Powertrains and Performance

The 2026 Honda Civic is powered by a responsive 2.0-liter inline-four engine featuring i-VTEC variable valve timing, direct fuel injection, and Idle-Stop technology for maximum efficiency.

The Sport trim's ratings are nearly as impressive at 31 MPG city, 39 MPG highway, and 34 MPG combined.

The 2026 Honda Civic comes standard with front-wheel drive for confident traction and handling in a variety of road and weather conditions. The CVT in the LX trim includes 2 Dynamic Drive Modes (Econ and Normal) that let you customize the driving character, while the Sport trim's CVT adds paddle shifters and a Third drive mode (Sport). With its nimble chassis, communicative steering, and well-tuned suspension, the 2026 Honda Civic strikes an ideal balance between responsive handling and a smooth, comfortable ride.
