Civics are great cars.
A nice simple refresh. I really like that new blue colour. Welcome to Canada. Hope your time here was fun.
Thanks, it was! We will be back!
*color
Dear Lord, reviewing cars on the streets of Montreal… At least you REALLY get acquainted with the suspension ;)
Terrific job guys & I can't wait to drive this car.
RIP to the fog lights 🥲
Yeah, good luck finding a car with them anymore. If they could at least offer them as an option so we don't have to splice wires.
@@Kjhgr01Splice? Why not just plug into fuse box under the steering wheel with a relay fuse? No need to splice
Barely used
Love your video
Great video guys.
You guys should go into developer mode and increase the dpi screen resolution quality to a 4k overlay. It makes the screen pop and makes you want to scream!
Excellent review as always, though I think the lack of rear vents is very disappointing!
You guys need to do a driving comparison between the new Accord and the new Camry and figure out which is more fun to drive. They both have gotten a little sportier, and the reason you guys are the ones to do it is because you have a 330 which is probably the standard for fun to drive in a sedan. Compare them to each other, then compare them to the BMW.
Yes, we absolutely agree!
Savage geese just did a comparison
Great video. Definitely can't wait to test drive soon. At the end of the video did I see the hybrid hatchback in the background?
Thanks! Yes, you did. But only Honda employees could drive that one
At the Touring trim level , it appears that Honda has removed the homelink system, rear USB ports and for the hybrid trims, the spare tire. I know this is a prototype vehicle review, but if those three items are not on the production versions of the Sport Touring, Honda has done some de-contenting to reduce production costs.
I also noticed these and I'm surprised that none of the reviewers have talked about the lack of homelink system compared to the previous year. I checked both Honda Canada and US website and on the specs shhet they have both left out the three features you mentioned. I care more about Homelink than the rear USB ports and I can't believe that instead of making a car packed with more features, they are actually quietly removing them.
Beautiful design- we are seeing the Civic slowly overtake in the looks department over the Accord which has fell over the side of the cliff. 50MPG is the winner here including the body design and rear lights, the front hood and body-color matching leaving only chrome trim on the badging. I like!
Nice review as always. Tough call between this and the 2025 Camry hybrid.
Awesome car, welcome to Canada 🇨🇦. Hopefully we get hrv hybrid immediately
I want a Sport Touring Hybrid Hatchback now. In Boost Blue Pearl, but too bad this Blue Lagoon Pearl color exclusive to the Sedan would be nice on the hatchback. Just add the black optional exterior emblems and my usual choices of OEM accessories.
The bumpy road before you guys go to tunnel I pass it everyday, it’s really bad road conditions in DT Montreal because the winter snow they put the salt on the road 😂
Ehhh I live in Canada, ontario to be more specific glad to have you guys here for a bit!
You’re a big channel so it feels special haha 😂😅
Thanks! It was our first time and won't be out last!
I really like this, and kudos to you both for getting to do a more thorough review (and drive) of the Civic Hybrid. I am quite smitten with the Blue Lagoon paint and the gray leather interior. But really, Honda - why, oh why did you feel the need to eliminate the rear seat USB ports?
I agree. Give us rear seat USB and vents at least on the top end model.
I am Japanese. In Japan, a minor change to the Civic is scheduled for September, but I am confused by the information that the North American version of the Civic (the Civic in this video), which was announced earlier than in Japan, does not have a rear charging port and rear air vents. Are the rear charging port and rear air vents not installed on all grades of both the new Civic sedan and hatchback? Or is it possible to add them as an option? Please let me know as there is little information available.
@@user-ox6to4rl9c The are no rear USB ports or vents on any of the 2025 Civic models. It's disappointing considering the 2024 Touring has two UBC A ports. Not a deal breaker though. I have a '23 Accord Sport Hybrid and have neither on it.
In Canada they get rear vents standard and optional heated rear seats lol.
It’s very nice!!
Thanks for the first drive. The term "switch over to the engine " could use some clarification since the engine doesn't directly drive the wheels below around 62mph.
True. We just don't usually get overly technical in terms of the engineering and stick with the real-world feel
The best in class just got better!
overpriced especially in Canada and folks dont want sedans nowadays........
