Honda Civic FL1 and Civic e:HEV FL4 - 2025MY Minor Change

The 11th-generation Honda Civic has gained its minor change for the 2025 model year and now's the ideal time to reintroduce this current-generation Civic to the world from a different perspective.

What's new in this minor change? Let's begin with the front view as it now dons the Acura-esque front grille as well as the new front bumper. The range-topper of the petrol-powered Civic FL1, the RS, features slightly larger air curtains and exposed tailpipes at the back, making it part-subtle, part-obvious but that's the Civic way and the RS is just the tip of the iceberg.

Inside, the updated Civic looks nearly identical to the pre-facelifted model except for the slightly enlarged touchscreen to differentiate it. Still, you can expect commodities such as push-button and remote engine start, the Honda Smart Key system, rear air-conditioning vents, automatic air-conditioning, Smart Key card, and dual-zone air-conditioning, among others.

The facelifted Honda Civic still offers a choice of a 1.5L VTEC TURBO and the 2.0L SPORTS e:HEV hybrid powertrain. The turbo variant produces 182PS of power and 240Nm of torque. Most variants are mated to a CVT gearbox that promises 15.7km/L of fuel economy based on WLTC Mode standards while the RS-exclusive 6-speed manual gearbox returns a 15.3km/L fuel economy.

The LFC-H4 2.0L SPORTS e:HEV powertrain mated to a twin-motor electric CVT with manual mode operated via paddle shifters has a combined power output of 184PS, 315Nm of torque, and a fuel economy of 24.2km/L based on WLTC Mode standards.

The new Civic features an updated Honda SENSING system featuring a Forward Collision Warning System, Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Keeping Assist System, improved Adaptive Cruise Control, and Adaptive Driving Beam, among many others.

With this latest facelift, it's the ideal time to get familiarized with the 11th-generation Civic again.
