There may not be a coupe in the current lineup for Martinsville, Danville, Rocky Mount, and Greensboro shoppers looking for that look, but the 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback could almost pass for one. The sloping roofline provides more than a hint of coupe style. Refreshed for the 2025 model year, the Honda Civic Hatchback now includes a hybrid powertrain that gives a certain famous Japanese rival a proper run for its money.
You don’t have to have a hybrid powertrain under the hood of your 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback, but two of the three available trim levels do feature that fuel-sipping unit. If a hybrid isn’t your thing, however, Honda still offers a gas-only base trim level in the shape of the Sport model. The mid-range Sport Hybrid model doesn’t cost much more than the base trim, and it’s easy to make a strong case for going straight to the top-of-the-range and choosing the Sport Touring Hybrid.
Although the 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport is gas-only, it uses pretty much the same gas engine as the two hybrid models. The engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit, which, in the case of the Sport trim level, develops 150 horsepower and 133 lb.-ft. of torque. The power goes to the front wheels through a CVT transmission with paddle shifters. However, it isn’t hard to see most shoppers opting for the Sport Hybrid or Sport Touring Hybrid instead. Although the 2.0-liter engine in the hybrid develops less horsepower than it does in the Sport trim level, adding an AC Synchronous Permanent-Magnet Electric Motor takes the combined output to a much more powerful 200 horsepower and 232 lb.-ft. of torque. If that extra power doesn’t seal the deal for you on the Honda Civic hatchback Hybrid, the fuel economy surely will. The non-hybrid Sport model is rated at a very credible 30 mpg in the city, 38 mpg on the highway, and 34 mpg combined. But the hybrid takes economy to new levels for Honda with 50 mpg in the city, 45 mpg on the highway, and 48 mpg combined.
The 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback interior is high quality, comfortable, and very well equipped. The seats are supportive but still comfortable for even the longest journeys. Sport trim level has good standard features, including a 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, 7.0-inch driver information interface, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto connectivity, Google built-in, Alexa built-in, an 8-speaker audio system, and climate control. However, the Sport Hybrid adds far more than just a hybrid powertrain. The Sport Hybrid adds an 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a one-touch power moonroof. The top-tier Sport Touring Hybrid gets you standard leather upholstery, rain-sensing wipers, a 4-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, a 10.2-inch driver information interface, a 9.0-inch touchscreen, a Bose Premium 12-speaker audio, HD radio, and wireless phone charging.
Adding such a sensational hybrid powertrain may have been a logical step for the 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback. However, you still have to admire the way Honda maintains the Honda Civic’s stature and excellence after so many years of unadulterated success.
