Hopefully John Davis from Motorweek will call them out the way he got called out for his nonsensical bitching about missing voltage and battery gauges. 😅
They are going to sell a ton of these. Yesterday's penalty box economy cars are becoming what used to be available only to the wealthy, while higher-end cars are now increasingly just festivals of silly gadgets and horrifying depreciation. What exactly does a 3 series really offer you that this doesn't? Is it really worth the price difference? You would never have even asked that question a decade ago, but for a lot of mainstream buyers the answer is now "not much", and "no". These are weird times for the car industry.
It’s crazy the amount of features built into the entry cars now at least on the max spec version of them, remote start, heated seats eveywhere, nav, Bluetooth, wireless charging, sunroof, leather seats, all the safety stuff, etc. I mean tbf the price have went up on these cars though, but like you’re saying IDK what else you could ask for in a commuter car, massaging chairs and more noise insulation? Higher quality material? It’s mostly looks and engine.
I like the way Honda does the rolling privacy cloth far more than the rigid covers other car makers do. The rigid ones get in the way when one wants to fold the seats down and put large things in the bag, so we remove and store... someplace. The rolling shad is better.
Damn, when the Hybrid model has more performance than the "Si" model. This hybrid powertrain pretty much makes the 1.5L Turbo engine completely obsolete.
The Si is just a joke at this point. Honda cheaped out not putting the 2.0L in it to give in the 225+ hp it needs to compete and will now probably use that as an excuse to kill it like they do all their fun cars.
I’m still rockin my 2012 civic coupe, never had any issues! I love civics! Until mine craps out I’ll wait to get a new one. Love this new hybrid civic! Thanks for the video :)!❤🎉
Was waiting for this review for a while... cant wait to get it at my dealership in Montreal , work at Honda and the Civic is a great car and the Hybrid should be awsome.
Great overview guys, thanks!! Two Canadians, driving a Canadian built car, IN CANADA, and Honda puts California plates on the vehicle and doesn't release any details on Canadian pricing. Come on Honda, you can do better than that.
I’ve been looking forward to this review, I work at the Honda plant that manufactures the hatchback model and we were told that the blue car in the b-roll shots was going to be used as the press car. Edit: as for the sand color, it is more of a brown that a champagne, and I think it would look better on an off-roading SUV than the Civic imo.
Do you know when we could expect to see them in the dealership? I'm waiting for the sport hybrid hatchback version but it doesn't seem like theirs any in stock at my local dealerships.
I think it makes perfect sense to replace the 1.5T with a hybrid in this lineup. The whole point of the 1.5T was a little extra performance and better gas milaege, which a hybrid system will always do better.
@@dAbaPEsTA123 The average consumer, aka 99% of people that get a Civic, will never do something like that and a hybrid would be far more beneficial to them.
The 1.5T was also supposed to be a fun, torquey engine that could be had with a manual transmission. Killing it for the hybrid is the end of the Civic as a legit cheap enthusiast option. The only car left in that once-thriving segment now is the Mazda3.
@@FSAPOJake Hyundai and Kia are a joke. Nobody takes anybody driving a Hyundai or Kia seriously. Cheap disposable cars that are not made to go more than 150k miles.
Hybrid the best. In Malaysia, 60% of the total Honda Civic sales was the Civic RS 2.0 eHEV, the other 40% was Civic 1.5 Turbo. The same goes with other eHEV models like the City, HRV and CRV.
Anyone curious about how the engine works, here how i understand it. There is technically a transmission but it's only switching between direct drive from the electric motor and direct drive from the 2.0l engine. If you are bellow 50 or 60 mph you will be running purely on the electric motor, and using the ICE engine to charge the battery as needed. Only at highway speeds (where the engine is most efficient) will it switch to direct drive from the ICE engine. This is because it only has one gear ratio (no CVT or anything) which is optomized for highway speeds.
