This is not what I expected to see this early in the morning but i will take it!

[@tomhockman6267]

Overall, I like the Civic Hybrid a lot. The lack of vents and power adapters in the rear is inexcusable, though. Honda is really cheapening out on things consumers expect to be standard and would not even have raised the cost to build by very much. Why does Honda think Sport models of the Accord and Civic don't need rear comforts?

[@ahmedshahab4105]

Keep in mind the model in the video os supposed to be the top trim for this new Civic Hybrid.

[@paullansville]

I got my eyes on the sedan version for sure as it would be very ideal for my commute.

Great in depth spec review of the Civic ! Having driven 3 Hondas in my life before I moved on to luxury vehicles I have to admit I always look back to the impressive Honda instrumentation , fit and finish and smooth ride!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Fantastic video!

[@Fun_Plum_]

Finally! First video out, thank you for the excellent content! Definitely will look into the hybrid trims for my first car in my late 20's. I am curious, what do others./ car confections view as the best trim for the money? Still the sport trim?

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! It'll probably still be the Sport that offers the most value but we won't know for sure until Honda releases final pricing

[@d3j0n]

im so glad they are adding black headliners🙌🏽

[@MrPootzen]

Hatchback looks slick! 😎

[@dwu9369]

I've been looking for crossovers but this is a good looking car that I wouldn't mind getting. I like the 90s style front and European looking rear end on the hatch.

[@darriontunstall3708]

It looks alright!!!

[@InvestWithAlex]

over 30 grand is wild. Fully loaded corolla hybrid starts under 30k lol

[@Erdie5]

Hard to say how much this will matter to Honda. Compact sedans peaked in 2015-2017 and have been in freefall ever since. Awesome or not, it's just a segment not many people buy anymore. The other elephant in the room is that the 51 city/53 highway Camry Hybrid is also under $30,000.

[@planefan5812]

Exactly. I'd rather spend $2K-$3K more and get a Camry XSE.

[@ahmedshahab4105]

Top trim Camry(XSE & XLE) brand new is around 40k​@@planefan5812

[@jgriffin411]

Ditto!

[@dakkon74]

I love that new blue color with the light interior. But I am sad it appears there is no heated steering wheel. Also, I wonder if Honda finally gave the car proper tire pressure sensors, like all the other manufacturers. The price gap with the new Camry is getting tight, and I may lean that way. Feel like you may get more for the money.

[@DkpProductions]

Honda uses wheel speed sensors by the wheel bearings to calculate tire pressure instead of TPMS sensors... Unfortunately I think it's going to be like that for a long time

[@dakkon74]

@@DkpProductions But it does not give you a direct pressure readout. I only can detect one wheel is spinning differently than the others. So basically, if all four wheels are two lbs under pression, it will not tell you.

[@LlyleHunter]

The problem with Honda’s tire pressure sensors is that you’re constantly needing to go to the dealership to have them to shut the damn light on the dashboard off even after you’ve checked the tires.

[@dakkon74]

@@LlyleHunter Yeah, I had similar issues with my last Civic. They really need to stop being cheap, and just start uses proper sensors that give actual pressure readouts.

[@SKC-tu3ld]

Is the knee space at the back seat based on your driving preference seat setting?

[@andrefrbk]

Buying it. Cant find a prius in my spec. This will work.

[@pranavdubey7690]

Love from Canada. The new Blue colour is just amazing, the only thing missing in the new Honda Civic is AWD. All wheel drive was the must to beat the Toyota Corolla.

[@alexandermaliy3515]

Hope Honda someday make 4wd sport hybrid civic version to compete golf R and corolla gr cross. Great changes!

[@Sossaup]

[@937553]

What's the price? Is the dark blue only on the hybrid?

[@ag2158]

Will there be an exhaust for the gas sport model?

[@GaganDoodle]

Nice❤

[@scottanthony3426]

Looks nice. Not sure why they skimped out on not having lumbar support. For those who want most of the comfort of an Accord but don't need an ocean liner, this would fit the bill. Still not over excited about the lack of a spare. Tire repair kits are dandy until you gash a tire and have to wait not only for a tow, but for a tire shop to open, before you can move your car. They did this on the CRV too. Honda hasn't figured out how to package a hybrid system with a spare tire yet. The power is in Civic Si range, but I suspect it has gained weight too. The real test will be the drive. Hope they worked on a good suspension. If they can make a nice handling hybrid, that would create their own unique niche (in the affordable car range).

[@burnlikeneon4044]

Yeah, I usually use my donut tire about one a year or so. It would definitely suck to be stranded.

[@deejay6752]

I really like the hatchback model, colors offered, now if the car stood higher off of the ground (about 6 inches) to get in and out of the car easier. I used to be a faithful Honda buyer from years 1990 to 2008 but I just can't buy a Honda today. I'm not a fan of the small engines, CVT transmissions and the car sits too low to the ground.

