The 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid manages to be the most powerful non-Type R Civic ever, and even as it manages nearly 50 mpg combined, it also manages to be the most dynamic option against the Toyota Corolla Hybrid and Hyundai Elantra Hybrid.

Damn that Translator’s Japanese fluency is amazing!
Yeah, super impressive. Loved this interview
No shit, that's his job??
@@smartfreak7105 some people aren’t good at their jobs 🤣
Thank you! It’s actually how I got into Honda, but now I’m a manager in Product Planning! I was just helping TFL for the interview! 👍🏾
@@jonathonrivers6640 Can you please help Honda plan some rear AC vents in sub 30k cars 🙏🏼
OG Japanese guys like this gentlemen are EXACTLY why Japanese cars are better!
Culture matters
Nice car and a solid review. Enjoyed the interview with the engineer. TY.
Definitely going in the right direction back to its roots of fun and reliability.
Honda needed to do this aand I applaud this effort. Honda interiors are a step above Toyotas in these lower priced vehicles. I hope this powertrain makes its way to the HRV to give the Corolla Cross Hybrid a challenger in this space. The Toyota just isn't as nice inside.
The only way it could compete with the Corolla Cross Hybrid is if they made this powertrain AWD, which is what the Corolla Cross Hybrid is.
@@morganmossman1955 I don't think AWD is that important for most buyers. Lexus sells a FWD UX200H which is on the same platform as the Corolla Cross. Most people just want a fuel efficient small crossover and 200 hp is a nice bonus.
you might wanna check out the uk website of honda.
this tech already made it into the HRV, CRV and civic years ago.
honda will introduce it to the US cause doing so costs them almost nothing
WE just got an Accord Hybrid EX-L (better mileage than the sport with the smaller, lighter wheels). You can go 70 on flat highways in EV mode for a bit. Have seen 53+ on a tank of mixed driving.
Hi Tommy
I'm so sorry for your trip in Montreal for the roads lol
Welcome to Montreal Quebec 😊
Even though theyre different classes, im considering this or the new Camry Hybrid.
I think I would go for the ‘25 Civic Sport Hybrid Hatchback. (I like the rear design of the hatchback better)
cant wait for the hybrid hatch!
Honda needs to give the Ridgeline some love
Why does Honda hate rear seat passengers so much? They really need to get the area rear of the B pillar up to par. Is a pocket on the back of the driver's seat that hard to apply? And no air vents or USB outlets, especially at this price point? Come on man!!
I agree!
I think the Civic is still one of the all around best sedans for sale. If I were going to buy a simple, efficient sedan, I'd be looking at the Civic, Insight, Accord, Corolla, and Camry. They're just good.
Im really happy they didn't put s iPad as a gauge cluster 😊😊😊
We're paying almost 30 grand, just put a compact spare tire, geez
Then don't buy it lol
I think that would decrease electric range
I think that would decrease electric range
You can buy a spare tire for like $60-$80. It’s really not that serious.
Ask them to throw in the spare tire kit
The wife might like this, she’s gotta lead foot and hugs trees😂
why not buy her a 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage? It gets 50 mpg in real world driving and it's a lot cheaper, like half the price of a fully loaded 2025 Civic
@sachinnair91 the only thing the Mirage does fast is get nowhere! 😂
@@sachinnair91what?! The mirage is hideous looking and the mpgs are not the same and it’s only 78 hp 🤣
@@SuperDB215 looks good to me and many Mirage owners have told me they get 50 mpgs. As for the 78 hp, it only weighs 2000 pounds so it doesn't need much power
@@sachinnair91 Good luck getting that engine and transmission to 100,000 miles.
And even if you do get it to 100,000 miles, good luck selling it. You won’t be able to sell a 100,000 miles Mitsubishi Mirage that is 5 years old for half its price.
