2027 Honda Civic: What's New, Trims, Specs & Features
The 2027 Honda Civic Sedan gains Google built-in with Gemini AI and a two-motor hybrid system producing 200 total system horsepower. The hybrid trims return up to 50 city / 47 highway MPG, a significant jump over the non-hybrid's 32 city / 41 highway. This page covers every trim, spec, and feature change, with current inventory at Fowler Honda in Norman.
What's New for 2027
The headline addition for 2027 is the two-motor hybrid system now available on the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid trims. Combined system output reaches 200 horsepower, while the non-hybrid trims carry over with 150 horsepower from the 2.0L DOHC four-cylinder. The hybrid trims also earn EPA ratings of 50 city / 47 highway / 49 combined MPG, which places the Civic Hybrid among the most fuel-efficient sedans in its class without requiring a plug.
Google built-in, including the Google Gemini AI assistant and a three-month unlimited data plan for in-vehicle apps, is new on the Sport Touring Hybrid. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are also new on that top trim, replacing the wired-only setup found on lower trims. The 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster is another new addition for 2027, exclusive to the Sport Touring Hybrid.
Parking sensors, four front and four rear, appear on the Sport Touring Hybrid as a new safety addition. Active Noise Cancellation is also new on the Sport Touring Hybrid, reducing road noise at highway speeds. Honda S+ Shift, which sharpens the CVT's response and allows the driver to hold gear ratios via paddle shifters, is standard on the Sport Touring Hybrid.
A new Individual drive mode joins Econ, Normal, and Sport on the Sport Touring Hybrid, giving that trim four dynamic drive modes versus three on the Sport and Sport Hybrid.
Trim Lineup
The 2027 Civic Sedan comes in four trims: LX, Sport, Sport Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid.
LX
LX is the entry point. It includes Honda Sensing (the full suite of active safety tech), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, LED headlights, a 7-inch color touchscreen, a 160-watt four-speaker audio system, and 16-inch wheels with full covers.
Sport
Sport moves up to 18-inch gloss black alloy wheels, adds paddle shifters, a 9-inch color touchscreen, a 180-watt eight-speaker system, Blind Spot Information System with Rear Cross Traffic Monitor, and three drive modes (Econ, Normal, Sport).
Sport Hybrid
Sport Hybrid brings the two-motor hybrid system producing 200 total horsepower, a one-touch power moonroof, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-trimmed seats, an 8-way power driver seat, and the Eco Assist system. EPA ratings jump to 50 city / 47 highway / 49 combined MPG. The fuel tank shrinks to 10.6 gallons versus 12.4 gallons on non-hybrid trims, but the efficiency gains mean fewer stops at the pump.
Sport Touring Hybrid
Sport Touring Hybrid is the fully loaded trim. It adds Google built-in with Gemini AI, wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, the Bose Premium Sound System with 12 speakers and a subwoofer, Honda S+ Shift, Active Noise Cancellation, rain-sensing wipers, a Qi wireless phone charger, heated side mirrors, gloss black mirror covers, parking sensors (4 front, 4 rear), and four drive modes including Individual. The front passenger also gets a four-way power seat on this trim.
Performance and Powertrain
Non-hybrid trims (LX, Sport) use a 2.0L DOHC Dual-VTC inline four-cylinder engine producing 150 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 133 lb-ft of torque at 4,000-5,000 rpm. A CVT sends power to the front wheels. EPA-rated fuel economy is 32 city / 41 highway / 36 combined MPG on regular unleaded fuel.
Hybrid trims (Sport Hybrid, Sport Touring Hybrid) use the same 2.0L block in Atkinson-cycle tune, producing 141 horsepower at 6,000 rpm from the engine alone, supplemented by an AC synchronous permanent-magnet electric motor rated at 181 horsepower at 5,000-6,000 rpm and 232 lb-ft of torque at 0-2,000 rpm. Total system output is 200 horsepower. A Direct Drive Unit replaces the traditional CVT on hybrid trims. EPA ratings are 50 city / 47 highway / 49 combined MPG.

The 2027 Civic Sedan seats five with 42.3 inches of front legroom and 37.4 inches of rear legroom. Front headroom measures 39.3 inches on LX and Sport, and 37.6 inches on hybrid trims (the moonroof reduces headroom slightly). Cargo volume is 14.8 cubic feet on all trims, accessed through a conventional trunk lid.
The rear seatback is a 60/40 split fold-down on Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid, which expands cargo flexibility for longer items. LX and Sport use a one-piece fold-down seatback.
Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid include leather-trimmed seats and an 8-way power driver seat. Heated front seats are standard on Sport Hybrid and above. Dual-zone automatic climate control is available from Sport Hybrid up; LX and Sport use a single-zone automatic system.
The Sport Touring Hybrid adds Active Noise Cancellation for a quieter cabin experience and a Qi wireless phone charger in the center console. Red ambient lighting is standard across all trims. Curb weight ranges from 2,875 pounds for the LX to 3,252 pounds for the Sport Touring Hybrid.
Technology and Infotainment
The LX comes with a 7-inch color touchscreen and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Sport steps up to a 9-inch touchscreen. All trims include Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, the HondaLink app, and a USB-C 3.0A port at the front seats.
The Sport Touring Hybrid is where the tech takes a significant step forward. It adds:

Every Civic includes ABS with Electronic Brake Distribution, Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control, Brake Assist, an Electric Parking Brake with Automatic Brake Hold, and a full airbag suite (driver and passenger advanced front airbags, knee airbags, front side airbags, rear outboard side airbags, and side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor).
Who It's For / vs the Prior Year
The 2027 Civic is the right choice for buyers who want a compact sedan that does not force a compromise between efficiency and refinement. The non-hybrid trims deliver a well-balanced daily driver at 36 combined MPG. The hybrid trims, rated at 49 combined MPG, suit buyers who want near-hybrid-electric efficiency without changing their fueling habits.
Compared to the prior generation, the 2027 model's primary additions are the two-motor hybrid powertrain, Google built-in AI integration, wireless smartphone connectivity on the top trim, the larger 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and Honda S+ Shift for a more responsive feel in Sport and Individual modes. Shoppers who currently own a non-hybrid Civic and want better fuel economy without moving to a plug-in vehicle will find the Sport Hybrid a logical step up.
Buyers in Norman and the surrounding area looking for a reliable commuter with long-term value get a vehicle that requires no scheduled tune-ups for approximately 100,000 miles and carries a 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
