaurant that only serves steaks, and those steaks have been frozen for ten or twenty years. The only changes in the menu are limited to marginal alterations in the condiments. I hope that this talented food critic will one day be able to get a ticket to the other village across the water, where he can taste a variety of seafood and poultry dishes and share his experiences with his fellow villagers.
I've been waiting on the Civic Hybrid for a while. But I have a feeling the 2025 Camry SE will probably have near equal fuel efficiency, and more interior space, while being priced around the same. Hondas' Civic pricing, especially the top tiers & hatchback models, have skyrocketed in the last five years.
Great point. The new Camry is soooo good.
I am betting they are going to try to keep their Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid just under 30K. You can get a fully loaded Corolla Hybrid XLE for about 30K. Or a base model Camry LE with a moon roof for just over 30K. Upper two trims for the 2024 Prius start around 32K and 34K. And the economy looks to be already in or going into a recession.
Thank God they're dumping the 1.5T
Mazda had eMotor AWD in Mazda2 Demios in Japan over 10 years ago!
It makes sense they would make more defining lines between the trims with the manual. At this point only enthusiasts want manuals. Might as well only offer them in the enthusiast trims of Si and Type R.
Finally a Prius competitor. This competes more w the Prius bc of its price and power outputs. The corolla is the entry hybrid for their line up. This isn’t really an entry level hybrid. Just under 30k for a BASE civic hybrid? I’d rather get a 2025 Camry LE for the same price.
Its a sport not base.
I'm not so sure why there is always this agita whenever a manufacturer discontinues a manual. I understand there are manual enthusiasts...but the numbers are low and they depreciate incredibly fast. I would myself love an Acura Integra Type S with a DCT...but it only comes with manual, so I won't buy one...I drive in stop and go traffic all the time, so it's inconvenient. All that said, I love the idea of the hatch sport touring hybrid with decent horsepower AND great gas mileage. I think this is the way to go.
v6 accord coupe with manual or not interested..So the 1.5T is gone? Thank goodness for that, no more 1k oil changes due to gas in oil..
Will they give the SI a 2L? And a power boost upto 250/280hp 😅😅 would be nice 👍🏿
It's a shame they removed the fog lights.
But supposedly the bumper is sportier now 😂
Wait for the hatchback there’s more cargo!! Still has glossy black inside?!? Huh?!!? 😡 New infotainment google assistant no lag!!! 👍
The gloss black parts are not even touch points.
Part of me wants a civic with an IMA and 5 speed of years past, but as I’m getting older their new system is okay. I’m shocked every other brand is using a version of the old IMA system, and Honda hasn’t used it on any of their bigger SUVs.
Trading my 6 speed manual civic sport on a 2025 type r went to the dealer yesterday to claim the one allocation they get can't wait!
Is going to come to europe?
Cool
Im honestly not a huge fan of the front end redesign.. makes me think of one of those cheap chevys that looks like it’s got a mouthful. wish they stuck with the old one or designed it differently.
As soon as I saw that they removed lumbar adjustment along with no fog lights all I could hear was " cost out "
Hope they do not over price it in this environment?
I like it! Can't wait for you to drive it. Boost Blue for me.
😅I'll be trading in my Mazda 3 for a sport touring sedan next year I'm sure I have always liked this body style
Me still trying to get an si 😢
I like how Honda has decided no body needs fog lamps on the crv,hrv,and now the civic and accord!
It's mind boggling that they don't even offer it as an accessory... You used to be able to for the last 30 years. It has the words "cost out" written all over it. I get it, not everyone needs fog lights but on a $40k CRV? No lumbar on the new loaded Civic? Mooch much?
the days of L15 boys grenading their cvt transmissions with a ktuner is over i guess. I’m more of a fan of the K20C2 myself. i do have a ktuner and some fun bits that make it faster than the stock L15. probably more reliable too. it’s a 2022 manual sport hatch. still only 15,000 miles i plan on keeping it a long time.
i respect the hybrid tech, it seems like a great system having the engine as like a generator that can also link directly to the drivetrain for more power. i just don’t think the tuners are gonna touch it without the turbo. the mod scene for the K20C2 is already pretty dead. you get the prl intake, the rv6 downpipe, the ktuner and you’re done. good parts but not a lot of them. time will tell i guess. the civic hybrids never got love before
Good that the l15 is gone. I know they did some updates but those had quite a few serious issues that made them unreliable. However the 6 speed disappearing makes since but still disappointing. They are gonna go quick and for a lot of money
Think I'd get a Camry over this
6:38 Hold up, AWD potentially in the future? That's what I like to hear.
