Performance That Matches Your Drive Style
The 2025 Honda Accord offers more muscle under the hood with a 192-horsepower turbocharged engine. That added power makes it an excellent match for drivers who want extra confidence for highway merging, passing or a more responsive feel behind the wheel. Its MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension setup also supports a smooth, composed ride — ideal for commuting and longer road trips.
The 2025 Honda Civic is more efficiency-focused, offering up to 41 MPG on the highway and 36 MPG combined. With its 150-horsepower engine and the same Continuously Variable Transmission found in the Accord, the Civic delivers easy, everyday drivability with less time (and money) spent at the pump. If you're more focused on city driving or want something smaller and more maneuverable, the Civic fits that role beautifully.
Smart Safety and Everyday Tech
Both the Accord and Civic are well-equipped with modern driver-assist features and tech essentials. Honda's Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Lane Keeping Assist System, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow are standard on both models, showing that safety isn't an upgrade; it's built-in.
In terms of in-car tech, both sedans include a 7-inch color touchscreen, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, and Bluetooth® streaming audio. The Accord takes a small step up with Smart Entry featuring Walk Away Auto Lock® and Remote Engine Start, making daily starts and lockups a little more seamless. The Civic, on the other hand, features Push Button Start, offering its own touch of convenience. No matter which model you choose, you'll enjoy the peace of mind and connectivity Honda is known for.
Comfort That Fits Your Needs
Inside, the Accord offers more space and refinement — including a 180-watt audio system and a self-opening trunk for added practicality. Its cabin layout, paired with standard cloth seats and fold-down rear seatbacks, gives you flexibility for passengers or cargo when needed. Automatic climate control helps ensure year-round comfort with minimal adjustments.
The Civic shares many of the same interior touches, including automatic climate control, fold-down rear seatbacks, and cloth seating, but with a slightly more compact footprint. It features a 160-watt audio system and 16-inch wheels, rounding out a well-balanced interior that focuses on simplicity and efficiency.
If you're regularly driving solo or with a small crew, the Civic's cabin delivers all the essentials in a lighter, more agile package. If you need more room for weekend gear or family trips, the Accord may better suit your lifestyle.
