The 2025 model year was a big one for the Honda Civic, which saw the return of a hybrid powertrain option that catapulted EPA combined fuel-economy ratings from the mid-30s into the high 40s. Still riding that high, Honda made no changes to any member of the diverse Civic lineup for 2026. The sedan, hatchback and Si all enter the new model year unchanged, with prices for most variations increasing by at least $345 from 2025 (details on the Sport hatchback and Type R will be available later). The 2026 Civic starts at $25,745 (all prices include $1,150 destination charge).

What Are the 2026 Honda Civic’s Trim Levels?
The base LX trim level is only available as a sedan. It rides on 16-inch wheels and features LED exterior lighting, keyless entry and push-button start, automatic climate control, four speakers, and a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Honda Sensing safety suite is standard on every 2026 Civic; it includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-centering steering, adaptive cruise control, traffic-jam assist, road-sign recognition and automatic high beams.
From the Sport on up, the Civic sedan and hatchback are identically equipped. The Sport trims ride on black 18-inch wheels and gain heated side mirrors, remote start, red ambient lighting, metal pedals and eight speakers. In addition to its upgraded engine, the Sport hybrid includes a moonroof, heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control. Blind spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alert join the standard equipment list at the Sport trim.
The Sport Touring features leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats and rain-sensing windshield wipers. It gets a cabin tech overhaul including a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9-inch touchscreen with Google and Alexa Built-In, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger and a 12-speaker Bose sound system. The Sport Touring hybrid also gains front and rear parking sensors.
The performance-focused Civic Si is only available as a sedan and rides on a sport suspension with a limited-slip differential and matte-black 18-inch wheels. In terms of content, it splits the difference between the Sport and Sport Touring trim levels, boasting all of the latter’s tech upgrades (minus the wireless phone charger) but forgoing luxury items like leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats and dual-zone climate control. The Si gets blind spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alert, but no parking sensors.

What Are the 2026 Honda Civic’s Powertrain Specs and MPG?
The Civic LX and Sport are powered by a 150-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 133 pounds-feet of torque; it sends power through a continuously variable automatic transmission to the front wheels. Honda says the Civic LX sedan returns the same EPA-rated 32/41/36 mpg city/highway/combined as the 2025 model, while the Sport checks in at 31/39/34 (official EPA ratings for the 2026 model are not yet available). The Sport hatchback is rated at 30/38/34 mpg.
Hybrid Civics also have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, but a pair of electric motors not only make the Civic more efficient, they bump total output up to 200 hp. A CVT and front-wheel drive are also the only drivetrain in the hybrid. The hybrid sedans return 50/47/49 mpg, while the hatchbacks are rated at 50/45/48 mpg.
The Civic Si’s four-cylinder engine displaces only 1.5 liters, but a turbocharger boosts it to 200 hp and 192 pounds-feet of torque. While also FWD, the Si is only offered with a six-speed manual transmission. It’s good for an EPA-rated 27/37/31 mpg.
