Year-on-year price increases for new cars have almost become an inevitability and the 2025 Civic Sedan is no different. To Honda’s credit, however, prices have only been increased by a small amount for the updated sedan. Like last year, the 2025 Civic Sedan family starts with the entry-level LX. This model is powered by a 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder with 158 hp and 187 Nm of torque and will set back shoppers US$ 24,250 before a US$ 1,095 destination charge. That’s just a tiny increase over the US$ 23,950 starting price of the 2024 Civic Sedan LX.
Those seeking some extra features can opt
for the Civic Sedan Sport. It’s priced at US$ 26,250, a moderate increase from
the US$ 25,550 from last year. It has the same 2.0-liter engine as the standard
model but adds dark trim and 18-inch black alloy wheels. The big news for 2025
is the arrival of a new hybrid powertrain in the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring
Hybrid models. Prices for these models start at US$ 28,750 and US$ 31,750
respectively. As the 2024 Civic Sedan didn’t have a hybrid option, there’s no
direct equivalent to them. However, the outgoing EX and Touring with a
1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder were priced from US$ 26,950 and US$ 30,550.
The hybrid powertrain of this new model
produces 200 hp and 315 Nm through its 2.0-liter four-cylinder and
two electric motors, giving it a power advantage over the old turbo 1.5-liter.
Of course, it’s more efficient, too, rated at 50 mpg city, 47 mpg highway, and
49 mpg combined.
Other changes made for the 2025 car are
limited. They include four new colors: Solar Silver Metallic, Urban Gray Pearl,
Blue Lagoon Pearl, and Sand Dune Pearl. The vehicle also has USB-C ports in the
front row and an improved version of the Honda Sensing suite of safety and
driver-assistance technologies. Honda says the Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane
Keeping Assist System are smoother and have a “more natural feeling” than the
older system.