The Touring is missing two features that the similarly priced Jetta SEL and GLI have: -Memory driver’s seat -Ventilated front seats Since my wife and I are very different heights and we live in the South, this is a deal breaker. I understand why the lower trim levels don’t have these features, but the top trim level should.
@@Robert-kb8rl This is a hybrid and a GLI is a turbocharged 2.0 motor lol. The mileage is significantly different. The Hybrid is around 50mpg combined.
@@calebniederhofer6529 The performance, price, and size are similar. With respect to gas mileage, the Jetta SEL is rated at 31/41. The Honda Civic Hybrid certainly has better mileage, but not enough better for me to give up memory and ventilated front. seats. If Honda would simply offer these two features I would certainly go with the Civic, but until then, this is a deal breaker.
The Civic Hybrid is one of the best cars releasing in ages. It is a hybrid, lower fuel consumption, way less pollution, priced where people can kind of afford it, everyone loves Civics (Obviously, I am included in that) and it is such a great car overall! I loved the new Prius when Toyota presented that, finally the Prius is a worthy car, but I just cannot let go of the Honda interior quality and more luxurious interior compared to Toyota and all of their great engineering, to me, not only is this an amazing car, it's probably my favorite daily car option right now.
Ngl, I have been very critical of Honda lately due to the designs of the car and my skepticism about the reliability of the 1.5 L engine. I hated the design of the last gen Civic, and wasn't so much of a fan of the pre-facelift version of the current gen. But seeing this facelift version makes me want to be a Honda person again and buy the hatchback variant. So happy to see Honda finally fixing their chassis design.
Can’t wait to get one of these next year. I’m going to get a touring. I think this is worth 31-32k all day long. 50 miles to the gallon and it’s got some decent everyday power. That’s all I need and want for an everyday car.
Great video guys! I have a 2024 Touring and just wanted to say that apple car play directions do show up in navigation on the display (round or vertical). I love my car and I am getting great combined gas mileage (high 30s) but man 50MPG for the same price is crazy. I keep my cars a long time, so maybe I'll get a 12 gen hybrid. Peace to all. Daniel
The bottom part of the front grill aka fish mouth makes it more in line with CRV from the international market (no useless silver box trims on the front - like the ones found in the US sport touring).
Been driving one for more then a year. Everything is pretty good for what it is. Quick and handle well for what it is. Fuel economy is unreal. The fuel tank is 5l less then the non hybrid. The road noise is pretty loud at speed. I think it's because it only comes with 19" wheel with pilot sport. The active noise cancelling is only to mask the engine on off noise. The fake engine sound is pretty annoying but it mask the washing machine engine sound. So I'm kinda ok with that. But the fake sound doesn't comes on during high load slow speed situation. Had the sticky steering issue once
@@Enlightenment_2025 never sit at the rear my self but from what my friends says it's better then both of my previous cars. I would think so too. Although being mostly being driven by the electric motor only, it feels completely like a normal ice car. I would say the ride quality at the rear is more or less if not better then other cars in the segment.
Honda will sell a ton of these. Admittedly, I’m a little biased because I own an 11th gen. Civic hatchback, so I know how nice they are. I prefer my Civic with its 6-speed manual, but since most people don’t want manuals, this will be the ideal daily driver for many people.
I just bought one I got the Sport Hybrid because I think it's a better deal ... The Touring is just $4000 more for non-essensial toys (Canada) It is awesome. Quick, comfortable, frugal, quiet.