You can easily sell a 100,000 miles Toyota/Honda that is 5+ years old for more than half the price you bought it for off the lot. Because to a buyer, a Toyota/Honda with 100k miles have another 125k miles to go. A Mitsubishi Mirage with 100k miles has outlived its lifespan and is running on borrowed time.
nice watch! little things like these show good judgment
WOW! An interview with Akimotosan! Congrats. The gentleman who is translating ... is he an the Acura Integra design lead? You should give him some props.... Thank you for the interview. I'm so glad Honda is maintaining some sporting culture. I wish we could have seen more about the hatchback! Hatchbacks Rule! Thank you!
great review
Thank you for interviewing the legendary Akimoto san! Is the translator an Acura's executive?
TFL asked if I could help with interpretation, which is actually how I got into Honda. Now I work as a manager in Product Planning (and have worked on several Acuras)!
Waiting for the hatchback drive. Great review.
I'll be considering this as my next vehicle.
Fantastic package from Honda. Be prepared for huge dealer markups on this vehicle.
Nope it’s high volume
Bonjour Tommy and welcome to Canada. Honda has thrown down the gauntlet with a Civic Hybrid which is bigger and more powerful than the Corolla. All the Civic needs now is AWD.
Let's hope the next Corolla matches the Civic for interior space and performance. Of course, all these comparisons go out the window if the Civic hybrid sedan costs almost as much
as the Camry. 😁
Yeah, honda's cost too much in every offering they have, super cool car but at the same price, i will buy the prius...if toyota canada offer a prius LE in canada, not only the XLE and up...
Wont happen pal. Toyota can’t match what Honda Hyundai kia or Mazda can do
Toyota tried to respond to the 2016 civic with the 2020 corolla and it lost badly to the Honda instantly
This won’t be different. Toyota can redesign the corolla 500 times over and over and it would still fail to compete with the civic Elantra etc
The corolla ostensibly doesn’t exist anymore
@@naveenthemachine The Corolla never really did in my book, I have had 2 Civics I put 250K on each. Corolla's paint job is terrible, they have to be garaged.
rightlane, the Accord Hybrid is perfect for you since you're so tall and lanky!
Funny thing about your video I've automatically! recognize the Bad road of Montréal 😂 cuz I live in MTL. Welcome Tommy
Soul Brother on the translation. Yes!!!
Kool interviews
Will sell like hotcakes
Hopefully not because I want to buy one without the dealer mark ups lmao
I wonder what hotcakes sold like… 🧐
I like crabcakes
You are in Montreal! Welcome to my part of the world! And the world famous pothole lol. It's not just in Montreal, the whole state is like that. You really have to be careful, sometime they are pretty deep and can easily take out your tires and bend/crack you wheels..
I love the review in Montreal since we are renown with big pothole
You should compare to last year's Insight. I hate the Civics screen protruding out of the dashboard like a design afterthought.
Will the rims be different on the Hybrid Sport and the ICE Sport?
Funny to see Tommy drive in my home town!! I saw te cars lined up downtown Montreal last Wednesday, waiting to be lent out I guess… Good looking car bigger than the old Accords… Don’t see the point of the Accord anymore!
Get a Camry for the same price, more power, larger, more features, more reliable, more mpg.
If only they didn't botch the styling on the new Camry... It's a great package but hideous to look at imo
I wouldn't mind having one of these but right now we are in need of something a bit bigger for all the trips we have planned over the next five years with our kids. This would be a good second vehicle to have.
Amazing, and I love the color! Hope they will bring it soon to Mexico
This looks like a better daily driver than the Accord, unless you frequently have passengers in the back seat. No vents or USB outlets for the back is a bit of a miss. Otherwise, great looking car.
I think it has USB but no rear vents not sure.
It shocks me how much better the stying of the Civic is over the new Accord.
@@tomtest891 and the civil looks exactly like an accord prior generation just smaller.
How did this new one even get approved.
This happen twice before where Honda releases a terribly styled accord while the civic looks much better.
But back then the accord had much more powerful engines and way more space.
