Hybrid Power: Smooth, Quiet & Powerful
Under the hood lies Honda’s latest e:HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) powertrain. Unlike conventional hybrids, the 2025 Civic Hybrid uses a 2.0L Atkinson-cycle petrol engine paired with two electric motors – one for propulsion and the other for energy generation.
This combination delivers:
- 184 PS of power
- 315 Nm of torque
- Electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (e-CVT)
This setup allows the Civic Hybrid to switch seamlessly between EV mode, hybrid mode, and engine drive, offering instant torque and a whisper-quiet ride during city commutes.
Whether you’re navigating Kuala Lumpur traffic or zipping down the PIE in Singapore, the Civic Hybrid offers a refined, responsive, and efficient driving experience.
Exterior & Interior Design That Turns Heads
Honda didn’t hold back when it came to design. The 2025 Civic Hybrid sports a matured, European-inspired aesthetic, featuring a lower beltline, longer hood, and a cleaner rear profile.
On the inside, it’s even more impressive. You’re welcomed by a driver-centric cabin with premium materials like soft-touch dashboard trims, brushed aluminium accents, and a honeycomb mesh air vent design that runs across the dash.
Add to that a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and ambient lighting, and you have a car that feels every bit as premium as cars twice its price.
What’s New in the 2025 Edition?
Honda made strategic upgrades to the Civic Hybrid this year, focusing on refinement and tech enhancement. Here’s what’s newly introduced:
- Improved hybrid power management for better throttle response and efficiency
- Enhanced Honda Sensing system with updated radar and camera calibration
- Quieter cabin insulation with acoustic glass and better underbody damping
- New Sonic Grey Pearl and Midnight Blue paint options
- Updated infotainment UI with faster response time and better resolution
These changes make the Civic Hybrid feel like a car from the next segment up, while still being accessible in pricing.
Fuel Economy & Hybrid Efficiency
Fuel efficiency has always been the crown jewel of hybrid vehicles, and the 2025 Civic Hybrid nails it. With the latest e:HEV system, Honda claims:
- Up to 27.8 km/L in combined cycle (Singapore WLTP)
- Up to 25.3 km/L based on Malaysian driving conditions
The Civic Hybrid is especially efficient in stop-and-go traffic — common in Klang Valley or Singapore CBD zones. Thanks to regenerative braking and intelligent EV mode switching, it saves fuel in ways you can actually notice at the pump.
Regional Launch & Availability
The 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid is now officially available across Honda dealerships in Malaysia and Singapore, with test drive units already arriving at selected showrooms.
In Singapore, the Civic Hybrid is offered under VES Band A2, qualifying for a rebate under the Vehicle Emissions Scheme, making it a smart choice for eco-conscious buyers.
In Malaysia, Honda Malaysia is offering introductory packages with free service and a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty on both the hybrid battery and powertrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid available in both right-hand drive markets?
Yes, the 2025 Civic Hybrid is manufactured specifically for right-hand drive regions including Malaysia and Singapore, ensuring all safety and design features are tailored to local driving standards.
2. Does the hybrid system require special maintenance?
Not really. Honda’s e:HEV system is self-charging, so there’s no need to plug it in. Regular service intervals are nearly identical to petrol models, and Honda offers an 8-year warranty for the hybrid battery.
3. Is there a difference in features between Singapore and Malaysia models?
Both markets get identical specifications, especially in the RS trim. However, Singapore versions may include additional features or accessories based on COE category and local incentives.
4. Can the car run on electric power alone?
Yes, the car can operate in EV mode at low speeds or light throttle conditions. However, it isn’t a plug-in hybrid, so range in EV mode is limited to city usage.
5. Is the 2025 Civic Hybrid suitable for long-distance driving?
Absolutely. Thanks to the efficient hybrid system and large fuel tank, you can easily cover over 800 km on a full tank, making it great for intercity drives between Penang and KL or even a weekend trip to Johor.
6. How does the Civic Hybrid compare to the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid?
The Civic Hybrid offers a more dynamic driving experience, a sedan body style, and arguably a more premium interior. The Corolla Cross, on the other hand, offers SUV practicality. It comes down to preference — but in terms of efficiency and tech, Honda is on par or better.
Who Should Buy the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid?
The 2025 Civic Hybrid is perfect for those who want a smart mix of performance, sustainability, and elegance. You’ll love this car if:
- You drive daily in urban centres like KL, Penang, or Singapore and want better fuel efficiency.

- You appreciate high-end features but don’t want to overspend on luxury brands.
- You want the latest safety tech and a car that’s future-ready.

In short, it’s a car that speaks to the modern Southeast Asian urban driver — smart, efficient, and stylish.