Idk how people get confused about this hybrid transmission, it's the most simple transmission imaginable. The engine is connected to a generator which generates electricity to power the motor connected to the wheels and also keep the battery charged. This kind of operating mode is called "series hybrid" and the concept is super simple. The only slightly complicated part of the transmission is that it also has a clutch to connect the engine to the wheels directly at higher speeds, this mode is called "parallel hybrid" because the engine is driving the wheels but also charging the battery, or taking power from the battery if the car needs a temporary power boost. "e-CVT" is a marketing term that doesn't accurately explain how Honda's hybrid system operates. "parallel" and "series" hybrid modes are real terms to describe different hybrid operations. Toyota hybrids can only use the engine as a parallel hybrid, but their parallel hybrid mode can continuously vary the gear ratio at all speeds for max efficiency but does lose efficiency at higher speeds because it has to run the motor/generators to keep the gear ratio high which results in electrical energy loss. Honda's parallel hybrid mode on the other hand has a fixed gear ratio and can only be engaged at high speeds, but doesn't result in energy loss because it is using real gears and a clutch so there's no electrical loss.
Amazing Review Chill and Funny, Nice this might be my new daily commute car😊, 49mpg and it’s not ugly or weird , Wish it had an e-boost button, get the hatch for sure, and $35k US is reasonable,
Solid choice for the price. They didn’t need to make the drive a bit more refined like the Mazda 3, but they did listen to customer feedback. Good on Honda for that. The car is less mushy and quieter than before and that works.
oh man this makes it a lot tougher to choose the SI. I love manual transmission...but more torque, quieter cabin and 50mpg?!? SI speaks to my heart, but hybrid speaks to my brain. Anyone else in this predicament now that the 25 hybrid is out? What are your thoughts?
I have a new Hybrid Touring that I ordered. I love the car, but the mileage does not look a bit good at all. I am a responsible driver, but not seeing anything close to being decent. I am not sure if there is something wrong here, or I am not giving the car enough time to show the mileage average to be even close to what the specs say. Driving around town I am getting about 15 mpg and on the highway it hovers mostly around 25 mpg. I am confused.
@@jamesbarbato2192 Honda has made a Civic Hybrid since 2010, and stopped for a few years because they were also selling the Hybrid Insight (since 1999). They are now switching back to the Civic Hybrid. The Accord Hybrid has been around since 2005.
Put a set of Muchelin CrossClimate 2s on it and you'll be good in the snow. No real need for AWD unless you live out in the boonies and drive in snowstorms.
I think the SI will soldier on as it is until the next generation. They should put some version of their 2.0 turbo engine on the next one. Maybe with 230 hp or something like that. Oh, who am I kidding, it's Honda. They'll do something disappointing with the next gen SI.
Looks nice but with that MSRP on the fully loaded trim? You could also buy a Camry with a few options instead. Makes you wonder if the value proposition is worth it, but it depends on what your needs are and if you can find a dealer willing to co-operate on giving you a good price. Unfortunately, if you need a cheaper hybrid option you'll have to settle for the Corolla.
With no transmission, (never thought I would say that) you got to wonder if Honda just UP'd the reliability which is already high in a Honda... Because I have a 2005 Acura TL and at 135k miles, the only engine work I have done is replace 1 ignition coil.. It took 10 minutes. Did it myself. I just wish my car had a timing "chain" instead of a "belt". Still.. I wont have to do that again for a long time. But No transmission is pretty awesome. No fluid to replace. All they need is Electric Steering to take out another fluid. That too would UP the reliability.
That makes the price range from $30k CAD base best case scenario to $45K CAD top trim worst case scenario. $30k 'acceptable' for a hybrid base, but still difficult pill to swallow when a base Rav4 hybrid just 3 years ago was $32k. Prices are crazy.
I hope the active noise canceling is easily removed. Even so, it ruins sound systems because it leaves a gap in the bass, even with an aftermarket subwoofer. The signal from the headunit itself has the bass removed to avoid interference with the active noise canceling
Apple Maps will transfer directions oddly enough, not Google Maps while using CarPlay. I also noticed that while using Apple Maps some details will be left out compared to built in option.
I don’t understand why everyone is going to bigger wheels and less sidewall on the tires. That combo can leave you stranded on the side of the road with a popped tire along with a bent wheel. To me it looks like a Civic fitted with wagon wheels.
i absolutely hate the body color headlight panel but love everything else about this car. i wish they kept it as the black cladding. if i get this car i’d 100% repaint it
Let’s be honest, this is all the car that most people need. Affordable (somewhat), reliable, practical, and gets amazing mileage.