Refresh already?
Anyone know what is going to happen with the si?
I suspect a bump in HP or dropped eventually!
I like how the inside has non gloss materials. Thats a huge win
I don't really like the new front bumper on this 2025 model. But the rest of the car is fine. I do believe the Civic looks better than the current version of the accord, but I have the previous version which I think looks better than all of them.
I'm hoping that Honda will finally include Lumbar support in front seats.
Would not recommend those 18 inch wheels with the low sidewall tires, are not good with the bad roads in the Northeast!
They can leave you stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire and a bent wheel!
What you think they going to do with the Acura Integra since the upgrade to the of the new civic? I can’t imagine them justifying keeping that weak 200 hp cvt auto that gives 30 mpg and 8 sec 0 to 60 when the civic hybrid will have more hp and torque and get 50 mpg… and most likely much faster
It looks great 50 mpg have they said the price yet?
Close to $30k I bet
@@KirkKreifels yea sounds logical to me
I can’t wrap my head around to them killing the EXL trim. I really wanted one of these with smaller wheels for a more comfortable ride and better fuel economy while still having leather seats.
Same for the EX on the sedan side. Looks like your wheel choices are 16" steel with cheap hubcaps (LX sedan only) or 18". I don't understand why everything needs to be a 'sport' trim. Maybe they'll surprise us with a 16" or 17" alloy wheel on the LX but that doesn't do you any good if you want to go hybrid or if you want any trim of the hatchback. I think the 17" alloys on the current EX/EL-L are perfect size and design for the car, but I wouldn't count on seeing them in '25.
@@smf15 they think everyone who wants to buy their car is a boy racer.
The Civic sport (non turbo k20c2) manual checks a lot of boxes but it is underpowered at 158hp. They did this on purpose to funnel more buyers to purchase the 1.5turbo and Honda corporate could make more money.
If Honda brings the Prelude concept online it makes this model look like a piker.
I wish they kept the Original grill oh well Id still take this over the Prius.
When it's new gen shows up in 2016 with it's a wider & spacious interior, new attached quality display w CarPlay, soft grip steering handle, completely redesigned back & from. Much spacious & smooth ride plus much high fuel mileage made it to top notch. Lucky i had 1 & still running smooth for 9 years. Saved a lot in Gas & maintenance cost. Better than any cars on its class.
There's a reason why I'll never sell my '06 fg2 Civic Si Coupe.
K20Z3 6-speed with only 118k miles.
Last of the REAL V-TECH Honda's 😊
It's not fast but engaging as a DD.
'Rather drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow' 😂
I consider it a FWD S2000
They should detune the 2.0 engine and make it standard on the Civic SI, Integra and the new small Acura SUV the ADX. 2.0 engine with 240 lb-ft of torque 205 hp
What use is the “sportier exterior” if they’re dropping the stick shift option 😞. It’s sad that Nissan Versa is the only manual car you can get sub $30k, and that will likely be discontinued soon too.
The Civic front looks better but the Accord’s silhouette looks sleeker, like an Audi A7.
How about the HR-V hybrid? Can we get that next since the Corolla Cross already has hybrid option?
Coming next year for the refresh.
@@limitedreach4446how do you know
@@chezzyperson3339Because Honda plans to incorporate it into all of their core products and HR-V is the 4th core model.
In canada they are charging 32 to 47 grand for new civic, expensive
The Honda Insight: Am I a joke to you ?
RIP Honda Insight.
Dust in the wind
Will they make a Type R hybrid?! 🫢
Will they make it a 2 door like it should have been in the first place? AWD to compete with Corolla GR and Golf?
No rear usb and air vents is ridiculous. I wouldn’t buy it just for that reason
same here.
