It seems like the prices of new cars are always on the rise, and the 2025 Civic Sedan is no different. However, Honda has managed to keep the price increase modest for this updated sedan.
As before, the lineup for the 2025 Civic Sedan starts with the entry-level LX. This model features a 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine, delivering 158 horsepower and 187 Nm of torque. It is priced at $24,250, not including a $1,095 destination charge. This is a slight bump from the 2024 Civic Sedan LX, which started at $23,950.
For buyers wanting a bit more, there's the Civic Sedan Sport. Priced at $26,250, this model is just a bit more expensive than last year's $25,550. It comes with the same 2.0-liter engine as the LX but adds features like dark trim and 18-inch black alloy wheels.
The biggest news for 2025 is the introduction of a new hybrid powertrain, available in the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid models. These start at $28,750 and $31,750 respectively. Since the 2024 Civic Sedan didn’t offer a hybrid option, there’s no direct comparison, but for context, the EX and Touring models with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine were priced from $26,950 and $30,550 respectively.
The new hybrid system combines a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors, producing 200 horsepower and 315 Nm of torque. This gives it an edge over the old turbo 1.5-liter engine in terms of power. It’s also more efficient, with fuel economy ratings of 50 mpg in the city, 47 mpg on the highway, and 49 mpg combined.
Other changes for the 2025 model are minor but worth noting. The car is now available in four new colors: Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Gray Pearl, Blue Lagoon Pearl, and Sand Dune Pearl. Inside, there are now USB-C ports in the front row, and the Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies has been improved. Honda says that the Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist System are now smoother and feel more natural than before.
Overall, while the 2025 Civic Sedan does follow the trend of rising prices, Honda has managed to keep the increase small. With the addition of hybrid models and various upgrades, the 2025 Civic Sedan remains an attractive option for those seeking a blend of performance, efficiency, and modern features.