[@economicsandelasticy696]

Crazy that is priced on oar to the new camry which will get you more of a car

[@EvendimataE]

i prefer the hatch for having more flexible cargo space

[@MrTmenzo]

2 electric motors, 2.0 liter engine and 50mpg. Is this using the new Prius engine as a shared platform or something the specs are identical.

[@chadoooz]

The front bumper lookss waayyyyy better. I kinda wanna convert mines to that 😂

[@leoneltorres4442]

I always wait for the mid generation refresh when getting cars for the cosmetic reasons THANK GOD LOL😂😂😂

[@NovaPrincess]

Wow this looks incredible! Toyota really needs to upgrade the new Prius because fuel economy is now so standard among hybrids, and the hatchback isn't enough to make the Prius stand out. I still prefer hatchback to sedan for my lifestyle, but I love the 4th gen I currently have and don't see value in upgrading to the 5th gen Prius.

[@ryanwilliams4561]

I’m quite curious what the 2025 Honda Accord refresh will look like and what changes Honda would bring. I’m patiently waiting for the refreshed 2026 Honda Pilot, which will hopefully have the 12 inch infotainment system with Google.

[@daddyj6931]

I’m also super excited to see what the 2025 Honda Accord Touring will look like!!! Right now I’m working on my license and saving up for either the 2022 Honda Accord Touring 2.0T for the speed and luxury, aswell as the gorgeous front bumper😍 or the more classy and simplistic 2024 Accord Touring for the 12 speakers and massive screen aswell as the slower engine but much better MPG😍

[@Nitrofish72]

Nice color

[@mikefreemanjazz]

Does anyone know if the back seats on the sedan fold down? The video of the trunk area looks like they might. Edit: I went back and think I heard that they do fold down.

[@poppag9326]

You guys do great reviews. I was just wondering how Honda can build a car and not know what it will cost??

[@CarConfections]

They just don't want to say yet. A lot of brands withhold pricing info until right before the model becomes available at dealerships for some reason

[@jeschr3462]

This is a grand slam for Honda no doubt. Its gonna be much faster than the Corolla hybrid, has more leg room, better styling (imo), has very good mpg, better handling, better tech/infotainment, better audio, and much more cargo room with the hatchback. Although its a slight let down with the lack of rear AC vents or rear USB-c ports. And the hump in the rear leg room area is a little too big (imo).

[@enriquet548]

I like it but the base Camry appeals to me more

[@alexandermaliy3515]

[@collin_mmarshall1655]

Love the refreshed Civic. Simplicity yet clean and elegant inside out. I'll take the hatch for sure. Too bad in the country I lived in the stupid government imposes 300% tax on fully imported cars,making it similar to 3 series and c class price range.

[@GoldPeakLLC]

What country is that? And how can you afford a 300% tax? Isn’t that 3x more? So, around 90k?

[@collin_mmarshall1655]

@@GoldPeakLLC Malaysia. The new Civic hatch here is about 85k (USD) because it's categorized as a complete build-up (fully imported) from Japan. Unless if I get the sedan which is way cheaper at 32k because it's locally assembled. It's not worth it throwing away 85k for a small Honda hatch. A 3series or c-class is about 75k-80k (locally assembled). Nonsense tax regime.

[@GoldPeakLLC]

@@collin_mmarshall1655gotcha makes sense. I’m in the states and people here would riot if import taxes were that high even for a new build. There are incentives if cars are locally built here but mainly for the companies. I would definitely get the sedan then. Honda is reliable and cheaper to maintain versus the bmw. You must be well to do though if you were considering an 85k car nonetheless.

[@collin_mmarshall1655]

@@GoldPeakLLC Nope. I would definitely not get a bmw or merc. It's for someone that has more cash and time to be wasted in the service center. People would think I'm driving my dad's car if I drive a bmw. Furthermore the huge nostril is too scary. Lol

[@stanleetfk3823]

No rear vents, no rear usb ports, no lumbar support, no 360, better engine on top trim only, etc....Classic Honda...

[@webcomment8895]

“Under $30K” is too high for starting price of a base hybrid if that means $29K. The 2025 Camry LE hybrid starts at around that price and is larger with likely similar fuel economy, if not better than what the Civic hybrid will have.

[@creepingbert]

You'd think that by the 2025 model year, Honda (and others) would have an infotainment screen that isn't an I-Pad glued to the top of the dash. It looks silly and not very well thought out.

[@juanperez-yu6du]

Also, Honda really can't claim "no compromise" on the cargo capacity of the Hybrid, since they eliminate the spare tire on just their Hybrid models. I'd say that is a BIG compromise.
