I found your review much more informative than the other reviewers of this new Civic Hybrid. You gave more helpful info on Google Maps and related features that are built into the infotainment system. As a tech user, I appreciated that. I'm interested in the sport touring hatchback. I'd love to see the other exterior and interior colors being offered for the topline hatchback.
Wow! Thanks a lot for the nice comment! Your feedback on the tech features is also helpful! Definitely come back once we have the drive review on the channel!
Awesome first look video - definitely the most detailed of the ones I've seen released over the last few days!
Wow! Thanks for the comment & feedback! Hope you subscribe to come back for more 👍🏾
The hatch back looks beautiful.
Thanks for the comment & feedback! Yeah, it looks great in the boost blue!
Agreed! Very impressive.
I'm getting a Boost Blue Pearl Sport Touring Hybrid Hatchback. I'm glad I waited, instead of getting the previous Sport or Sport Touring.
@@jjacob25101 I'm going to do the same
The relaxed review style really matches the studio vibes. Which is great cause it was super thorough
Wow! Thanks a lot for the comment & feedback! Yeah, admittedly, it was super echoey in the studio so I had to dial it back a bit! 🤣
Enjoyed the comprehensive and calm overview. Subscribed for the personality.
Wow! Thanks a lot for the comment & feedback! Hope you enjoy our other content as well!
Well done! Love your style. Subscribed. Toyota really blew it with the missed opportunities in the Corolla Hatch. We hope the Civic blows away the competition. Just make sure the availability of the hatches is there.
Wow! Thanks a lot for the nice comment & feedback! As a small channel, just started in Jan., the sub means a lot too! The regular Civic outsells Corolla, so the trend should continue once this hybrid goes on sale!
Subscribed! Great info
Wow! Thanks for the comment & feedback! Hope you enjoy the rest of the content too!
VERY complete review-----thank you!
Wow! Thank you for the comment & feedback!
I wish Honda made the hybrids lower cost. I like how Subaru and Toyota have packages. If you want a sunroof, heated seats, or advanced monitors, you can add them instead of possibly paying for something you don’t necessarily want. With everything blended in a trim, the higher price might mitigate the hybrid’s potential savings or steer towards people to pay for more they can afford.
Thanks for the comment & detailed feedback! I hear you, but the Accord & CR-V Hybrids are selling really well given their pricing, I’d say the Civic will too. The lower sport hybrid trims will be more affordable than the sport touring trims. Let us know if you end buying a new hybrid!
Awesome video !! Love this car !
Wow! Thanks for the nice comment and feedback! We’ll try to get a drive review up soon!
Another well done review!!! They are both very nice, I just bought the 2024 Si or I would be interested in either of these.
Wow! Thanks a lot for the nice comment & feedback! Congrats on the Si! What color did you go with?
@@Drive_Culture I went with the Pearl Black.
You have a good voice and demeanor, plus you seem personable in the comments. Subscribed! I also wish there was an integra with similar make up, but I need a car soon. Not even sure I'll be able to wait for this one, unfortunately, I might get a 2025 Camry.
Wow! Thanks a lot for the nice comment & feedback! Are you mostly in the market for a hybrid? The Accord hybrid is also great, and the Integra A-Spec easily gets high 30 mpg! We have reviews on both of those cars, so check those out too! Good luck!
@@Drive_Culture I appreciate the response! I've narrowed it down to a Camry or Civic hybrid. Finally saying goodbye to a manual 6 cylinder BMW that's expensive to upkeep. Integra's rev hang defeated the purpose of a manual for me :-/
Fair, totally understand! Well, keep us posted as to which one you finally buy & why!
Great review! I’ll definitely go with the hatchback !!
Wow! Thanks for the comment & feedback! Stay tuned cause we’ll get a drive review up in the coming weeks! 👍🏾
The LX and Sport N/A ICE 2.0L engine is detuned from 158 to 150 hp to get better fuel economy, but has slightly more torque. The Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid has 200 hp & 232 ft/lbs torque. The LX is only available in the sedan.
Previously, only the Sport Sedan had the exhaust finisher. The Sport Touring Hatchback had dual tailpipes, I believe the Si has dual tailpipes. The Type R has the centered triple exhaust finishers.
The Sport Touring Hybrid Hatchback uses the dame rear diffuser with simulated exhaust from the Sport. They still have a concealed exhaust pipe.