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8 Dude I live in Canada you are gonna see these EVERYWHERE. I agree people are buying SUVs but this release is about to chage the game big time.
@@user-ju2wv8gt1b at least over 40K with taxes in Canada, plus probably 9-12 months wait time for delivery, quick pass folks........
Suv for old folks@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8 It comes as a hatchback as well.
of course i was just saying i wanted a hybrid civic but i like the other one without the gear shift & buttons
Would love to see Honda bring back the 2 door Touring Coupe. Love my 2017 and won’t give it up!
While he said later in the year, it appeared in the background 🤣
I'm never going to get used to the "mouthy" styling that many cars and SUV's are going to these days - this one looks like it ready to suck up anything it it's path !!!😮
Looks very vulnerable to parking damage IMO.
honda can call this civic hybrid a compact all they want. but in reality, the civic hybrid compete in midsize like camry on size and price point. i think people will def cross shop the hybrid version of civic with camry instead of corolla
Totally agreed. With this refresh, Honda is currently running 3+ inches extra per class in sedans, 6+ in hatchbacks, and 6 in midsized sedans (which granted at this point they're nearly alone so I guess they get to define the class). Meanwhile, the ride quality doesn't reflect this gap. It's an interesting tactic that could work in theory, but Honda's pricing undermines it.
I don't miss the potholes in MTL
I’m waiting for the hybrid pilot.
😂😂😂
i would want rear vent n actual exhaust tip
for the price of a sport touring hybrid is that better for daily driving as far as mpg and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) vs. 2025 Toyota Camry LE - Im currently cross shopping
Same here
Those tail lights look like they were designed by Fisher-Price
I kinda wish you guys mentioned the hidden feature of late model honda hybrid - the catalytic converter is nearly impossible to steal unlike Toyota hybrid😊 In fact most honda engines these days have the cat by the manifold.
What are you guys buying after returning the Santa fe? hybrid?
Is the lack of rear seat A/C vents or chargers because it’s a “prototype”?
Still no new look to me, I need to see a big change like the 19 style aggressive look... All the new stuff is repetitive now in all brand names. Did you all see that sick pic of the 25 civic on Google? I thought some sick killer look was coming out and told my gf I'm trading my 19 civic in for that, then I saw your video 😅 and so changed my mind and said I'll wait for another year to fade... Thanks for all your videos you two make 💯! I'm am a Honda for life person unless something big dropped on my end with the money parade then I'd get into an Acura if they had a 6spd manual but of course those days are fading too, a Ferrari sounds like wishful thinking so as of now I'll put 400k miles on my 6spd honda 😀 031 miles off the lot and now pushing 135k... I only changed the waterpump on the car March this year. Safe travels ✨️
rear seats no usb?
Still waiting for a long term review on the santa fe hybrid
No heated steering?
To everyone hating on hybrid. Did you know the latest meanest NSX from 2022 was a hybrid. And she a competitor’s choice alright
Come on Honda 7 inch screen for every trim except the top trim. My phone is bigger than that
Did it kept the 12-gal fuel tank? That would be kicking butt!!
The Honda Canada website says that the 2025 gasoline (LX and Sport) Civic sedan models have 46.9 Liter gas tanks (12.39 gallons) and the hybrid sedan gas tanks are 40.36 Liters (10.66 gallons)
@@stevenr1354 😒 They just can't help themselves.
Not going to lie i miss the coupon test 😢😢
how big is the GAS TANK?
hopefully still 12.4 gallons, at least
I believe I either heard or read that it is a 12.4 gallon tank. Don't quote me on that though since I can't remember what car reviewer video/article it came from. I believe it was when the first look came out three weeks ago.

@@stevenr1354 that is unfortunate. Hybrids need to be about range, and -500 miles is NOT good enough. … Corolla and Camry hybrids get 600 and more
You need to do better, Honda
@@brandononbrand500 miles isn't enough? You Americans amaze me with your big roads. 💀
Pricing seems way too close to a 2025 Camry LE and even SE. Both offer more room and power and the LE is even rated with higher fuel economy.
