Honda Civic Hybrid Receives Car of the Year Award

The 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid has just been crowned Canadian Car of the Year by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). This prestigious distinction highlights the many qualities of the new electrified version of this iconic model, well-known and beloved by Quebec drivers. Produced right here in Canada, the Civic Hybrid continues the Honda brand's tradition of reliability and performance.

A High-Performance Hybrid Powertrain

Available as a sedan or hatchback, the 2025 Civic Hybrid sits at the top of the updated Civic lineup. It combines a dual-motor hybrid powertrain with a dynamic driving experience, faithful to the spirit of the original model. With a combined output of 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque, it becomes the most powerful version of the Civic, with the exception of the Type R. This blend of performance and fuel efficiency makes it an attractive option for those looking to reduce their fuel consumption without sacrificing driving pleasure.

Awards Piling Up

This recognition from the AJAC adds to a string of accolades received by the Civic Hybrid in recent months. It was recently named the 2025 North American Car of the Year, in addition to being a winner of Car and Driver magazine's 10Best award. It also won the awards for Best Car in Canada, Overall, and Best Compact Car according to AutoTrader.

A Model That Spans Generations

The Civic's success is nothing new. Since its arrival on the North American market in 1973, more than 15 million units have been sold. In Canada, it remains a benchmark in the compact car segment and ended 2024 at the top of its sales charts. The addition of this hybrid version further strengthens its appeal to an increasingly environmentally conscious customer base.

A Canadian Pride

Honda Canada emphasizes that this success is the result of the work of its engineering and production teams, particularly at the Honda of Canada Manufacturing plant. Local manufacturing ensures high quality standards and contributes to the Canadian economy.

A Car Adapted to Today's Needs

In summary, the electrification of the Honda Civic marks an important step in the model's evolution. With its balance of performance, technology, and efficiency, the 2025 Civic Hybrid seems well positioned to meet the expectations of today's drivers.