The Sport Touring Hybrid Hatchback also has smoked taillight reverse lenses.
Thank you for the comment & detailed feedback!
@@Drive_Culture I edited the typos, and information on the Type R. I forgot that it has the centered triple exhaust tips.
Another hit from Honda and another awesome review by you - subscribed! I love this new Civic Hybrid, especially the sedan in that cool blue colour with the grey interior.
As someone who’s been eyeing an Integra A Spec Tech, I’m becoming concerned for the future of the Integra since the Civic is so good. I’m hoping Acura really steps it up for the updated Integra. 🤞🏽
Wow! Thanks a lot for the nice comment & detailed feedback! Yeah I agree, I really like that color combo on the sedan! We’ll have to wait and see what comes for Integra, but if you haven’t already… feel free to watch our reviews on the Tech A-Spec and Type S!
I imagine the hybrid will make its way into the integra refresh getting rid of the manual for the a spec. That said this man is responsible for the integra.
Thanks!
Thank you always for watching & the support! 🙌🏾
Excellent review and they both look way better than the current offerings.
Wow! Thanks for the comment & feedback! Are you going sedan or hatchback?
@@Drive_Culture I'm hoping the Si gets the refreshed sedan look because if so, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
The refreshed sedan just looks incredible, and it takes A LOT to sell me on a sedan. I wish the Si had a coupe with the refreshed sedan look, because that would just make it incredible. Having said that, again, hoping for a refreshed Si with the new sedan look.
Again, great review and thanks for the response!
Awesome review again and Awesome news. No excuses for integra to get this with 50 more hp and torque, hrv hybrid with more power and Acura version...Johnathan, make it happen. And new prelude 400hp hybrid
Wow! Thanks for the comment & feedback! This channel isn’t affiliated with Honda or Acura, so can’t comment on future product, but hopefully they’re listening!
@Drive_Culture you are awesome and you have a voice.
HEY------you work for Acura right? Mark from SavageGeese interviewed you about the Type-S right?
LOL! Yes, that’s right! Although this is my private channel which is not affiliated with Honda or Acura!
Woahhhh this is wild , I knew I recognized you!! Loving what you’re doing with your reviews, subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you very much for the support! 🙌🏾
I’m getting that hatchback. Same trim, and color.
Thanks for the comment! Oh that’s gonna be a nice ride, Congrats in advance! Let us know once you’ve pulled the trigger!
Did they improve the NVH at all?
Thanks for the comment! Let us confirm that once we do the drive video!
I will go with the hatchback anyday anytime
Thanks for the comment! You actually considering buying one? If so, let us know if you pull the trigger!
Does the manual comes in hybrid versions to ?
Thanks for the comment! For 2025, there are no more manuals offered outside of the Civic Si & Type R.
My Type S doesn't have an integrated assistant but Android Auto seems to work just fine.
I will say wireless android auto isn't flawless and having apps run natively on the car is a really interesting move.
Thanks for the comment & feedback! Which Type S do you have? ITS? Anyway, yes, the native Google Built-in is a nice feature and you don’t have to worry about your phone being connected, etc.
The refresh face lift looks really nice. Just don’t like that they are taking away the fog lights. Also will the lower trims also have the 9 in display?
no
Thanks for the comment! Yeah I like the updated design too. Yep, no fog lights and no the lower trims will still have the 7” Color touchscreen.
I want the one with the rear wiper !!
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, that would not be a bad choice!
Love the sedans blue color and everything else-hatchback.
Thanks for the comment & feedback! Yeah I think the new blue would look great on the hatchback as well!
I’ve heard that the Europe model of the civic touring hybrid gets rear ac vents rear USBs and rear seat heaters and a panoramic sunroof. I think it has to do with that in Europe most cars are sedans or small cuv/hatchbacks so they wanted to compete better. Though it would be nice to it on the American model maybe 2026? But anyway great review nice and detailed not rushed and mentioning your height is very helpful not many reviewers mention it thanks.
Wow! Thanks for the comment & detailed feedback! Yes, it’s not just the Civic, as you said, the European market has different competitors and pricing to consider. With that said, it’ll be interesting to see how well received this new Civic Hybrid will be here in the U.S. Glad you enjoyed the video, hopefully you’ll come back for more!
