Hybrid

A new hybrid powertrain is available that substantially increases the compact sedan and hatchback’s combined fuel economy and makes it the most powerful Civic aside from the Type R.

The Santa Fe three-row SUV is unchanged for 2025 beyond a new paint color called Atlantis Blue.

The mid-size RX SUV gains a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a couple of new design packages, but it’s otherwise unchanged.
