Engine and Power
The Civic sedan has two main engine choices for 2025. The normal one is a 2-litre petrol engine that gives 150 PS power and 133 Nm strength, good for city rides. The new hybrid model has a 2-litre petrol engine with two electric motors, giving a total of 200 PS power and 232 Nm strength, which makes it faster and saves fuel. Both engines come with a gear system that shifts automatically. The hybrid can go from 0 to 100 km per hour in about 6.6 seconds, while the normal engine takes around 9 seconds. The top speed is about 190 km per hour for the hybrid and 180 km per hour for the normal engine.
Mileage and Range
The hybrid Civic sedan can go 22 km on one litre of petrol in the city and 20 km on highways, as per usual tests, making a combined 21 km per litre. In real use, it might give 18-20 km per litre in the city and up to 22 km per litre on open roads if you drive at a steady 60-80 km per hour. The normal petrol engine gives around 14 km per litre in the city and 17 km per litre on highways, making a combined 15.5 km per litre. The fuel tank holds 47 litres, so the hybrid can go 846-987 km on a full tank, while the normal one can go 658-799 km, depending on how you drive. With petrol at Rs 100 per litre, filling the tank costs Rs 4700, which works out to Rs 4.76 to 5.56 per km for the hybrid and Rs 6.25 to 7.14 per km for the normal engine.
Inside the Car
The inside of the Civic sedan is modern and comfy, with a clean look. It has a 9-inch touchscreen for music and phone use, which works with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay without wires.

The boot space is 419 litres, which is good for shopping or small trips, and there’s a big space in the middle to keep things like phones and keys.
Ride and Handling
The Civic sedan has a strong frame that keeps it steady when turning or going fast. The front suspension makes turns smooth, and the back suspension helps on rough roads.

The hybrid model has a special brake system that saves energy when you slow down, which helps the battery charge.

The normal petrol version starts at around Rs 24,250 in other countries, while the hybrid starts at Rs 30,100. Some reports say there might be offers in 2025 that lower the price a bit at some showrooms.
Safety Features
The Civic sedan is very safe, with a 5-star safety rating from a big testing group. It has 6 airbags, a system to stop skidding, and brakes that work well in emergencies.
