Gas-only guide
The 2026 gas Civic is a focused lineup rather than a full redesign. Sedan shoppers can choose LX or Sport, while the gas-powered hatchback is offered as Sport. Each uses a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engine, continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive.
That makes the gas Civic a straightforward choice for shoppers who value predictable performance, practical fuel economy and familiar Honda engineering. Hybrid models are covered separately so you can compare the two powertrains without mixing trims or specifications.

The Civic Hybrid raises output to 200 horsepower and offers EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 50 MPG city. Visit our dedicated guide for hybrid trims, mileage, features and inventory.
Video overview
Take a closer look at the Civic's design, cabin and everyday driving features.
Everyday performance
The 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 150 horsepower and pairs with a CVT. The setup favors smooth response and efficient commuting, while the Civic's steering and composed chassis keep it engaging on city streets and highway ramps.
The Sedan LX earns the strongest gas-model EPA estimate at 32 MPG city, 41 highway and 36 combined. Sport models trade a small amount of rated economy for larger wheels and a more athletic appearance.
Minnesota practicality
Every regular gas Civic is front-wheel drive. It does not offer AWD, so winter tires remain one of the most meaningful upgrades for Twin Cities snow and cold-weather traction.
Because the gas Civic does not require charging, it also fits drivers who want an efficient compact car with a familiar ownership routine.
Choose your body style
The sedan has a traditional trunk with 14.8 cubic feet of cargo room and offers both LX and Sport gas trims. Choose it for maximum highway fuel economy, a sleek profile and strong everyday value.
The gas hatchback comes in Sport trim and provides 24.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. Its wide liftgate opening makes it easier to carry bulky groceries, luggage or outdoor gear.
