Nice review as always. The 2025 LX and Sport have a different version of the K20 engine than 2022 to 2024 models. Newer engine is rated at better MPG. 2022 to 2024 K20C2 engine Port injected Otto Cycle 158HP@6500RPM MPG 30/37/33 (Sport) 2025 K20C9 engine Direct Injected Atkinson Cycle 150HP@6400RPM MPG 31/39/34 (Sport) If you freeze the video at 3:32 you can see it says K20C9 on the window sticker

[@Alumnikiid]

Thanks for info. Thought the new one was still port injection. Don’t want to deal with carbon buildup issues.

[@mikea5205]

Also, compression ratio is higher on the C9. I'm sure there are other changes Honda did that they don't really talk about or mention in the specs.

[@bigrig9749]

Looks better than the Accord

[@ashleymcilhargey7696]

Just bought this car and in this colour and I absolutely love it! Beautiful interior/exterior and drives so smoothly. Also has alot of safety features and settings you can change so its customized to what you like. Def would recommend this car

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

Congratulations on your purchase! enjoy

[@dane940]

Good job Honda on the new front. It looks great and adding blindspot is a smart move.

[@TomD1999]

I bought a 2025 sport touring 2 weeks ago but was extremely lucky to find one. I had to travel 2 states away and there was only one. Lucky me that it's the one I wanted. One sport touring within 300 miles of the Florida Panhandle, in Mississippi!. Several dealerships told me they were sold way before the cars came in and the dealer would put me on a waiting list.

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

Same here pre sold before arriving. I finally was able to make a video on one and it sold right after

[@jjacob25101]

It's nice that the 2025 Civic Sport has the blind spot monitoring, rear seat center fold down armrest with cup holders. Also the legal smoke window tint on all the window glass aft of the front doors, like the HR-V Sport and I believe EX-L. The smoke tint reverse light lenses are a nice touch. And yes, no spare tire in the hybrid models for weight savings and I believe the battery is there. Downsides include the no engine coolant temperature gauge and wimpy horn in addition to the less than stellar acceleration from stop or low speeds. The College Hills Honda website has a $40 horn upgrade kit, along with neoprene key fob covers in different colors and inexpensive, you can buy several to replace when it gets worn out. K Tuner has a flash upgrade package that can bring the power up to at least that if the 1.5L turbo. Of course, it may affect your warranty. There is also the Pedal Commander which is easy to install and remove, plugs into the connector for the gas pedal and has variable settings for improved torque response. IMHO, the optional black exterior emblems should be standard with the Sport Trim. Overall still a great car, albeit the acceleration is not great, but the reliability and longevity is always a plus as opposed to the problematic 1.5L turbo engine. Of course, meticulous maintenance, oil change every 5K miles, warning up the engine before and cooling down at idle after hard driving, and not abusing the car will increase engine life, though not as much as the non turbo engine. Another reason for the slight reduction of horsepower is to get a slightly improved MPG, since the Hybrids have a lot better mileage ratings. Actual MPG subject to condition of car, driving mode and driver. The safety system camera is now only at the windshield rear view mirror, but I believe the Acuras still have some of the equipment at the grille emblem.

Great job bro & I can't wait to try this car out.

Thank you for this presentation!

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

You are welcome

[@texasmade9727]

Can’t wait for you to do the 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring!

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

Coming soon

[@disciplitionn]

quick question, how would you recommend to get the emblems blacked out?

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

⁼ I would have the dealership handle it. I will hold the dealership accountable if there are any installation problems. Go for it if you are able of doing it yourself.

