Hondas are still stuck in 90’s design a century ago. This will get smoke in 0-80, 1/2m, 80-0 by the Prius. On top of that, the Toyota will have a better reliability and resale value due to time tested powertrain refinements over the decades, while Honda is on their THIRD totally different design. Point is, Honda is totally inferior to Toyota in hybrids.

Toyota suspension is garbage. None of them are for off-road use unless you want to replace struts and shocks every time you go off-roading with them. They are just not built for off road usage and there is practically zero performance aftermarket for them. And no the gravel road to your cottage does not count as off roading.

Complete attempt to copy savagegeese with two reviewers discussing the product…Psst, it didnt work yo…

Auto buyers guide has had 4 reviewers (3 now), all of which have been males. Any chance of getting some female input soon? I love auto buyers guide but would love some diversity and varying experience/ opinions.

Next Mazda release for US market is cx60, same size as cx90 but this time without 2nd row

I have one of the first Ascents ever produced - a top trim 2019 model year Ascent built in mid-2018. Very happy with it. Towing capacity is a bit low for me, so I'll be looking for something with higher towing capacity

Si power but not Si handling or manual transmission. ❤ my '24 Si.

The Hatch will give serious competition to the Prius. So many of our customers want more space in their hybrid hatch & the Honda dealership is right next to our Toyota dealership... The game is on.

Will Tucson 2025 Limited have heads up display? Only Tucson 2024 PHEV used to have heads up display. But I am waiting for it to be available in Tucson Limited (non-hybrid version).

Something about the profile/styling just looks off to me, as it does with almost all Honda models/vehicles these days. Eye of the Beholder I suppose.

The price is a joke

It looks Honda is upping their game over Toyota, maybe Toyota will respond on their next Corolla. Competition is always good to see. Thanks for the great job! .

Alot nicer front bumper.

No plug in. No care. If im spending the coin I want some amount of EV only range.

Will there be an Integra hybrid ?

$30k 2025 Camry hybrid has a spare tire. WTF, Honda?

$15k markup and 1-3 year wait time

I'd like to see an offroad version for the Silverado and the Ram when it finally comes out.

How was the clearance for either of you under the open hatch? Did the tops of your heads brush up against the fully open hatch, or did it lift high enough to not bump your heads?

Finally. How long has Europe already had this. Glad they at least didn't insist on only selling a sedan version...

What a flop. only the 1% can buy it At 100k the plug will require an upgrade in the future. . . And 10k installed for the charger at home while I sleep. No gotta waist 1 hour every day to charge it People that pay 100k for a truck don't have 1hour to waste As a fashion statement and green statement and smart money a Toyota champ is 10k new another 10k to customize and you can go bankrupt

Love how they didn’t use an insanely massive screen like on the Accord hybrid

why would anyone get this instead of th 90 makes no sense

Can this be done on th Honda pilot ?

"the civic has always looked more... restrained" this guy must not know cars

Rear vents and charging ports is $100 kit and looks like you can put on yourself in about 20 minutes or so. No big deal not a deal killer.

Well this just killed the latest Accord. I regret my 23 Accord Touring now. Would have got one of these Sport Touring instead.

07:35 If you get an SE trim Corolla hybrid the tires aren’t much narrower than these are.

No apple carplay or android auto an to get the most out of the infotainment system there is a charge to use. They lost me after that.

Do all dual clutch transmissions make subtle noises and can feel the shifting? Especially on hills, where it hunts for a gear? My Kia Niro PHEV does this and apparently this is normal? If so, what an awful engineering decision. Any insight would be nice. This car sounds great. Wish they would do a plugin version with more unique styling.

So much fake ventialation 😢

Video is good, car is not .. That negative space between screen and buttons is too much bothering and not at all aesthetically pleasing

Love the cross-over. I'll have the RHO on my list for 2026 or 2027 after some time on the market and dealers stop any monster mark-up.

Eh better looking than the new Prius? While I agree, this generation Civic became more handsome than the last, it is relatively unexciting while the Prius looks exciting and fresh. The direction Toyota has taken the Corolla, Prius and Camry versus how the Civic and Accord have evolved has been interesting.. the Corolla is still a proper sized compact whereas the Civic is frankly a midsize now think which is evident by global sales, the Corolla thumps the Civic in virtually every market...they don't even bother selling the Civic in Japan anymore whereas the Prius and Corolla are still strong sellers there. The Civic and Accord have officially become cars for the US and China..

Don’t get too excited. Subscription based google rather than free apple CarPlay/android auto after 3 years

Since the waiting for a Prius is still about (ridiculous) 1 year, I might as well just wait for this Hatchback. Thank you!

Seat materials look cheap. Any other cost cutting?

Good riddance to the 1.5t.

I have been waiting for this car. HONDA

Front end kinda reminds me of the NXS Type S

Will be a great car - but PLEASE honda... address the super loud road noise that exists over 50mph (even on top touring trim). I have a 2023 and the Bose system is useless the road noise is so loud.

1:37 "The Civic has always looked a little bit more elegant and a little bit more restrained as far as its design..." ( Cue a Type R to use its giant wing to fly into the room, circling around Alex's head shouting _"WOOOOOOO, BRO!"_ )

I love my 2016 Veloster R-Spec. There are just two comments I'd like to make, one of which I suspect you will disagree with. IMHO, this car is a three door, with a hatch. The hatch is not a door. Secondly, 0-60 time is compromised a bit by the fact that you must shift to 3rd before your reach 60 mph.

It’s about damn time. Nice offering for a usable hatch mixed with great mpg.

the hybrid looks more aggressive than the Si, thats crazy lol. the 3 year data plan is a clear sign that reliability isnt there anymore or of interest for manufacturers and want you in a new model every 3 years like people have been saying and called crazy by people. again a 3 year "complimentary data" is very unnecessary for an infotainment system. they start off subtle. also their 1.5 dream works engine was breaking down fast compared to their previous engine model.

I preferred the 2.0 DOHC VTEC with 200HP over any 1.5 turbo.

A little of topic, the Insight (from 2019) can be considered as a hybrid version of the Civic. I was a bit disappointed that Honda didn't do an aerodynamic exterior styling like the 1st gen Insight since it looked similar to the Civic (I'm not saying the Civic looked bad). Even the Clarity should have been called the Insight (and should offer a regular hybrid powertrain along with the plug-in). I loved how the 1st gen Insight looked, so I'm not ruling out an Insight with a strange, yet futuristic aerodynamic design with potentially an EV powertrain, considering the move toward electrification of the industry. As for this Civic hybrid, it definitely will appeal to many people and can rival against the Corolla Hybrid and Prius. Overall, Honda did a good job on adding a new hybrid to their lineup.

If they can do a civic si hybrid I’ll be ok with that.

Thank you for a nice 2 row~ not everyone has 6 screaming children!

I know they'll never do it, but a manual hyrbrid hatchback would be an amazing daily
