2025 Civic gasoline vs hybrid horsepower: compare the right measures.

The short answer

How much horsepower does a 2025 Honda Civic sedan have?

The 2025 US Civic LX and Sport sedans have a 150-horsepower 2.0L gasoline engine (SAE net); the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid are rated at 200 total system horsepower (ISO net). The hybrid number is powertrain output, not solely the combustion-engine horsepower.

Applicable to: US-market Honda Civic SEDAN 2025 named LX, Sport, Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid trims. Manufacturer's different SAE engine and ISO total-system measurement labels must remain distinct.

02 / Before you use these values

Match the exact vehicle.

Check 1

Do not label the hybrid's 200-hp total system number as gasoline-engine-only horsepower; Honda uses a different power output measure.

Check 2

Match the US 2025 sedan body style and exact trim, not the Type R, Si, hatchback or a different market.

Check 3

The engine horsepower and EPA fuel economy are different questions. See the related Civic tank and EPA comparison for fuel consumption.
