Trims, Powertrain, and Performance

The ‘26 Civic Sedan is a dependable compact car offered in a pair of trim choices: LX and Sport. A 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (output: 150 horsepower) forms the powertrain with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The front-wheel drivetrain provides smooth acceleration and keeps the fuel economy numbers strong: According to the EPA’s official estimations, the LX returns 32 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway, while the Sport achieves 31 mpg city/39 mpg highway.

Standard Equipment

The LX is equipped with a good array of amenities, such as single-zone automatic climate control, auto-on/off LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, power-adjustable side-view mirrors, a 7-inch gauge cluster, two USB-C ports, a 12-volt power outlet, and power windows with front-row auto up/down. The seats are upholstered with cloth, and the back row folds down in one piece to accommodate longer items in the trunk.

The Sport adds an extra layer of athleticism and sophistication with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, black exterior accents, a chrome exhaust finisher, sport pedals, red ambient interior lighting, and a black headliner. For convenience, its power side-view mirrors are heated, and the rear seatback splits 60/40 and folds down while accommodating a center armrest and cupholders. Honda’s Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock system is also standard for effortless access and extra security.

Active Safety Features

Whether you choose the LX or Sport, you’ll get the Honda Sensing suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies. This comprehensive system consists of forward collision warning, lane departure warning, collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, traffic sign recognition, traffic jam assist, and automatic high beams. The Sport also gets blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Infotainment and Connectivity

A 7-inch touchscreen houses the infotainment system in the ’26 Civic Sedan. Its components are Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming. For sound, the LX gets four speakers while the Sport is upgrades to eight. Both trims get access to HondaLink remote vehicle services, allowing you to stay connected to your ‘26 Civic Sedan through your smartphone.