[@jjacob25101]

​@@ShakeemWalkaroundIMHO The Sport trims should come with the optional black emblems included. You can also get the black Hybrid emblem, surprisingly not the black Touring emblem, but College Hills Honda has it, along with the $40 horn upgrade kit, those key fob covers and some other accessories. There's several DIY videos for changing the emblems if you want to do it yourself. I plan to get an Urban Grey Pearl FWD HR-V Sport, be a use it is a little more practical for me, but I would not mind having the Sport Touring Hybrid as a second car, or even this Sport with the 2025 updates. It's a nice car for the money, with a lot of aftermarket performance or customization items available. I would get the Blue Lagoon in the sedan, grey seats for the Hybrid Sport Touring, or Boost Blue Pearl in the Hatchback or the Urban Grey Pearl for either as a second choice.

[@ADJ161996]

Beautiful

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

I agree

[@LIMEBIRST]

Cool 👍I can’t wait for you to do the hybrid sport and the sport touring

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

Comimg soon

[@nate1971]

This is likely the first time I’m actually liking the pre refresh better than what we are looking at here. The “predator” face is a little strange to me.

[@tomhockman6267]

Honda seems really slow to get the Civic hybrids out to dealers. They said it went on sale in June but in Columbus Ohio in mid-July there are no dealers with any Civic hybrids in stock.

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

They should’ve said you can reserve one starting in June.

[@MattMcGrathOfficial]

I foresee markups on them when they arrive as well. I’m possibly in market for one, but won’t pay any markups.

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

I don’t have mark ups but can’t speak for other dealerships

I will once I receive one

[@jaimerosas1458]

My 2025 civic sports came without mud flaps. How can I purchase them or should I go back to the dealership???? Please help !

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

Splash guards are accesories you can add at your local dealership or order them and install your self

[@jaimerosas1458]

@@ShakeemWalkaround Thank you so much

[@masterkinglee]

I love it but the dealership in my state are selfish and want more than $8K markup!

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

That’s crazy

[@GfrmdaBrnx]

In my opinion it’s a good change but from a distance the front corners look like big cracks or bumper damage.

[@user-ue6fp8rg2i]

Please realize that Consumer Reports states this car has noisy cabin and is uncomfortable. I have the touring version and the road noise is so bad it kills your ears. Volkswagen, Mazda and Toyota figured it out in the same price category and offer a better commuter experience. This car is "fun" to drive in the 1.5T version yes, perhaps in the hybrid version as well but the trade off is road noise, it is really bad. Test drive this car before buying to see if it bothers you. Also no lumbar support and no passenger seat height adjustment (even in the highest trim). !!!

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

The Sport Civic’s are not the quietist. More soundproofing and a quieter ride are features of the hybrid. You must get an Integra if you want lumbar support. The passenger seat in a Civic is never adjustable in height, Honda reserves that for Acura as well.

[@barbz_zayne]

Jetta is 100% the best option in the compact category if you don't keep a car longer than 100-120k miles, Mazda would be immaculate if there weren't build quality issues and Toyota is just sluggish and basic for a premium price

[@ShakeemWalkaround]

Although the Jetta is a good car, its resale value is significantly less than that of Honda, Toyota, and Mazda. They become extremely inexpensive used cars, and maintenance costs are also significantly higher than those three.

[@user-ue6fp8rg2i]

@@ShakeemWalkaround I agree with all those points. It will have to come down to individual preference, Hondas have always been reliable with lower maintenance. The 2.0L engine is going to definitely be more reliable than my 1.5T although I have had 0 issues with mine over the first year of ownership. I just wanted to raise a few points that are not often discussed in videos.

[@barbz_zayne]

@@ShakeemWalkaround i would personally rather take the Jetta and take care of it to get the best of resale value i can get and have a much, much better experience than i would get with something else in the segment. Mazda would be my second choice

[@josephbustemante5475]

Honda needs to stop with that ugly ass white strip on the seats it doesn’t look good at all

[@impaler83]

Coming from a 10th gen sport hatch, this is another downgrade. Now down to 150 horsepower. A base corolla is faster than this…

[@bernandoturner4840]

No its Not.. Its 158 Horse Power😂

That’s not a downgrade

Civics are packaged differently in the US and Canada. The Canadian version has more features than the American one. So you sill have those features
