Honda Civic Hybrid for Sale Lexington, KY
Fifty MPG in Town Without Giving Up the Fun Part
The Civic has been the safe choice for drivers who want something dependable yet still fun to drive for decades. The hybrid version adds a second reason to pay attention. Its two-motor system returns up to 50 mpg in city driving while matching the sporty Si on horsepower. If you have been looking for a Honda Civic Hybrid for sale in Lexington, KY, this one is worth a look.
- A 2.0-liter engine paired with two electric motors produces a total of 200 system horsepower.
- Sedan and hatchback body styles share the same hybrid powertrain and the full Honda Sensing safety suite.
- Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid differ mainly in screen size, audio, and interior materials.
At Gates Honda, we sell and service Hondas as part of a fourth-generation family business that started in 1915. Central Kentucky drivers usually arrive with the same two questions about hybrids. Will it feel slow, and will it be a headache to own? The Civic Hybrid settles both questions within about ten minutes behind the wheel.
Two Motors, One Very Willing Powertrain
Under the hood sits a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder rated at 141 horsepower, working alongside an electric motor good for 181 horsepower on its own. Together they produce 200 total system horsepower, the same figure Honda quotes for the turbocharged Si. The electric side contributes 232 lb-ft of torque from a standstill through about 2,000 rpm, and that low-end shove is what you feel most. Pulling into traffic from a side road happens without the hesitation people associate with older hybrids.
Power runs to the front wheels through a direct-drive two-motor system with steering-wheel deceleration selectors, so you can dial regenerative braking up or down depending on whether you are coasting down a grade or holding speed on I-75. The sedan earns an EPA-estimated 50 mpg city and 47 mpg highway, while the hatchback comes in at 50 city and 45 highway. With a 10.6-gallon tank, one fill covers a lot of commuting.
Screens Sized to the Trim You Pick
The Sport Hybrid keeps things straightforward with a 7-inch color touchscreen, a 7-inch digital driver display, and an 180-watt audio system running eight speakers. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as are dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a one-touch power moonroof. Having that group standard changes how the car feels on a cold February morning.
The Sport Touring Hybrid moves to a 9-inch touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and it brings Google built-in for voice commands, maps, and apps handled natively rather than through your phone. Smartphone connection goes wireless at this trim, a Qi charging pad sits in the console, and a 12-speaker Bose premium system replaces the standard audio. Leather-trimmed seats with power adjustment for both front occupants round out the interior upgrades.
Safety Equipment and Room for Actual Adults
Honda Sensing comes standard on every Civic Hybrid, and the list is deep. Collision Mitigation Braking, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, and Traffic Sign Recognition all ship on the Sport Hybrid. Blind Spot Information with Rear Cross Traffic Monitor is standard across the hybrid trims. The Sport Touring Hybrid adds front and rear parking sensors plus low-speed braking control.
Space holds up for a compact. Front legroom measures 42.3 inches with 37.4 inches in back, so a six-footer behind another six-footer works for a weekend trip. The sedan gives you 14.8 cubic feet of trunk space, while the hatchback offers 24.5 cubic feet behind the rear seats. Active Noise Cancellation and an acoustic laminate windshield are standard, and the cabin stays quieter at highway speed than the price point suggests.

Most buyers opt for the sedan for its better highway rating, while the hatchback wins when cargo flexibility matters. The honest way to decide is to sit in both and drive them back-to-back. We keep both body styles in stock for that reason, and nobody here will rush you through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many miles per gallon does the Civic Hybrid get?
The Honda Civic Hybrid sedan delivers an EPA-estimated 50 mpg city, 47 mpg highway, or 49 mpg combined. The hatchback rates 50 mpg city and 45 mpg highway for a 48 mpg combined figure. Both body styles use the same 10.6-gallon fuel tank, so the stretch between fill-ups gets long in a hurry.
What trim levels does this Honda Hybrid come in?
Honda builds the Civic Hybrid in two trims, Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid, and both are offered as a sedan or a hatchback. All four configurations share the same 200-horsepower two-motor hybrid powertrain. The Sport Touring Hybrid adds the larger screens, the Bose audio system, and leather-trimmed seating.
Does the Honda Civic Hybrid need to be plugged in?
No. The Civic Hybrid is a full hybrid, which means it charges its own battery through the gas engine and regenerative braking. You fill it with regular unleaded and drive, with no charging cable or home charger involved.
Where can I find a Honda Civic Hybrid for sale in Lexington, KY?
Gates Honda is a full-line Honda dealership, and we carry the Civic Hybrid in both sedan and hatchback form. Our sales team will walk you through the differences between the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid without pressuring you to decide that afternoon. Browse our current models online or stop by for a test drive.
How long is the hybrid battery covered under warranty?
Honda covers the hybrid powertrain and high-voltage battery for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. That sits on top of the 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty and the 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain coverage. Our Honda-certified technicians at Gates Honda handle that work in-house.
Is the Civic Hybrid quick, or does the fuel economy come at a cost?
It is quick. The electric motor delivers 232 lb-ft of torque almost immediately off the line, so the Civic Hybrid feels stronger around town than its mpg numbers might suggest. Total system output of 200 horsepower matches the sporty Civic Si.

Yes. Use the Value Your Trade tool on our website to see what your car is worth, then we apply that figure toward your Civic Hybrid. Our finance team, including the Gates Fresh Start program, works with buyers across a wide range of credit situations.
