2025 Honda Civic Hatchback Summary Points
The 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback has gained similar updates that we first saw in the 2025 Civic Sedan, including a 200-horsepower two-motor hybrid powertrain with excellent fuel economy.
“With our new Honda Civic hybrid models, which now includes the first-ever Civic Hatchback hybrid, we’ve electrified America’s number one retail compact car and our highest volume gateway model,” said Jessika Laudermilk, Assistant Vice President of Honda Auto Sales.
Prices start at $31,045 (including the $1,095 destination charge) for the Civic Hatchback Sport Hybrid. The non-hybrid Civic Hatchback Sport has a $28,545 starting MSRP.
2025 Honda Civic Hatchback Powertrain
The Honda Civic Hatchback is undergoing a few subtle and not-too-obvious changes for the 2025 model year. Like its 2025 Civic Sedan brethren, Honda ditched the LX, EX-L, and Touring trim grades for a more simplistic lineup.
The Civic Hatchback Sport is the new base model for 2025. It’s the only one with a non-hybrid powertrain, a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder with 150 horsepower and 133 lb-ft. of torque. The engine turns the front wheels using Honda’s CVT, or Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission.
Meanwhile, the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid mark the first time a hybrid variant of the Civic Hatchback has been available in the United States. Both models have the Atkinson cycle 2.0-liter four-cylinder but with two hybrid-electric motors. The Civic Hatchback hybrids have 200 horsepower (total system output) and 232 lb-ft. of torque, making them the most potent Civics outside of the Type R.
Built at Honda’s Anna Engine Plant in Ohio, most of the significant components of the 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder have been redesigned and improved, including the block, main bearing caps, cylinder heads, connecting rods, and camshafts. The two-motor hybrid-electric power unit is built by associates at the Honda Transmission Plant, also in Ohio.

Styling & Equipment Updates
The new Civic Hatchback has inherited the styling changes of the redesigned Civic Sedan. It includes a Type R-derived front grille, bespoke dark trim, and black 18-inch alloy wheels for all Hatchback Sport trim grades. Meanwhile, the Sport Hybrid has dual automatic climate control, a seven-inch touchscreen, a moonroof, and heated front seats.
On the other hand, the range-topping Sport Touring Hybrid receives custom machine-finished alloy wheels, wireless smartphone charging, a nine-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 12-speaker Bose stereo.
Other tech features include Google built-in with Google Assistant, Google Maps, and downloadable Google Play apps using the complimentary three-year unlimited data plan. Both the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid are available with a gray interior.