@@Drive_Culture nice matt white ITS you have especially the black door handles it compliments it quite well
We should get a firmware update for Google 😔
Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately, Google Built-in isn’t just an app. It is wired into the whole vehicle, which is why you can control climate settings, etc. So, it would be more than a firmware update.
Waiting for the hatch.
Thanks for the comment! We’ll try to get a driving review up in the coming weeks! Let us know if you pull the trigger on one!
Wonder if this powertrain will make it's way to the Aspec Integra.
Thanks for the comment! If it made its way into the Integra, are you buying one?
@@Drive_Culture I doubt a Hybrid powertrain would get a manual transmission, although I know the CRZ got it. My next car purchase I'm firm on it being a manual. So been bouncing between Civic SI or Integra.
Ahh… I see! Makes sense if you’re after a manual. Well, if you haven’t already, feel free to watch our reviews on both the Civic Si & Integra A-Spec!
I think cooled seats, lumbar support, would be enough to get me into an integral over the civic. However if it doesnt really offer anymore real comfort than i think it won’t make sense to pay the premium over the honda
Edit also a large pano roof could be great but wouldn’t see it as a deal maker for me personally but can see it as a wow factor for most.
Hatchback Sport uses 150 HP engine. Higher Hatchback trims (Hybrid versions) uses 200 HP engine.
Thanks for the comment & feedback!
When you drive the new Civic Hybrid, I look forward to your comments on its performance compared to the Civic SI. The statement, "It's the most powerful non-Type R Civic ever!!" is a teaser statement. Will Honda's implementation of that power translate into faster 0 to 60 acceleration and better handling than the SI? Will the Civic Hybrid be more fun to drive than the SI? I doubt it. If so why would Honda keep the SI unless they're also going to up the ante on the SI. I suspect the Civic Hybrid will be a competitive blend of fuel economy, sporty handling, and better interior quality and tech features that make it a step up from a Prius. That certainly is good for those of us shopping for a new car.
Thanks a lot for the comment & detailed feedback! That’s a fair request, I’ll be sure to give my impressions against the Si! It will be interesting indeed!
I would not buy a hybrid but i might buy the cheapest model which is the LX sedan raised in price for 2025 by 300 bucks . I have to decide whether to get a lot of maintenance dome on my 2011 civic coupe which has been a great car and has 99,0000 miles on it, or buy a new one.
Thanks for the comment & feedback! Any reason not to buy the hybrid? We’ll have a drive review up on that in a few weeks! I hear you on the price though and the LX is still a really nice car! Let us know what you decide on!
I really want the hatch, but I was hoping for that new blue. Not sure how it would look in a sand color, but we shall see.
Thanks for the comment & feedback! Yeah we’ll put up some pics in the new color once they become available. Be sure to come back when the drive review posts too!
The mechanics seem very promising, but I don't like the new front bumper, because the front overhang seems even longer than before the facelift which is not too classy. By the way, why does the front always have to be more aggressive instead of more elegant?
Thanks for the comment & feedback! I don’t think the front overhang is actually that much longer, may look that way from certain angles j suppose. Yes, it definitely is a more aggressive face though.
Acura needs a hybrid….time for luxury brand step there game up and exterior paint game.
Thanks for the comment & feedback! Do you want to see a hybrid on a specific car or the whole lineup? Also, what new exterior colors do you want to see?
And Mazda
Awe man. They made you go last. That's ok you had the best one. 👍🏼
Wow! Thanks a lot for the comment & feedback! We’ll try to drop closer to the embargo date next time! 👍🏾
Rear vents and charge ports is a miss
Thanks for the comment & feedback on those features!
I don’t like the front it looks like a Corolla 😢 and I was waiting for this car to come out but now I doubt I’ll get it
Thanks for the comment & feedback! Everyone is entitled to their opinion! Maybe go look at both once they hit dealer lots?
@@Drive_Culture I have to see them in person from every single angle and distance as possible coz 😔😔😔
I have a feeling the next civic si will be a 2.0 turbo
Thanks for the comment! Is that what you want to see in the next Si? How much power are you expecting?
The Si is overdue for a significant upgrade.
Front and rear fascia sucks wheels look cheap. It looks like honda is trying to cut corners on design.
Thanks for the comment & feedback! It’s interesting, I haven’t heard that opinion yet. Have you had a chance to see the car in-person?
Honda civic with Corolla front bumper 2014. Ugly
Thanks for the comment feedback!
