The Civic’s new hybrid powertrain is basically the same as the one used in the hybrid versions of Honda’s CR-V compact SUV and Accord mid-size sedan. It features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder paired with a two-motor hybrid system, and in the Civic, it’s rated at 200 horsepower and 232 pounds-feet of torque. That’s a significant jump from the base 2.0-liter engine, which is rated at 150 hp and 133 pounds-feet of torque for 2025. (Honda says the base 2.0-liter engine has been revised for earlier torque delivery and better fuel efficiency for 2025, and that its continuously variable automatic transmission has been revised to be more responsive.)
The hybrid’s 200-hp rating is also notably more powerful than the 2024 Civic’s available 180-hp, turbo 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which the hybrid powertrain replaces for 2025. The turbo 1.5 is slated to live on, however, in the sporty, manual-transmission-only Civic Si. Honda will be releasing details on the 2025 Si and high-performance Type R (which will likely be carried over unchanged from 2024) later in the year.
In addition to outgunning the base Civic engine, the Civic Hybrid easily beats the horsepower ratings of its primary compact hybrid rivals. The 2024 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid sedan and Kia Niro hatchback are both rated at 139 hp, while the Toyota Corolla Hybrid sedan checks in at 138 hp. The recently redesigned Toyota Prius is much closer at 194 hp (or 196 hp with all-wheel drive, which the Civic doesn’t offer), but its radical shape renders it an outlier among traditional compact cars - and it’s less practical to boot.
