In their latest review, TheStraightPipes take on the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid, a car that's undergone a significant facelift. The updated looks feature a GT3-inspired fish mouth grille and an R8-esque panel under the headlights, giving the sedan a fresh and sporty appearance. The team delves into the sedan's design tweaks, pointing out the unique front bumper angle that adds a touch of aggression to the overall aesthetic. They also mention the exclusive rear heated seats in the Canadian version, a feature that sets it apart from its American counterpart.

Behind the wheel, the Civic Hybrid impresses with its 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque from a 2L 4-cylinder hybrid engine. The hosts put the car through its paces, testing its handling and body rigidity improvements, all while enjoying the quiet cabin and the benefits of lower rolling resistance tires. They discuss the touchy throttle response, a result of the high torque output, and delve into the hybrid system's innovative approach that eliminates the need for a traditional transmission.

The review covers various aspects of the Civic Hybrid, from its regenerative paddles and drive modes to the integration of Google on the top trim. The hosts explore the car's tech features, including the full digital gauge cluster, CarPlay, and Android Auto. They also touch on the comfortable seating, trunk space, and suspension improvements that enhance the overall driving experience. With exclusive colors for the hatchback and a seamless hybrid powertrain, the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid proves to be a compelling option in the hybrid sedan segment.
