[@KirkKreifels]

Don't pass on the Kia Niro Hybrid either! To me, the Niro hybrid competes better with the Corolla Cross Hybrid. What do you think?!

[@blackgold754]

It doesn’t have parking sensors or 360 camera. Still good but in this age, where cars are getting bigger and parking spots smaller, these features are almost necessity. I’d still consider Kia niro hybrid tho. The only thing is I hope they make car more quieter as time goes on. It still has more tech than Corolla though and receives more mpg than Corolla. My only problem is that if I buy a h6brid, I might consider Toyota just because of their reliability. By then, I also hope that Corolla undergoes a new design as well.

[@wulongchai]

wonder if you gonna do a review on 2024 hyundai sonata hybrid?

[@JWFas]

If the Niro had an e-AWD option, it would probably stomp the Corolla Cross Hybrid in overall value.

[@realtalk5931]

Kia? Hard pass

[@ogjk]

I would agree with that assessment, ecspecially if you only plan on owning the new KIA for the warrenty duration.

[@JoVERICAIN]

I'm going to tell you, I drove this car a little more than one year ago (I'm based in France). This vehicle is just amazing, like really good. It's better than the compact Corolla overall. But .... We have the Corolla touring sports that sells like hotcakes all over Europe! And I can testify that as good as the civic is, it doesn't get on Toyota's way at all. It doesn't take away the quality of the car! It's simply great! And I would recommend it to absolutely anyone who doesn't want a Corolla! Edit : drove it more than a year ago

[@rightlanehog3151]

The Corolla Touring Sports is the one to get. Too bad Honda stopped making their Civic wagon a few years ago.

[@JoVERICAIN]

@@rightlanehog3151 it really depends on your needs. I've had the Corolla, and I test drove the Civic. Both of them are amazing, the Civic interior is nicer, same for the multimedia system. It's also a tad wider, but in the end, the Corolla touring sports fits me better to move my family!

I heard Honda was doing crap in Europe, apparently only around 56k sales last year in EU vs Toyota’s +350k sales.

[@JWFas]

With the production volume of 80k/year, I bet discounts will be much easier to come across than the competitors. It's probably a move for Honda to regain market share.

[@stanleetfk3823]

Highly doubt you will get discounts, especially this year. Probably next year when availability will be higher

[@benwith1n528]

Was almost sold on the new Accord but couldn't stomach what they did to the exterior. Now I'm just waiting on the Civic hybrid and will most definitely get a hatch. The Corolla can't compete with this, and the Prius is lacking interior volume. Plus, Toyota dealers still trying to tack on markups + their little TSRP BS, and I just don't want to support that behavior.

[@JogBird]

i saw a civic the other day and thought it was an accord at first, its so massive now, and there are no small runabouts from honda

[@KirkKreifels]

Rip fit, old civics

[@rusack7174]

The Fit?

[@jn9604]

My sister still drives a 2001 Honda Civic sedan and loves it. She thought it might be time for a new car so I took her to look at the 2023 Civic and after about 5 minutes with it she decided that she liked her car better. IMHO there hasn't been a great Civic after the 2005 model year. Everything after that is dull and boring and/or too big and or has a CVT and now almost no manual transmissions and most trim levels in Canada have a moonroof which means no headroom. I don't even look at Civic any more and I was a loyal and satisfied Civic owner for years. I had a 1981 4 door hatchback manual trans, a 1987 CRX manual trans (best Civic ever) , a 2002 Civic Coupe manual trans and a 2005 Acura RSX manual trans (which was just a fancy Civic with a bit more HP). I am hoping to buy my sister's Civic when she sells it and put some money into to it to fix it up. It still has the original clutch in it after 24 years!

if you know hondas you can easily tell the diffrence between a civic or a accord.

[@brandonperlow9091]

My friend got a new Prius, and its a great looking car. However Im 6'1 and big, and the rakish windshield made it difficult to get in the front passenger side of the car. I wouldnt want to even try getting in the drivers seat. I have a '22 civic sedan, and the car is much more comfortable and easier to get inside. Im looking forward when the lease ends later this year to get a '25 hatch. I think the usuablity, size, and handling of the car(not to mention good styling) will make this car a top seller. Hondas only mistake was not releasing this car when they had one in Europe. Honda is always reactive not proactive, which is why in the long run, they will never outsell toyota.

