Several months ago, Honda America made an announcement that they would be reintroducing the Honda Civic Hybrid in the US, and now the company has revealed the first look of the car. This also marks the debut of the 2025 Civic facelift. The company plans to roll this out across the model lineup next year. The current Honda Civic was launched in 2021, which means it is now three years old, and it was time for some minor changes in the sedan.
American Honda unveiled the new facelift in its 2024 business outlook release. According to details, North America will receive a Civic Hybrid for both sedan and hatchback body styles, and the electrified variant will make up about 40% of the Civic sales after its launch. The facelift that was displayed earlier matches the Civic RS Prototype shown in Tokyo Salon 2024.
Changes in 2025 Honda Civic
There are some minor but impactful changes in the new 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid “Sport Touring.”
- A thicker front grille as honeycomb mesh replaces the current lines, matching the lower grille
- New 7-spoke 2-tone alloy wheels
- Updated bumper design
- Revised smoked LED tail lamps
The company has not released any interior images, but it is expected that it would largely remain intact. Honda has also mentioned that the new Civic will receive “feature enhancements,” which could mean an updated infotainment system from the new Honda Accord, among other things. In the past, Honda facelifts have also included mechanical upgrades for the sport Si and Type R, so we can anticipate the same for the official launch of the facelift.
According to reports, the new Honda Civic Hybrid will come with a 1.5L gasoline unit replacing a 2.0 one, which is similar to the power in the previous Civic-based Insight, discontinued in 2022.
The new trim will be available for sale in North America by the end of this year and will be available in other global markets in 2025.
