2025 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID IS RATED 48 MPG - HERE'S MY CURIOUS RESULT AFTER FILLING UP

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid, specifically the Sport Touring trim, delivers a potent 200 horsepower and a smooth driving experience, particularly in city conditions where it operates predominantly on electric power. The reviewer highlights its quick acceleration and responsive handling, noting excellent brake feel and tight steering. However, the highway experience is marred by significant wind and road noise, making it considerably louder than the Honda Accord Hybrid. While the car's infotainment system is snappy, the reviewer found highway fuel economy disappointing, averaging around 40 MPG despite EPA estimates of 48 MPG combined. The calculated fuel economy after a fill-up was 47.2 MPG, which, while accurate to the car's display, fell short of expectations given the reviewer's conservative driving style. The reviewer concludes that for those prioritizing highway comfort and quietness, the Accord Hybrid or even the Toyota Camry would be superior choices.