[@ms.b9093]

The only issue with the new Civic is that it sits very low, so you literally drop yourself into it.

[@brandonperlow9091]

@@ms.b9093 its a little bit of an issue, but otherwise the car's roof has space for me and someone taller. Seat has good range of motion for a variety of sizes. The cars low center of gravity also helps its driving dynamics which is pretty good for its class of car. Only VWs have better dynamics, and their lack of quality isnt worth it for me.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Kirk, Your Civic Hybrid preview is so astute and detailed, you can probably skip the first drive event.😉😉 If Honda can justify a Civic hybrid hatch for our market, maybe Toyota will bring their Corolla hybrid hatch as well. 🤔

[@damilolaakanni]

The version of the Corolla they need to bring to North America is the wagon. Very few Americans buy wagons though, unfortunately. If they make the Corolla wagon (especially in hybrid variant) in North America, there will definitely be people who would be interested.

[@ranthony2714]

I agree, I hope the hatch is more inspiring then the Corolla hybrid sedan. It is slow!

[@tgenesis8784]

​@@damilolaakanni Facts I wish the US got the wagon.

It would be weird to me if no version of the 2025 Civic Hybrid can get at least 50MPG. The 2019-2022 Insight EX could get 52MPG combined and that was pretty much the equivalent of a Civic Hybrid.

[@PreludeSon]

I currently drive a 3rd Gen Insight. When i get a new car in the summer/fall of 2025, it will be one of these! I absolutely love my Insight! In New England winters with winter tires, i get 40mpg average. In the summer with energy efficiency tires with light weight rims I average 50mpg. Jusy regulat maintenance at the Honda dealer. I have about 90k miles so far. Honda knows how to make Hybrids! Count me in for a 2025 left over model or a new 2026 in the summer/fall of next year!

I have a $700+ car payment, oh wow, what luxury car are you driving. Well, it's a CIVIC!!! Not even joking, top of the line current Touring model already carries a $700+ payment up here in Canada. I can only imagine the Hybrid Touring will cost even more.

[@stanleetfk3823]

It's brutal. I live in ON and still rocking my 14 civic ex . One reason is the stupid 7.5 % interest rate. But I will probably pre order the civic Hybrid, although us Canadiens we will for sure get screwed at pricing. There will be probably 2 trims in Canada Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid. Both over 40k. Honda will take advantage on pricing due to the fact that they will be available compared to the competition. Toyota , Hyundai , have huge manufacturing problems, wait time for their Hybrids is well over one year.

[@DkpProductions]

And no AWD! THATS IT. IM GETTING ME A HORSE AND BUGGY.

[@PSIJOE]

I'm just waiting for the Civic hybrid hatchback to be released and I'm buying one. However, I keep asking myself if I should just wait for more updates on the Prelude and potentially wait another year (Hopefully not much longer) and just get that. Although that would make me lose so much practicality. I do own a truck, but a nice big hatchback is hard to beat for the longer drives while carrying things that don't need a truck. I'm so back and forth. Lol I'm super excited about the Civic Hybrid though.

[@ranthony2714]

I am sure it will be a great car. Hopefully the price will not be too high. When you talk about the hybrid models that are selling well, I wonder how people afford most new vehicles. Honda's pricing is getting out of control.

[@bobbyjones2112]

All the ones you have there the civic without a doubt because I used to own a Honda Civic sport touring hatch. I only had to sell it because my dogs medical bills, but it was an awesome car so I’m going with Honda.

[@islanddon865]

Good update. In our household. 0-60 times are kinda useless for a daily driver. City MPG is king. Not speed. If you need the speed, Prius. If you are concerned about gas consumption, Corolla. Both offer AWD. I guess my choices are down to two.

