The Civic Hybrid is the eco-friendly sedan that still knows how to have fun.
Surprisingly zippy performance · Sharp handling on twisty roads
Intrusive road noise · Lacks lumbar support
The 2026 Honda Civic Hybrid is more than just a fuel-sipper; it's a lively, well-rounded sedan that doesn't skimp on style or substance. With its 2.0L Hybrid 4-Cyl i-VTEC engine delivering 181 horsepower, it feels surprisingly zippy, especially on winding roads where its sharp handling shines. What caught us off guard was how much torque it packs—more than the Civic Si, actually—making freeway merges and passing maneuvers a breeze. It's not all roses, though. The road noise can be intrusive, and the lack of lumbar support might leave you fidgeting on longer drives. This car is perfect for someone who values fuel efficiency but doesn't want to compromise on driving enjoyment.
Our pick: Sport Touring ($32,197)
vs. 2026 Toyota Camry: The Civic Hybrid beats the Camry on driving dynamics and torque, but the Camry edges out with a quieter cabin and more back-seat amenities.
