Set to arrive next year, the 2025 Civic Hybrid will be offered as a Canadian-made sedan as well as an American-built hatchback.
The sedan will arrive first, with production slated to begin in spring 2024 at Honda of Canada Manufacturing in Alliston, Ontario. It will be followed by the hatchback, which will be built in Greensburg, Indiana.
Honda is keeping details under wraps, but confirmed the model will have a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine and a two-motor hybrid system. It's also expected to be popular, as Honda believes more than 40% of Civics will be hybrid. That's a significant share, and the company said the model is "another key step" in its electrification strategy, which calls for "equipping its core models with hybrid-electric systems."
We'll learn more details closer to launch, but the hybrid powertrain is expected to echo the one found in the American-spec Accord and CR-V. As a result, we can expect a combined output of around 204 hp (152 kW / 207 PS).
Of course, the fuel economy ratings are paramount and we can anticipate positive news in that area as the Accord Hybrid boasts up to 51 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city, 44 mpg on the highway, and 48 mpg in combined driving. These figures surpass those of the previous Civic Hybrid, which received ratings of 43 mpg city, 45 mpg highway, and 44 mpg combined for the 2015 model year.
Honda has produced automobiles in North America for over 40 years, beginning in November 1982 at the Marysville Auto Plant. Honda began manufacturing operations in North America in 1979 with motorcycle production in Marysville, Ohio.