Honda will sell a ton of these. Admittedly, I’m a little biased because I own an 11th gen. Civic hatchback, so I know how nice they are. I prefer my Civic with its 6-speed manual, but since most people don’t want manuals, this will be the ideal daily driver for many people.
Great car. Price point too high with no spare. What is that all about? Wish the center monitor was a bit more built-in into the dash.
I just bought one
I got the Sport Hybrid because I think it's a better deal ... The Touring is just $4000 more for non-essensial toys (Canada)
It is awesome. Quick, comfortable, frugal, quiet.
This is a compelling option, looks highly polished, and hits a lot of sweet spots.
thanks guys for the review im from down town Montreal and looking for that car
Literally the Crimson Chin!!
Thanks for reviewing in Montreal. We need review with all the potholes to test car reliability
Maybe it’s just the way the mic recorded, but the hum when y’all put it in reverse has an almost harmonic quality, like a church choir
Idk how people get confused about this hybrid transmission, it's the most simple transmission imaginable. The engine is connected to a generator which generates electricity to power the motor connected to the wheels and also keep the battery charged. This kind of operating mode is called "series hybrid" and the concept is super simple. The only slightly complicated part of the transmission is that it also has a clutch to connect the engine to the wheels directly at higher speeds, this mode is called "parallel hybrid" because the engine is driving the wheels but also charging the battery, or taking power from the battery if the car needs a temporary power boost. "e-CVT" is a marketing term that doesn't accurately explain how Honda's hybrid system operates. "parallel" and "series" hybrid modes are real terms to describe different hybrid operations. Toyota hybrids can only use the engine as a parallel hybrid, but their parallel hybrid mode can continuously vary the gear ratio at all speeds for max efficiency but does lose efficiency at higher speeds because it has to run the motor/generators to keep the gear ratio high which results in electrical energy loss. Honda's parallel hybrid mode on the other hand has a fixed gear ratio and can only be engaged at high speeds, but doesn't result in energy loss because it is using real gears and a clutch so there's no electrical loss.
Lmaoo old ppl gold 😂 Yuri firing shots
Hey. It’s my fav color like the cx70. I’m old now
Amazing Review Chill and Funny, Nice this might be my new daily commute car😊, 49mpg and it’s not ugly or weird , Wish it had an e-boost button, get the hatch for sure, and $35k US is reasonable,
thank you for testing the flip down visor! fingers crossed for the plug-in version...
That intro hits hard!
Replace those front bumper side vents with the Type R's and the wheels and you got a perfect GOOD looking daily
The prior schnozz looks better. But this is a much better powertrain.
Solid choice for the price. They didn’t need to make the drive a bit more refined like the Mazda 3, but they did listen to customer feedback. Good on Honda for that. The car is less mushy and quieter than before and that works.
oh man this makes it a lot tougher to choose the SI. I love manual transmission...but more torque, quieter cabin and 50mpg?!? SI speaks to my heart, but hybrid speaks to my brain.
Anyone else in this predicament now that the 25 hybrid is out? What are your thoughts?
I’m leaving my SI for this, it just makes more sense
That exterior noise sounds so synthwavey 😂
Honda engineers are the best.
Honda Civics are the best compact sedans to drive. And now they have a hybrid version...Just pure awesomeness!
I have a new Hybrid Touring that I ordered. I love the car, but the mileage does not look a bit good at all. I am a responsible driver, but not seeing anything close to being decent. I am not sure if there is something wrong here, or I am not giving the car enough time to show the mileage average to be even close to what the specs say. Driving around town I am getting about 15 mpg and on the highway it hovers mostly around 25 mpg. I am confused.
Hybrid is the future
The first hybrid Prius came out in 1997. I don’t know if I would say it’s the future.