Yeah, too close. Camry you can get a heated steering wheel, they have proper TPM sensors, probably slightly better resale/reliability. I think the Camry looks a bit better also. Unless Honda is discounting these, I would lean towards the Camry.
but the civic is cheaper, faster, and better interior imo especially with that sound system and built in google
@@connke867 Fair enough. I think the Camry interior is nicer, the way the screen in better integrated, rather than looking like it is a tablet glued on. The Google stuff you have you pay an annual fee for. Toyota gives you a spare tire, rear vents, rear USB ports, tire pressor sensors, etc..
Agree @@dakkon74
Yeah I'm a Honda guy in the market again after my 13 civic was totaled and I'm heavily leaning towards a Camry SE. Was really hoping Honda was going to price a hybrid better than this. Plus the colors suck on the civics. Why drop the Aegean Blue for these muted lame colors.
For hybrids are there any additional maintenance that you have to do over a traditional gas car? I don’t know much about hybrids and no one in my family has ever owned one.
There might be a filter for a cooling fan for the high voltage battery which should be regularly checked and/or cleaned. Also, hybrid batteries should not be left idle for long periods of time so the car should be driven at least every few days to keep the battery in varying states of charge.
*Changing the hybrid battery.
*Two different coolant system. One for engine and one for inverter. All high mileage stuff (100-150k)
However Engine and brakes will have less wear and tear. Brakes can last 100k on a hybrid car (motor does the braking)
@@ivanidreadyou’re thinking of the 12v AGM battery, the high voltage traction battery doesn’t lose its state of charge that quickly.
Basically, the Honda Civic has been the same car since 2015. There have only been two small refreshes. I believe that Honda should have come with a brand new car to relaunch hybrid. The new color is beautiful as well as the wheels. For the rest it's pretty ordinary and old-fashioned. I hope they fixed their oil consumption problem. Much too expensive for what it is. Here in Quebec around $45,000 before taxes for that! Keep yours...
No excuse for incandescent lights anywhere on a new car, especially on a hybrid.
Did you see any Nissan Micras?
Unless they change the motor in the new Accords, the Civic is the car of 2025.
I think Honda should drop offering the gas engine and make the Civic Hybrid only.
Lol only old people like hybrid
Oh best believe the next generation will, its been the pattern. Look at the Accord i.e
Which one would you prefer, 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid sport or 2025 Toyota Camry Base model?
I have the same question 😅
16” wheels with 205 width on Camry, good luck on your Camry purchase 🏃
The only thing Camry has is the rear AC vents.. 2nd row legroom is decent in Civic and you get leather and other features vs a bland Camry. IMO Civic is the best
The front changes look more mature and cleaner.
Isn’t Honda-link a subscription service? And, I heard no mention of towing capacity (did I miss that?).
It would be great if you could report on what sort of personal/driving data is obtained from the Honda-link system, and also, where it might go and be used (insurance companies, government agencies, etc.).
Welcome to the terrible Montreal roads.
I wondered why a car company would choose to launch a vehicle here. If these guys think it rides very good here they'll think it rides like a limousine when they try it on a real road.
I want the Honda Civic Hatch hybrid, which doesn't exist. I own a 2012 Honda Civic.
The hatchback will also have the hybrid powertrain
Put some real projectors up front and rear seat vents.
Quite turned off by the lack of driver’s lumbar support even for a loaded trim. What is Honda really thinking?
It looks like the older accord.
🙂👍
Nice car eh?
Man, does the pendulum ever swing. People went from criticizing Honda decades ago for being too boring, then they went to the highly stylized exteriors, that was too much. Now we're back to blah city. Definitely need a sweet spot between the two. CR-V also got hit with the bland-hammer pretty harshly.
Rear seat is a big letdown here, there is just nothing of value there. No sunshades, no vents, no charging ports, hard plastic doors. Yowza. Big miss there. The only thing this one has over a 1975 civic rear seat is headrests lol.
For that reason, I wouldn't choose this one as a family car. Still a great little car I'm sure, and an excellent commuter, but what a lousy passenger experience for your kids.
The center is not faux carbon fiber. Why do people keep saying that? It looks nothing like carbon fiber to be even considered faux
What's the sound level reading guys?
