Honda last stuck a hybrid badge on a U.S.-bound Civic for 2015, with the powertrain option skipping the 10th generation entirely. The Civic-adjacent third-gen Insight carried the compact-hybrid torch briefly until it went away after 2022. So, it's been some time.These days, though, Honda makes it hard to choose anything but the hybrid. With the CR-V and the Accord, the fancy lineup-topping trims are available only as gas-electrics.
Everything else feels conventional. You notice the extra weight at times—over humps on the highway and during hard suspension impacts—but it's not obnoxious, and the structure feels as solid as any other Civic's. The brake-pedal feedback is meager at low speeds, but you can never tell you're modulating a blended system.