Id pass on the more expensive AWD and I live in MN winters. Maintenance is more, repairs will be alot more, gas is a little worse. Those tiny cars have such low clearance, before AWD would be very effective, you will bottom out in snow from the few inches of ground clearance. I've watched a bunch of videos where they actually think snow tires in the winter make a bigger difference than AWD.

It still amazes me that Honda is still a big seller in the USA. Here in Australia, sales of Hondas, right across the range, have absolutely tanked. Honda has dropped to position 20 in the sales race and had their lowest sales since 1995. Honda Australia seems to have just given up despite having a relay good range of vehicles. I’ve been considering buying a Civic e-HEV (that’s the hybrid model) for nearly a year but have held back for fear that Honda may well pull out of Australia altogether. That would be a real pity as the Civic hybrid is a really competent hatchback. You guys are gonna love it.

​@@Eugen-E204 horsepower figure is somewhat theoretical - The gasoline engine would not be able to directly power the wheels until close to 100 MPH. Therefore, if you can get close to the vehicle's 110 MPH top speed, you could use the full horsepower that Honda quotes

Smooth all the way compared to the kia Hyundai 1.6turbo hybrid, which without ev support at low speed can feel really rough. But the 1.6turbo does have more power, (just really either too much or too little without ev) up to around 250hp in their newest cars, around 230hp in current cars.

[@signpost5596]

Here is Vancouver BC Canada, the Prius Prime SE is ~$42000. Taxes are 12%, rebates (Provincial + Federal) are $7000. Out the door price is therefore ~$40000. It's arguably a better buy then the regular Prius (less power but has AWD) which has no government incentives. A loaded Civic hatchback is ~$37000. So I think the Prius Prime, with superior performance and efficiency, is very competitive here against other compact cars in that price range.

Hybrid volume - well remember it is all about supply, and they have very few "full electric" consuming all those resources. They have - I think correctly - skipped over the new Toyota Prius (I have only seen one on flatbed truck) and gone more towards what Corolla and Elantra Hybrid thinking - tweak it out of the sedan platform to (hopefully) not make it silly expensive which sorry folks, defeats it economic reason for existing - so you sell the farm to save the cow and feel good about yourself. When I looked at the Elantra (this is not so much the case now because of demand) but it used to be about $2000 more which - cram the number and what you are getting and it suddenly is "this makes very good sense .. if you can get one at the normal price, and if you have that little bit extra money".

Civic hybrid is really tempting, but no AWD and subpar highway fuel efficiency make it difficult to choose over the Prius. I live in Canada and will need to use highway roads a decent amount in the coming years. Other than that, the Civic beats out the Prius in driving feel and dynamics, sound system, usable space and I think cabin noise as well. If only Honda put some effort into gearing it for the highway properly and perhaps AWD it would be the perfect package.

[@Sacto1654]

I really hope the Civic Hybrid uses the same 181 bhp hybrid drivetrain as the current European Civic Hybrid hatchback. I don't want the Civic to use the old hybrid drivetrain from last model Honda Insight, which was frugal on fuel but quite a bit noisy on acceleration.

Honda needs better quality-control and testing before they should release more vehicles

[@davewilson7602]

Most of their quality control issues seem to be from 2017-2020 cars, the newer stuff has so far been less problematic

[@chhoyla]

⁠​⁠@@davewilson7602Nope, the newest vehicles have a plethora of issues. Head gasket leaks, rattles, leaking hatches, and now two separate issues affecting the steering rack. A recall issued for improper installation and another NHTSA investigation into sticky steering which has caused 13+ accidents with owners being stranded with loaners for months.

[@faheemabbas3965]

Going to the 1.5T seems to be their biggest mistake so far…

[@tomcharbonneau9788]

I agree, i dumped my 17 Ridgeline because of too many issues at 95,000 miles. The quality has dropped considerably, I will stick with Toyota.

[@srobeck77]

@@tomcharbonneau9788 really? we have a 07 Ridgeline with no major problems at 160k miles.

Needs a plug in hybrid so gas use minimal for most in daily driving. And enough regen for one pedal driving. Perhaps put electric motor in rear for AWD.

[@srobeck77]

Pruis is what your looking for if starting your garage on fire from plugging it in is what your after.

