2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Named
North American Car of the Year™

The 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid has been named the North American Car of the Year™, making it the most awarded model in the history of the award. This marks the Civic nameplate’s fourth win — more than any other vehicle — and highlights its blend of sporty performance, hybrid efficiency, and Honda’s signature fun-to-drive feel.

Judged by 50 independent automotive journalists from across the U.S. and Canada, the North American Car of the Year™ Award is one of the most respected honors in the auto industry. Vehicles are evaluated on innovation, performance, safety, design, driver satisfaction, and overall value.

A Record-Breaking Milestone for Civic

This year’s win is the fourth North American Car of the Year™ award for the Civic, setting a record unmatched by any other nameplate. It’s also the second win for the 11th-generation Civic and the seventh time a Honda vehicle has received top honors — including past wins for the Civic, Accord, and Ridgeline.

Why the Civic Hybrid Won

The Civic Hybrid stands out with a fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain, refined styling, and an interior that balances comfort and quality. It offers exceptional value while delivering a driving experience that exceeds expectations in its class.

Hybrid Power with a Purpose

Offered as both a sedan and hatchback, the 2025 Civic Hybrid delivers 200 total system horsepower and 232 lb.-ft. of torque — the highest for any non-Type R Civic to date. Built with Honda’s fourth-generation two-motor hybrid-electric system, it offers quick acceleration and impressive fuel economy, including an EPA-estimated 50 mpg city rating for select trims.

Engineered for Performance and Comfort

With special suspension tuning, hybrid-specific tires, and advanced noise reduction technology, the Civic Hybrid balances responsive handling with refined ride quality. Sport Touring models even include Active Noise Control and wheel resonators for the quietest cabin experience in the Civic lineup.

Driving Honda’s Electrification Strategy

The Civic Hybrid is expected to represent about 40% of Civic sales in 2025, playing a key role in Honda’s electrification goals. It joins the Accord and CR-V in offering hybrid trims powered by Honda’s award-winning two-motor system — recently recognized with a Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems award.

Built in North America

Honda’s hybrid power unit is assembled in Ohio, along with its 2.0L Atkinson-cycle engine — both featuring redesigned components for improved efficiency and performance. The Civic Sedan is built in Alliston, Ontario, while the Civic Hatchback (including hybrid models) is produced in Greensburg, Indiana.

A Legacy of Leadership

With over 15 million Civics sold in North America since 1973, and nearly 12 million produced here, the Civic remains one of the top three best-selling passenger cars in America. It’s also a favorite among Gen Z buyers, multicultural customers, and first-time car shoppers. The 2025 Civic Hybrid continues that tradition with a new standard for efficiency, performance, and value.
