2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Hatchback - POV Review

[@CODE-BROWN]

I picked up the Sport Touring Hybrid based specifically on your sedan review. Cool seeing the hatchback on here considering that's what I got. Currently on second tank of gas, averaging 48mpg with a solid mix of city and highway driving. My previous car was a '23 Civic Sport hatchback so I was able to compare apples to apples between the refresh and Sport Touring upgrade. Besides the obvious improvement in MPG's, the ride is significantly quieter at all speeds, I can drive with the stereo at a lower volume and that's nice. The stereo is a huge upgrade over the Sport, I love it. Seats are more comfortable and the heated option makes cold mornings bearable. Power is much more noticeable, with the gas Sport, it felt like it struggled to get out of it's own way. Not the case with the Hybrid. Google built-in is amazing! As soon as I press the start button, it's playing my music and displaying the map. No delay whatsoever. Not sure how it works with Carplay or iPhones. Also, with the front wheel off, it'll fit my 29" full suspension bike in the back without an hassle. I was able to fit 2 mountain bikes in it last week. For reference, it's the same length as a CR-V Hybrid, you just lose the height. We have a '23 CR-V and I've measured it.

[@ericcarson342]

I've heard people getting 32-25 mpg. Do you drive gently on eco-mode? I'm wondering if those people are gunning it on sport mode. One person admitted to driving in very cold weather.

[@CODE-BROWN]

@@ericcarson342 I drive it in normal mode and I live in Florida.

[@ericcarson342]

@@CODE-BROWN Thanks. I test drove the sport touring hybrid hatch. This car is quick. But I noticed on the cluster it was averaging 28 mpg. But car only had 120 miles.

[@gearheadtechnology]

Why would you buy a 30k+ brand new car based on one persons review? That seems a bit excessive to me.. lol

[@pillred5974]

@ I have had mine in England for a year now and average 56mpg over the last 5000 miles, it is a lot better in warmer weather but even now in January, it's averaging 48mpg so you can take 10% of that in America because your gallon is less than our imperial gallon, there is no way you would get 28mpg unless you were towing the Statue of Liberty lol.

[@Teedeelee]

As an owner of the 2022 hatchback, I will say in regarding to the road noise that the second that I replaced the Goodyear Eagle Sports that came with the car with Perelli P zeros the noise DRASTICALLY improved.

[@wackyklinger602]

Honda's newest hybrid generation is the only modern Honda that impresses me with a quality driving experience. Since the non hybrid models are so vague, I wish they were at least as smooth as the hybrid models, even though they have one of the smoothest CVTs on sale.

[@Jesse-x4o]

[@mrniceguy7168]

I think a lot of people will emotionally disagree with you because their definition of a “quality” driving experience is a “fun” driving experience but you’re right. I have a ‘24 Accord and it is so refined. Not fun, but amazing.

[@FrankOsman]

Define "quality driving experience." I'm having a blast every day rowing gears in my 2023 Integra, and it is very much something I would consider to be a quality driving experience, even 60,000 miles later. I think everything Honda is doing is noteworthy nowadays, Hybrids and all. It may not be what they used to be, but they've still got it.

[@mjkarger89]

I doubt there's a dramatic difference from pre facelift. My 22 Touring is very fun to drive.

You'll love it. I feel like my 10th gen is a huge step up from my wife's 9th gen and my older 6th gen. Still fuel efficient, luxurious and fun to drive with the increased power levels. Size is almost similar to a mid-size sedan too

[@falcon1378]

I'm a big fan of the new Civics. I think it's well-rounded and something I'd definitely consider when the day comes that I need a sensible vehicle. One thing I can appreciate is the power level, and based on the video, the powertrain seems to drone a lot less than the Toyotas you've reviewed lately.

[@markfisher2683]

P.s. Also, as the title indicates "Hybrid Hatchback", i would have appreciated perhaps just a little bit of comparison of the two Hybrid Hatchback trims (touring AND sport) , for those of us who don't need (or wish) to afford to "top spec" trim- specifically, WHY anyone would want to pay $3000 dollars more for the touring vs. the sport Hybrid;).