50 mpg is not great for a compact hybrid car. My Sonata hybrid gets around 50 mpg.
As cringe as it may seem lol I wouldn’t downgrade to a new Civic because of the halogen bulbs in the taillights
Soo many spoiled brats in the comments jeez. Car looks great, great review.
No rear vents and no USB charging for rear passengers? Really? Over $30k and Honda leaves these items out? What does that cost…..seriously….like $50 per car to add these. Sheesh
They look alike. Are they brothers?
Yep
No tear vents no rear usb hard plastics in the rear o rear heated seats.
Honda hates tear passengers no rear safety spare tire.
Gloss-black plastic is NOT premium looking. It makes any car look cheaper, and the glare is distracting/annoying. At least they didn’t put it on the center console or ‘touch’ areas.
Yeah. There is a reason the interior of the Accord has no gloss plastic. Matt soft touch = premium. Hard and glossy = cheap
@@DrMacintoshhuh? The new Accords all have the same gloss piano black plastic across the dash that the Pilot, CRV, and Civic have.
I'll take the crappy gloss black plastic over chrome trim which shines the sun in my eyes from 11am-3pm daily.
Camry interior just cheap looking..
Such a nice car but my god did they skimp on stuff that should be standard for all cars regardless of price. I mean seriously, no vents for the back???? FOR THE TOP TRIM????? Wild
no power lift gate either
Honda makes good reliable cars, but neither them nor Toyota are my taste.
Isn’t it the most STOLLEN CAR IN CANADA !
No that’s the f150. The old civic type r hatchback and the si are stolen. No one is going to steal a hybrid civic.
They tried and struck out. The new Camry makes this car a 3rd or 4th option.
@@HallowsawThe high pricing put it in the same class where people will cross shop Civic hybrid with Camry hybrid.
It’s the high price for the top trim, I wouldn’t say they are necessarily the same class
A fully loaded Camry is almost 43k
This is 12k cheaper and is only 10 inches smaller, roughly the same acceleration and power, has a good amount of the same or similar features, and better fuel economy. Personally I think this is a much better deal than a Camry, but look that’s just my opinion, you might feel differently
The camry and corollas are numb, and boring cars to drive. I'd much rather trade a few miles for a better driving and feeling overall car.
honda has forgotten their roots,a compact affordable and fun to drive... it's no longer the case...big heavy,ugly pricy did I forgot something oh yes manual are nearly gone
Toyota used to be the practical, fuel efficient vehicles with boring design and disappointing tech but it looks like Honda has taken that title… except they are still more expensive 😂
You would be wrong.
Honda looks much much better than Toyota.
@@nevada900yup and for the dealerships around me Honda markups are less than Toyota markups too. It sucks that they both still have markups though.
Just my opinion but I think this Civic looks way better than the Corolla.
@@chrissimmons9969 I put this Civic on comparison to the Camry because the price is so similar
Why would anyone go with civic over camry?
Literally no reason
Nice car , way overpriced. Get real honda.
This car is so boring!!!! A 7 inch screen??? A 9 inch screen is the upgrade???? No rear vents??? You got to be cray cray to buy this car!!!! I’m falling asleep rn!!! Honda best step up that game boo boo!!!!!!!
So bland and boring, inside and out.
Wicked bad!
Life is too short to drive boring cars like this
where is your Bugatti then??
So this compact car with lesser economy, lesser power, lesser space and lesser tech is more expensive than the Toyota Camry ? 😂😂😂
No wonder honda will have to discontinue this civic hybrid just like they did with insight many timed😂😂😂
Dumb argument.. worst designs on Toyota and cheap materials high dealer markups.. i’d have to say Ppl are definitely 🐑… im not sure what are you even expecting here .. 100 MPG?
@@harrytej stfu... Can't u comprehend the fact that civic hybrid is an abomination
Civic comes fully loaded for 2k less, Camry LE comes with almost nothing standard and only gets 2 more mpg. Ill take the fully loaded sport hybrid civic all day with that comparison.
No rear HVAC no usb ports no spare tire pricing in camry territory 🫣
