With its affordable price, clean design, agile moves, and economical powertrains, the Honda Civic remains the benchmark of the compact-car class.
Underpowered with base engine, all-wheel drive isn't an option, large interior displays are exclusive to the top trim.
In our test drive of a Civic Hybrid , we found it to be quick, smooth, and nearly as enjoyable as the sportier Civic Si.
0-60 mph (non-hybrid 2.0L): 9.6 sec · 0-60 mph (Hybrid): 6.1 sec · 0-60 mph (Si): 7.0 sec
Shoppers in the market for a compact should consider the 2026 Honda Civic, one of the most well-rounded sedans and hatchbacks currently available.
Additionally, these entry-level models have small screens and mediocre backup camera picture quality.
The sprint from 0-60 mph takes just 6.1 seconds, making this the quickest Civic variant outside of the Type R.