[@DkpProductions]

Honda certainly needs to put electric motors in the rear... Acura did it on the RLX Hybrid by putting the NSX front motors in the back. Unfortunately sedans are gone and it was too expensive.

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada have you ever been to the honda manufacturing plant in Alliston Ontario it's definitely worth the visit I have been 4 times the tours are available during regular business hours no weekends thanks for the presentation, my sister lives in Vancouver bc and she's on the list for the honda prologue entry model

[@livinthedublife]

A Civic Hybrid SI would be awesome.

[@Hernsama]

A civic hybrid Type R would be awesome.

[@theholt2ic219]

Might happen with the 12th gen

[@srobeck77]

Sounds kinda like an oxymoron. So you get a hybrid to for better mph. But the SI gets awful mpg, plus makes you use premium 91 gas too.

[@ryanballard6427]

In Europe, the Civic only has 14 cubic feet of space in the hatchback with the seats up which is pretty disappointing. I hope we don't lost that much cargo on the American model

[@admin-ts8uv]

Yes for google built in id switch, i hate how slow my 2022 touring is to startup, i would make the change if it gets a bit more power too and google built-in. If not ill stick with my 2022 touring, its awesome.

[@youngbrevy]

It won’t disrupt anything. No car will disrupt the industry. Nobody is shaking in their boots when a Civic Hybrid comes out. People buy what they like, and automakers feed off of that. I can say yes it will be a great option. I’m a Honda guy so no I’m not hating. Maybe this title works for the algorithm but hey nice video .

[@avdp9095]

In the Netherlands the Civic costs 7500 euro more than the Corolla Hybrid......says it all. Toyota is far more competitive and bestseller, Honda, marginal sales in Europe.

[@sonnycarreon3308]

Will they make a hybrid Si?

[@double__de7387]

I love the Civic but if Toyota redesign the corolla the right way and add hybrid to the hatchback i dont think they would toush the corolla

[@mikevaldes9831]

the styling of the new front end for the 2025 model looks a little like the BMW 3 series LCI front end, no?

[@Ayoooo-jx2lo]

This is more interesting than the Prius tbh. There will be more supply (good thing). Since there is a plant in the U.S. for civics, it would better to make it plug in! There are grants that consumers could benefit from this.

When I switched to Sport-L Accord Hybrid my insurance went up. Went back to gas vehicle and now insurance went down. No more fog lights?! That’s a huge let down. When I had the Accord Hybrid the visibility sucked! Went back to a 2024 Civic Touring Sport Hatchback which has the fog lights. Excellent visible at night! Way better! The new civic being hybrid with no more fog lights as well, yea it’s a hard pass for me. Plus that 2.0 engine is horrible. With the 1.5 you can customize and tune that baby to like 220 horses. Maybe more.

[@RNMCCLAIN]

Please please please I hope and beg that they add a hybrid manual option like the CR-Z

[@paulle9130]

Do you think they would still make a Civic SI or Type R?

[@KirkKreifels]

Gas models will stay

[@jn9604]

Like so many Honda models in Canada it will likely only come in the top 2 trim levels and that means a moonroof which means not enough head room plus a bunch of other crap not that IMHO is not needed and I don't want. As good as it will likely be, I doubt I will even go a look at one. Plus in Canada the price of all Civics and Honda is general is too high and not competitive with other brands.

[@markoreggio2015]

Wonder if they coming to canada

[@jimc5696]

I hope & pray Honda will add a new feature to the Civic Hybrid - it's called "sound insulation" ... please Honda... quiet down your interiors at highway speeds.

[@Milofchg]

The front end looks similar to the 2024 Civic Type R. I hope the Si doesn't change much.

[@wongralvju]

it comes down to pricing. For someone who drive less than 10K km per year, may take many years to break even.

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

[@cervanteforfun1864]

Honda using their engine to run their Electric motors is genius. The fact their car will have normal dimensions compared to the new prius being the narrowest thing I've ever seen.

[@R3c0nf1gur3d]

All that matters if it comes with ventilated seats and ambient lighting.
