More than two decades ago, the Civic Hybrid helped reinforce Honda’s reputation for innovation and practicality, with fuel economy that was substantially better than its already efficient conventional Civic counterpart. Eventually, the Civic Hybrid left Honda’s lineup for a decade, returning last model year to considerable fanfare. This more modern version brings with it stellar EPA ratings (up to 50 mpg) along with a performance upgrade. With 200 horsepower happening under its hood, today’s Civic Hybrid redefines the compact sedan.
For 2026, the Civic Hybrid continues to defy expectations with standard premium features like a power moonroof and heated front seats, keeping it ahead in a competitive segment. In addition to generous cabin space, the Civic Hybrid Sedan boasts a trunk almost as large as the Honda Accord’s. Value is also an unwavering Honda trait, and the 2026 Civic Hybrid certainly has it. Owners benefit from the Honda Service Pass program, which covers the first year of standard scheduled maintenance.
This overview explores the 2026 Civic Sedan Hybrid. Look for our separate pages on the other Civic editions: the non-hybrid Civic Sedan, Civic Hatchback, Civic Hatchback Hybrid, Civic Si, and Civic Type R.
The Civic Sedan Hybrid is made in a simple lineup of just the Sport and Sport Touring trims. They both use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder paired with dual electric motors. The model’s output totals 200 horsepower, which is sent to the front-wheel drivetrain through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The Civic Sedan Hybrid is EPA-rated to achieve 50 mpg in the city and 47 mpg on the highway. The trunk can hold 14.8 cubic feet of cargo.
The entry-level Sport is well equipped with a power moonroof, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, LED exterior lighting with automatic headlamps, proximity keyless entry, and push-button start, fabric upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a 7-inch driver display, red ambient cabin lighting, and a 60/40-split folding rear seatback with a center armrest and cupholders. Its other standard features include heated power side-view mirrors, a tilt-and-telescopic steering column, four USB ports (two per row), and 18-inch gloss-black alloy wheels.
Upscale touches are the name of the game with the higher-ranking Sport Touring, which has leather upholstery, wireless device charging, an eight-way power driver’s seat, a four-way power front passenger seat, and a 10.2-inch driver display. It also adds rain-sensing wipers, integrated side-mirror turn indicators, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and 18-inch wheels with matte-gray inserts.
Honda includes a set of airbags on both trims, along with anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control, and a multi-angle rearview camera with dynamic guidelines. Honda Sensing is also standard . This safety-tech suite consists of forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, traffic jam assist, traffic sign recognition, a driver-attention monitor, and automatic high beams. The Sport Touring adds low-speed automatic braking and front and rear parking sensors.
Infotainment in the Civic Hybrid Sport happens through a 7-inch touchscreen, while the Sport Touring goes larger with a 9-inch touchscreen. Both systems have Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity (wireless on the Sport Touring), Bluetooth, and integration with the HondaLink app. The Sport Touring’s platform has Google built-in features such as Google Maps and Google Assistant, plus Wi-Fi hotspot capability. The Sport has a more basic audio system with four speakers, while the Sport Touring moves to a 12-speaker Bose arrangement.
