Revamped Honda Civic, smarter and electrified

Road Report

Since its introduction in 1972, the Honda Civic has been a stalwart of the Honda line-up, cementing itself in near-iconic  status on a global scale. Now the 11th generation has received an extensive facelift, with the 2025 Honda Civic building upon  its enduring legacy with a bold, future-focused approach to automotive design and technology – redefining standards in the  compact hatchback segment.

As a flagship model in Honda’s portfolio for over five decades, the Civic has achieved cumulative global sales of more than  27.6 million units across 130 countries and territories, with production spanning eight factories worldwide. Its enduring  popularity is evident, with the 2023 model alone reaching over 450,000 units in annual sales.

The 2025 Honda Civic SR e:HEV is an exciting proposition for businesses looking for a fleet vehicle that combines  sophistication, efficiency, and advanced technology. Its hybrid system, featuring a 2.0L engine paired with an electric motor  and a 1.01kWh battery, delivers outstanding fuel economy ranging from 5.3-5.8L/100km, making it a cost-effective choice for  companies focused on reducing operational expenses without sacrificing performance.

The Civic’s premium-class design ensures a positive impression for businesses where appearance matters. With bold  exterior styling, including gloss- black accents and standout colours (including the new Ocean Blue Pearl), it projects a  professional yet modern image. Inside, the luxurious upholstery, expansive windscreen, and advanced noise-cancellation  system provide a comfortable, quiet cabin, ideal for executives commuting, and although spacious, not quite roomy enough  for clients to be chauffeured.

The 2025 Civic is also a ‘tech-forward’ option, catering to the digital demands of modern businesses. The integration of  Google technology enables seamless phone connections, cabin controls, and access to navigation and entertainment  systems via the nine-inch touchscreen, all of which are complemented by a premium Bose audio set-up. Additionally, the car’s new Individual drive mode can be fine-tuned for different driver preferences, catering to diverse usage scenarios within a fleet.

Safety and driver assist features, such as the wide-angle 100-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and  regenerative braking paddles, make this model perfect for both city commutes and longer journeys, minimising driver fatigue  and enhancing overall safety. These features are particularly beneficial for businesses that prioritise employee well-being and risk reduction.

While the price point of $59,990 (plus on-road costs) may initially seem high, the Civic SR e:HEV justifies the cost with its  advanced hybrid technology, class-leading efficiency, and premium amenities. For businesses with sustainability goals or  those looking to reinforce an environmentally conscious corporate image, the Civic’s alignment with Environmental, Social,  and Governance (ESG) principles further adds value. It’s not just a car; it’s a statement of responsibility and innovation.

The 2025 Honda Civic SR e:HEV offers businesses a well-rounded, eco-friendly, and technologically advanced solution with  low running costs and high levels of comfort and safety. Whether for fleet purchases or executive transportation, it’s an  attractive blend of style, substance, and practicality.
