Since it first rolled off the production line in 1972, the Honda Civic has consistently been the perfect daily commuter. Buyers can choose between two body styles at the Honda dealership: the 2025 Honda Civic Sedan if they need the most fuel efficiency and the 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback if they need extra cargo space. more The 2025 Honda Civic Sedan vs. the 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback: A Honda Dealership Guide The Sedan Is More Fuel-Efficient The Honda Civic's base engine is a 2.0L Atkinson-Cycle inline-4, producing 150 horsepower and 133 lb-ft of torque. It features VTC technology and comes mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT.)  Despite producing identical power and torque figures in both body styles, the engine delivers an EPA-estimated 36 mpg combined in the base sedan and 34 mpg combined in the base hatchback. At the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid trim levels, the Honda Civic's powertrain incorporates a 2.0L inline-4 and two electric motors, producing a net 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque. The more efficient hybrid sedan comes equipped with an eCVT and delivers 49 mpg combined, while the hybrid hatchback models feature an LL-CVT and deliver 48 mpg combined. Some of the sedan's fuel efficiency comes from its more aerodynamic design and lighter body weight. The Hatchback Offers More Cargo Space Opening up the Civic Sedan's rear trunk reveals 14.8 cubic feet of cargo room, which is ample space to store a month's worth of groceries. The Civic Hatchback offers a more generous 24.5 cubic feet behind its liftgate, making it more suitable for stowing luggage on a family getaway. Additionally, the hatchback body style allows you to haul bigger payloads by folding the rear seats. The Hybrid Sedans Are More Spacious At the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid trim levels, the sedans provide 39.3 inches of front headroom, while the hatchback variants provide 37.6 inches. This is because the sedans feature a longer chassis, measuring 184.8 inches compared to the hatchback's 179 inches, which translates to more room for the high-voltage battery. However, both body styles offer a comfortable 42.3 inches of front legroom and 37.4 inches of rear legroom across all trim levels. The Sedan Features the More Affordable LX Trim The Honda Civic Sedan lineup features the LX trim, which provides a lower entry price for buyers on a tight budget. For comparison, the Civic Hatchback starts at the higher Sport trim level, which offers numerous upgrades over the LX, such as heated power side mirrors, Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock, a sport pedal, and a leather-wrapped shift knob.