It still has a ton of space but the new civic is a midsize not packing in space almost as roomy as the Camry minus some headroom and tiny amount of hip room
Man I REALLY want a performance version of this with 250+hp. I can totally see Honda achieve a 40mpg average with that car and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Good video. I think if you’re going to keep this car for years, and you will because of these ridiculous prices , you should just get a bigger car. The Camry is hard to beat.
Heated *cloth* seats: underrated! Sport hybrid model is the sweet spot for sure.
They just killed the Accord with this. Time to change out my 23 Accord Touring! 😆
I am not 100% sure but I think some countries have e:hev civic and accord for 2024 models or even 2023 (also not sure if they are the same). But even so, the changes to the 2025 look is very nice. As much as I love my 10th gen civic (which is still at around 50k km), i am very tempted to get either this or the accord (i like the convenience thingie like the memory seat settings, but might be too wide considering that I tend to squeeze on tight spots with my current civic) ;)
Thanks for the review!
You’re right china market has the e:hev from 2023 model also the price is a lot cheaper then USA! Top trim only 24k (also they have huge discount) Out door price range 16k-20k USD$
There has been like 10 different reviews of this Civic in the past 24hrs 😁😁 Tedward, Straightpipes, what’s going on 😁
The manufacturers have embargos on reporting until a specified date and time. Then the floodgates open.
I'm sure it's a fine vehicle (If not a little sanitized) but I'm going with the old-school 24 Sport Touring Hatch with the 1.5T / 6MT... I want a car for driving not for being a passenger (please see definition for 'enthusiast') ...Regards
I noticed no heated steering wheel ? Is that an American version ?
I really think this thing's interesting direct drive transmission contraption seems so much nicer than some competitor's CVTs. It doesn't seem nearly as annoying while driving.
I have a lead foot in my 2019 Ioniq Hybrid and still fill up only twice a month I’m in La area
welcome to Quebec, and I sorry for the road LoL.
Tommy, you didn't mention if the Google infotainment is subscription based??? Screw subscriptions!! It would be better to have Garmin based NAV.
🤣
True it is, but it has Android auto built in making it redundant.
Apple car play have you heard of it?
Does currenct Accord have a different power train compared to civic? That engineer gentleman kind of confused me when he mentioned that he's in a civic and integra development team.
Just bought a 2024 Tiguan. But im thinking ill be trading up in 2026 to this!
I always wanted the hatchback so 😉
TFL in Montreal !
Having driven a recent model gas powered Corolla and Civic, they aren’t really equivalent cars. While they are both labeled compact, the Corolla is a true compact. The Civic is more midsized-particularly in the rear seat area.
All I want for Christmas is a Honda Civic 2025 Hybrid in blue for MSRP. I have a better luck believing in Santa Clause.
It's only June, Bud. Get a job at McDonald's or Walmart or do food delivery or Uber. Whatever it takes.
@@sachinnair91 I already have the money Bud, just waiting on good timing, my local Honda dealer still has a 7 to 11K markup on the existing 24 Civics.
@@Moondoggy19417 to 11k markup on a civic? Where is this at? Crazy!
This is going to impact the sales of the accord.
Just to be sure the novelty here is that they introduced this powertrain into the Civic, right ?? Because we've had Accord hybrid for the past ten years and it's been making the same 200ish hp peak combined (170hp at the wheels). It seems more exciting to look at Camry hybrid since they use 2.5L 180hp to make combined ~230 hp.
gives me hope for the 'lude
I hope the Si comes in the hatchback now that the turbo 1.5 is "gone". I would scoop a 6 speed Si hatch with an LSD right quick.
Honda will probably start offering rebates on it and at the end of the year could be a good deal.
Interesting what the man said when asked about maintenance of the clutch system. He said it would need maintenance but wasn't specific. Honda says no maintenance. The reality is that the Toyota ecvt is more reliable. Clutch will wear out eventually. Having said that the drive in the Honda is better.
Hope Honda puts a 50 kW engine on the rear axle.
