The Compact Sedan Kentucky Drivers Keep Coming Back To

Few cars have earned the kind of loyalty the Honda Civic has. At Gates Honda, we regularly watch a driver near Danville, KY, hand us the keys to one Civic and leave in the next one, and the reason is simple. Every version gets a little better without losing the balance that made people trust it in the first place.

  • Two powertrains are offered: a 150-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a 200-horsepower hybrid system.
  • Honda Sensing driver-assist technology is standard on every trim, right down to the base LX.
  • A full trim-by-trim chart below lays out power, fuel economy, wheels, screens, and audio side by side.

The sedan measures 184.0 inches long on a 107.7-inch wheelbase, so it parks easily while still offering 42.3 inches of front legroom and a 14.8 cubic-foot trunk. That balance covers a grocery run, a commute, and a weekend trip across the Bluegrass equally well.

Two Powertrains with Genuinely Different Personalities

The LX and Sport run a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine making 150 horsepower and 133 lb-ft of torque, with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive. In the LX, that setup returns an EPA-estimated 32 mpg city, 41 mpg highway, and 36 mpg combined. The Sport gives up a little of that, at 31 city and 39 highway, because it rides on wider 18-inch wheels and tires. It gets paddle shifters in exchange, which make the CVT feel more willing on a back road.

The hybrid trims tell a different story. Honda pairs a 141-horsepower version of the same engine with an electric motor rated at 181 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque, and the combined system output is 200 horsepower. Because that torque arrives from a standstill, merging onto the interstate feels immediate rather than strained. Both hybrid trims are rated 50 mpg city, 47 mpg highway, and 49 mpg combined, so the quicker powertrain is also the thriftier one. Steering-wheel deceleration selectors let you dial in regenerative braking and stretch the gap between fill-ups even further.

Honda Civic Technology for Drivers Near Danville, KY

A 7-inch color touchscreen and a 7-inch digital driver display come standard, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth streaming, and USB-C ports up front. The Sport Touring Hybrid moves to a 9-inch touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and it brings Google built-in with Google Maps and the Gemini assistant, wireless smartphone connection, a Qi wireless charging pad, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system with a subwoofer.

Audio scales sensibly across the range, from the LX and its 160-watt four-speaker setup to the 180-watt eight-speaker system in the Sport and Sport Hybrid. Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock and remote engine start arrive on the Sport, a small thing in July and a welcome one in January.

Safety Equipment That Does Not Depend on Which Trim You Pick

Honda Sensing comes standard across the board. That means collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, lane keeping assist with traffic jam assist, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, traffic sign recognition, and auto high-beam headlights on the least expensive car on our lot. Blind Spot Information with Rear Cross Traffic Monitor becomes standard on the Sport, and the Sport Touring Hybrid adds four front and four rear parking sensors along with low-speed braking control.

Comfort follows the same logic. Passenger volume measures 99.0 cubic feet in the gas trims and 96.6 cubic feet in the hybrids, and a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat handles longer cargo on the Sport and above trims. Both hybrids include heated front seats, a power moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and active noise cancellation. The Sport Touring Hybrid adds leather-trimmed seating, an 8-way power driver seat, and rain-sensing wipers.

Hybrid horsepower is total system output; the gasoline engine alone is rated at 141 hp. Equipment and ratings vary by model year and build, so confirm the window sticker on the specific car you are considering.

Charts only take you so far. The gap between the CVT and the hybrid is something you feel in the first quarter mile, so tell us which two trims you are weighing, and we will have both ready.

How many miles per gallon does the Honda Civic get?

The LX earns an EPA-estimated 32 mpg city, 41 mpg highway, and 36 mpg combined with front-wheel drive. The Sport comes in slightly lower at 31 city and 39 highway because of its larger 18-inch wheels. Both hybrid trims are rated 50 mpg city, 47 mpg highway, and 49 mpg combined.
