The 2025 Honda Civic Sedan and Hatchback, powered by Honda’s innovative two-motor hybrid system, has earned the “Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems” award for its power, efficiency, and refinement. This marks the second consecutive year Honda’s hybrid-electric powertrain has received this prestigious accolade. The fourth-generation hybrid system, a key component of Honda’s electrification strategy, offers significant improvements in fuel economy without sacrificing performance or passenger space. Notably, the system powers multiple Honda models, such as the Accord and CR-V, which have achieved remarkable sales success. In fact, the CR-V was America’s best-selling hybrid vehicle in 2023.
Manufactured in Ohio, the new two-motor hybrid-electric system is coupled with a redesigned 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle engine, enhancing both production efficiency and performance. The 2025 Civic hybrid, available in sedan and hatchback styles, offers up to 200 horsepower and features advanced technology, including four levels of regenerative braking. Honda has fine-tuned the vehicle’s ride and handling, ensuring comfort, quietness, and the signature fun-to-drive spirit. The Civic, Honda’s longest-running nameplate, remains one of the best-selling passenger cars in the U.S. and a favorite among Gen Z and first-time buyers.
