2026 Honda Civic
The 2026 Honda Civic represents modern compact style for budget-conscious drivers. It carries over the best features from the previous model year, which included the updated front fascia elements such as the redesigned headlamp housings and a refreshed bumper. These sleek design cues give the 2026 Civic a bold appearance that helps it stand out in a competitive segment that includes rivals like the Kia K4 and Toyota Corolla.
What truly makes the 2026 Civic such a worthwhile option for sedan shoppers is the availability of the hybrid models within the trim lineup, which gives you more ways to travel and save money while doing so. You can get the Civic Sedan in four different trim grades, two of which are hybrid. There is the entry-level LX, the Sport, the Sport Hybrid, and the Sport Touring Hybrid. Each trim grade appeals to a specific type of shopper, whether you want a basic daily driver, a stylish sedan, or a hybrid commuter.
The 2026 model Civic Sedan comes standard in a four-door design and can seat up to five people across two rows. It features ample cargo capacity in the trunk, with up to 14.8 cu.ft. of cargo volume available for your things. Honda's sporty sedan can also be customized in multiple color options, including Rallye Red, Blue Lagoon Pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, Solar Silver Metallic, Meteorite Gray Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, and Urban Gray Pearl. The different color schemes give shoppers a wide range of options to customize the Civic with its own stylistic flair.

Performance
The 2026 Civic Sedan is available in two different powertrain configurations as a front-wheel drive sedan. The standard 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder produces 150 hp at 133 lb-ft of torque and is paired up with a continuously variable transmission, making it a good option for those who want a basic daily driver that is reliable and functional when it comes to on-road performance. The other powertrain is the 2.0-liter four-cylinder hybrid, which features Honda's two-motor hybrid system with an electric battery. The Civic hybrid models top out at 200 hp and 232 lb-ft of torque.
All Honda Civic models come standard with the Eco Assist system so that you can maximize your travel, and get the most out of the Civic's fuel economy. For the LX, you can expect up to an EPA-estimated 32 MPG in the city and 41 MPG on the highway, while the Sport can achieve 31 MPG in the city and 39 MPG on the highway, and the Sport Hybrid can achieve up to 50 MPG in the city and 47 MPG on the highway.[b] This makes the Civic a fantastic compact for those doing long range commutes on a daily basis. The fuel-saving design means you spend more time on the road and less at the gas pump.
Each Civic trim also comes with selectable Dynamic Drive Modes. The LX offers Normal and Econ, while the Sport and Sport Hybrid include Sport mode in addition to Econ and Normal. The Sport Touring Hybrid adds a fourth mode called Individual, which allows you to fine-tune the driving experience to your liking. Another neat feature of the Civic Sport is that it comes with paddle shifters, so if you want the feeling of manually shifting as you cruise along the highway, it gives you that option, especially as an economical alternative without moving up to the high-end Civic Si.
Comfort and Convenience
Adding to the versatility of the Civic's performance is its thoughtful implementation of comfort and convenience features. Some of the convenience starts with features like remote accessibility, including the available Smart Entry and push button start, so you can quickly get into and start the Civic with ease. Added features like Walk Away Auto Lock also make the Civic highly useful for those who want the convenience of security without having to remember to enable the locks; the vehicle conveniently does it for you.
Inside, you have standard cloth seats, but there is leather-upholstery with an eight-way power adjustable driver seat and four-way power front passenger for the Sport Touring Hybrid. Both hybrid models also come standard with heated seats and dual-zone automatic climate control. You have the added convenience of power door locks and power windows with auto-up/down functionality for the front driver and passenger side windows. Map and cargo lights also come standard across every trim, making it convenient to maintain visibility in low-light areas, while red ambient light is standard on the Sport and above.
There is front-center console storage and beverage holders, which are standard on all options, so you can quickly store trinkets nearby and keep your morning coffee secure during early commutes to work. All trims except the LX come with the rear seat center armrest with beverage holders. Floor mats are also a complimentary addition, along with illuminated steering wheel-mounted controls, so you can easily and conveniently access various features without having to take your eyes off the road.
Technology
Every 2026 Civic comes equipped with a robust suite of modern tech features designed to enhance your driving experience. This includes the highly valuable and practical implementation of LED lighting arrays, including headlights with auto-on/off functionality, daytime running lights, and brake and taillights. These give you a sense of clarity and improved visibility on the road. Power side mirrors are also standard across the trim line, but from the Sport upward, you have a heated feature.
Inside, LX through Sport Hybrid models come with a seven-inch driver information display and a seven-inch touchscreen, making it easy to view telemetry or vehicle health. The Sport Touring Hybrid upgrades to a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a larger nine-inch touchscreen. The top-of-the-line trim also has exclusive access to the Google built-in suite with voice-assistant support, Google Play Store app access, and Google Maps. Added benefits also include the Alexa Built-In support, for voice-activated commands and AI-powered assistance.
Every 2026 Civic model comes standard with Bluetooth HandsFreeLink with hands-free phone calls and text messaging, which is useful if you have to make calls while on the go but don't want to take your hands off the steering wheel or your eyes off the road. On the infotainment front, you have Bluetooth streaming audio, made available with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.
There is also a radio data system with HondaLink services, which enables you to link up the Civic with your smartphone for remote accessibility and vehicle access. This makes it very easy to schedule maintenance for your Civic, remotely locate the vehicle, and keep up-to-date when it comes to vehicle health. The Sport Touring Hybrid also provides you with Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities, HD Radio support, and wireless phone charging.
Safety
Safety is a core part of the Civic's appeal, and every 2026 model comes standard with the Honda Sensing suite of driver-assist technologies. There is a wide array of standard driver assistance, passive safety technologies, and active safety features. These work in conjunction with standard airbag systems, LATCH for lower anchors and tethers for child seats, side-curtain airbags with rollover sensors, and child-proof rear door locks.
Each trim features some noteworthy active safety assists, such as the Rearview Camera with Dynamic Guidelines, which works really well for helping drivers park or back out of the driveway cleanly. Brake Assist makes it convenient for stop-and-go traffic, while Electronic Brake Distribution works well when having to stop quickly on a dime. The VSA, or Vehicle Stability Assist, features traction control to maintain stability during windy, rainy, or snowy weather and to reduce fish-tailing or sliding on wet or icy roads.
The 2026 Civic also comes with Traffic Jam Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition, which makes it easy to navigate during busy bumper-to-bumper traffic or rush hour situations on the highway. Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow makes it convenient for commuting, while the Lane Keeping Assist System and Lane Departure Warning with Road Departure Mitigation are convenient for keeping the vehicle on the road at all times.
The Forward Collision Warning also works in combination with the Collision Mitigation Braking System to reduce the potential for an accident. Available features like the Blind Spot Information System and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor also give you added driving assists to avoid mishaps or collisions during blind spot passes, which adds to the overall safety value of the Civic.