It's just a stop gap until 27 or 28 when Honda goes all electric
@@jamesbarbato2192 Honda has made a Civic Hybrid since 2010, and stopped for a few years because they were also selling the Hybrid Insight (since 1999). They are now switching back to the Civic Hybrid. The Accord Hybrid has been around since 2005.
As long as Tesla's take an hour to charge, and cars take 5 minutes to fill up at the Grapevine driving from SF to LA. Yes.
The navigation does work in the gage cluster with CarPlay, at least it does in my 2024 Ridgeline, but you have to use Apple Maps which sucks.
Yes sorry that’s what we meant to say
@@TheStraightPipesit happens a lot on your minds when making this.
Put a set of Muchelin CrossClimate 2s on it and you'll be good in the snow. No real need for AWD unless you live out in the boonies and drive in snowstorms.
sO happy to see fiiiiiinally Honda civic in hatchback! AND hybrid! thank you for the video.
The sedan's facelift is a improvement, but the hatchback tho... Last year hatch's is still the best looking civic ever
Wonder if the Si will get a refresh this year too
I think the SI will soldier on as it is until the next generation. They should put some version of their 2.0 turbo engine on the next one. Maybe with 230 hp or something like that. Oh, who am I kidding, it's Honda. They'll do something disappointing with the next gen SI.
They’ll update the Si as well. My only complaint about my 2020 Si is they need to improve the amount of tire/road noise.
The last thing I want is google tracking everywhere I go. Is there any way to block google?
Yea I believe so
I like that big bug catcher in the front.
Looks nice but with that MSRP on the fully loaded trim? You could also buy a Camry with a few options instead. Makes you wonder if the value proposition is worth it, but it depends on what your needs are and if you can find a dealer willing to co-operate on giving you a good price. Unfortunately, if you need a cheaper hybrid option you'll have to settle for the Corolla.
With no transmission, (never thought I would say that) you got to wonder if Honda just UP'd the reliability which is already high in a Honda... Because I have a 2005 Acura TL and at 135k miles, the only engine work I have done is replace 1 ignition coil.. It took 10 minutes. Did it myself. I just wish my car had a timing "chain" instead of a "belt". Still.. I wont have to do that again for a long time. But No transmission is pretty awesome. No fluid to replace. All they need is Electric Steering to take out another fluid. That too would UP the reliability.
I have the 2024 crv hybrid sport L and we luv it. Cant wait to pick up the civic hybrid
Fantastic package from Honda. Be prepared for huge dealer MARKUPS on the vehicle.
That makes the price range from $30k CAD base best case scenario to $45K CAD top trim worst case scenario. $30k 'acceptable' for a hybrid base, but still difficult pill to swallow when a base Rav4 hybrid just 3 years ago was $32k. Prices are crazy.
I hope the active noise canceling is easily removed. Even so, it ruins sound systems because it leaves a gap in the bass, even with an aftermarket subwoofer. The signal from the headunit itself has the bass removed to avoid interference with the active noise canceling
Nice review - Once the hatchback comes out, I will be in the showroom.
Apple Maps will transfer directions oddly enough, not Google Maps while using CarPlay. I also noticed that while using Apple Maps some details will be left out compared to built in option.
I don’t understand why everyone is going to bigger wheels and less sidewall on the tires. That combo can leave you stranded on the side of the road with a popped tire along with a bent wheel. To me it looks like a Civic fitted with wagon wheels.
From Beluga to vacuum cleaner design inspiration.. The Beluga one will be iconic like Civic FD.
the only question i want to ask is how is the steering rack?... since the worldwide recalls of the previous models , im having doubts in getting 1
i absolutely hate the body color headlight panel but love everything else about this car. i wish they kept it as the black cladding. if i get this car i’d 100% repaint it
Yuri and Jakub meeting charles is just the Rosberg curse in 2024
Never heard any reviews say front bumper is from 2022 nsx....it's awesome
Watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Luv your (continental) shirt....