Part of me wanted to have buyer's remorse that I bought a 2024 Civic Sport just days before these 25 hybrids were announced. But with some of the scary reporting on how intrusive vehicle privacy has gotten, it's probably for the better I don't have google in my car tracking my every movement and selling that data. Also the 2.0 NA is bulletproof, but who knows how the rest of the electric powertrain will age alongside it.
That color is hard to take. Maybe it grows on you 😮
JDM Honda
Rocks
Crazy how this gonna get marked up and gonna be out of a lot of people budget
Knights of the round table wheels
Best Hybrid from honda after accord and crv ..
This gonna be more fun to drive ..
This hybrid Civic is new in US right? In Europe it has been some years now. The ride is a step up compared to Corolla and Fit (Yaris) hybrid. 😎
Again, no spare???
Spare tire will make this civic the best automobile of all for its price
You can. Buy what used to be a free safety like headphone dongles for a couple hundred
Kinda weird the LX and Sport didn’t get the 1.5T, and the EX was dropped. Not everyone wants a hybrid. Now there’s no non-hybrid premium trim. And no spare tire?
hey zack bestie how are ya tommy well done
Sounds like Honda nailed it.
Why has Honda dropped Sirius XM radio? This is a deal breaker for me in this new model. Honda is killing me!!
Can't you connect with your iPhone or Android device?
Homelink?
Good to lease. Or to sell before 60k miles so you don't have to deal with hybrid batteries right?
Why? honda sells more hybrid CRVs and accords.. Camry sells only hybrid now… why are we worried about a puny battery? Are we in 2010s?
@@harrytej 8k batteries ain't no joke. It's more than what you would save on gas
Get a Toyota then. Their battery comes with a 10 year, 200,000km warrenty. Not sure about Honda however but I'm sure they're going to be competitive
@@terroristatony why do you think it is 8k ? Did honda dealers tell u that? With millions of cars around you dont think there will be an alternative non- OEM solution?
@@harrytej yeah dealership quotes unless dealerships are scamming which I don't think they would do that to the American people
No headsup display 😢
Tuff pick
Can t wait for the 2026 HRV HYBRID in North America
Hump probably for exhaust
The hatch of this model is the only one we get in the UK. Not cheap, but great. Shame that the UK public are obsessed with the Golf, not great looking now and pretty much inferior in most ways.
I had a new Golf R for 4 months. Pure trash. Brilliant handling but a terrible car to live with
Toyota has awd going for it. I like Honda’s styling a lot more tho
Wow, sometimes I envy your job, but having to go to Montreal for this reveal was quite the punishment! Honda must really dislike you. Is the PR person worked at Subaru before?
I struggle to see much difference between the Accord and Civic at this point.
How come there's 3 "I's" in the thumbnail?
I wonder how will Toyota respond to this. Will we see a Toyota Corolla Hybrid with a more powerful drivetrain?
Honda put a base civic w hybrid, not 30k+ for a civic
When your basic commuter is around $30k, you're overpriced.
cars are no longer very affordable now...in 2000 people on minimum wage can buy a base civic
I had a 2010 Civic Hybrid as a company car for a short time (thankfully). It couldn’t get out of its own way. Slowest car I’d ever driven. It couldn’t even hold speed with cruise set on hills on the interstate. Great stereo though…
No spare tire? wtf I’ll pass
Battery is probably in the hump
Eawd is coming to honda hybrids confirmed
When is another story.
& why did u not ask him: the lack of LSD 😊
I can release the prices for these things but I won’t. Because ya’ll should wait just like everyone else :)
Cheers
Is this a Camry Hybrid commercial? All i got from this is same price less size and similar mpg to the Camry.
Fully loaded 2025 Camry Hybrid is 43k. Fully loaded 2025 Civic Hybrid is 33k. Civic is so big that it's around the same price as the Camry so I would save 10k and get the Civic
@@sachinnair91 who buys loaded eco boxes? Most people in this segment want the base model. Look at inventory and watch les dissappear and higher trims stack up
I may buy one to replace my Camry Hybrid in a few years!
Not a fan of the jay leno chin front bumper lol
This is a prototype so not final model
