Trims and Powertrains

The 2026 Civic Hatchback offers buyers three trims to choose from: Sport, Sport Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid. The base Sport marries an Atkinson-cycle inline four-cylinder engine to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with paddle shifters, for an output of 150 horsepower and 133 lb.-ft. of torque. The two hybrid trims pair the Atkinson four-cylinder with two electric motors to get 200 total horsepower and 232 lb.-ft. of torque.

The Sport returns an EPA-estimated 30 mpg city and 38 mpg highway, while the two hybrid trims achieve 50 mpg city and 45 mpg highway. All trims are front-wheel drive and ride on MacPherson front struts and a multi-link rear suspension with a stabilizer bar. The hybrid trims have deceleration selectors and an electro-servo brake, while the Sport Touring Hybrid alone gets wheel resonators. The Sport and Sport Hybrid have three drive settings: Econ, Normal, and Sport, joined by the customizable Individual drive mode on the Sport Touring Hybrid.