[@mattkroening7964]

The ‘14 Accord Hybrid I had was the first iteration of this hybrid system. I ended up test driving an LS460 at one point when I owned the Accord. Obviously the LS has a softer and quieter ride, but I left being kind of surprised at how much activity you felt in the transmission. Once you get used to electric motor-based power delivery, it’s amazing how even the smoothest automatic transmissions feel awkward in comparison.

[@waltfraher7198]

As a long time Honda and Civic SI customer and owner, this new hybrid system for the Civic is impressive-- the best of both worlds with SI levels of power, more torque, and better fuel economy. It's almost like having an SI without the manual transmission. With this hybrid option for the Civic moving forward, I hope Honda will still offer a 12th gen Civic SI with manual transmission.

[@ShaiyanHossain]

@@ShaiyanHossain 360 cameras & adjustable lumbar support. The later is especially noticeable since the Civic's seats are so much softer than the 3's. Adjustable lumbar support will make the Civic seats more suitable for long hours stuck in traffic. And Civic needs better door/window seals. Cabin is quiet overall, but that just makes the wind noise stand out more. Hence hoping the Integra gets the hybrid and can address all of these.

In sport mode, the regen braking settings stay on, don't ask me why they don't do it in the other settings.

There are efficiency losses when you convert kinetic energy into battery power via regen then turn battery power back to kinetic energy via the traction motor. Overall, you get better mileage without regen slowing the car when you lift off the the throttle.

They already said they plan on using E-AWD for their hybrids that use AWD but not sure if they they’re offering it on more vehicles or just using E-AWD on the current hybrids that have mechanical AWD.

[@EUC-lid]

230lb-ft at the electric motor is not the same thing as at the axle. Take the torque figure of an older ICE Civic, then multiply it by the 1st gear ratio and then again by the final drive ratio. A 1995 Civic that makes about 100lb-ft at the flywheel sends ~385lb-ft out of first gear and the final drive quadruples that, for nearly 1,500lb-ft into the axles. This new Hybrid is likely putting out about 1,859lb-ft to the axles at a stop, tapering as the motor speeds increase (with vehicle speed). Comparing torque figures of electric motors & ICEs with wildly incomparable final drive ratios is just apples & oranges.

[@sambitdas9416]

The engine alone doesn't make 200 hp... It's the combined peak output.

[@EUC-lid]

The final drive motor makes 181hp. All FWD 2-motor Honda hybrids since the 2014 Accord PHEV have had 181hp. Every other figure is theoretical marketing speak. The end. The ICE can be connected to the final drive by a wet clutch at low throttle (cruising) inputs, but there’s never a situation where the engine will be coupled to the drive wheels while providing max torque at the same time as the electric motor is sending max torque. At any sporting accelerator pedal positions the ICE is going to rev to provide generator power for the traction motor. Theoretically the ICE clutch could lock up near top speed and provide the mythical HP figure, but nobody buys a car based on how much power it makes at 114mph. Every other 230hp car makes 230hp at 30mph (assuming a normal top of 1st gear). All that said, they accelerate like they have the stated HP because of the uninterrupted electric torque, so nobody is going to feel cheated.

[@EUC-lid]

The rest of the world and Honda’s upper level vehicles in North America still get the pushbutton shifter. It’s different, not weird, and it has some great features built in. For instance, it will automatically go into Park when you turn the car off, and it will automatically shift to Park if you attempt to drive away from a stop with a door open. Also, the buttons allow for more storage space (phone cubby underneath) in the console while the lever needs that space for the fulcrum. They also don’t block any controls in the center stack. The lever isn’t moving a cable anymore. It’s just a different method of pressing switches. Complete fake joystick for most modern cars of the past 2 decades.

Another reason for me to continue driving my 2016 civic!

You can buy a spare for the sedan but for some reason it won't fit in the hatch.

That cop car was vintage…a 1963 Ford Galaxie, I think.
