Hybrids and EVs impact and increase your Auto Insurance cost. Current trend is EVs are not selling very well and being discounted. Cost to repair Hybrids is on the rise so Auto Ins. costs are increasing for Hybrid owners.
You’re likely to get a deal on an Accord hybrid due to the slower sales, but the Civic hybrid will probably get marked up by dealers initially, making the price difference a lot less
Love both, but with dealer markup, the Civic makes no sense, at least here in Montreal where you tested the 2025 Civic. It's usually priced up several thousand dollars, while the Accord Touring and Sport is often discounted. The gap ends up being barely 2k CAD.
@cgatito3528 thats subjective. Its your opinion. I think ferraris are ugly but lot of people like them. See how that works? Preference. Stop pushing yours on others
@@cgatito3528 They used to make Civics and Accords look pretty good. The new Accords are the worst with gen 11 Civics close behind. They look so bland and basic driving down the road
Larger wheels are harsher, louder, less aerodynamic and more expensive to replace. Seat ventilation fans work year round to keep your back fresh. The Accord interior is larger but you can't see it because the seats are too dark. Hatchback is also most versatile. It's nice that Honda feels sporty but I don't like the noise levels which imply lack of sound insulation, cheap materials and wheel noise.
The Accord rides better has better technology quieter and performs better in the iihs enhanced crash test. Come on while the Civic is very nice it's a economy car. Sport trim accords look better also
The Honda Civic is tougher to get into and out of due to lower body height or roof top. I once was 5'11" and with age and gravity dropped to 5'10" inches. Also with being over the age of 60, I am not as flexible. Wife drives a 2022 Honda Civic Touring and it is comfortable inside if you are not "Big and Tall". like under 5 foot 8 inches and weigh less than 180 pounds, sadly no lumbar support in the top trim Civic. I drive a 2023 Toyota Camry XSE V6 fully loaded, I need the HP and more height/head room also I have lumbar support. It is easier for me to enter and exit my Camry than the Civic. So, if you are Big and Tall, skip the Civic and get the Honda ACCORD or Toyota Camry or Mazda CX-5 or Chevrolet Camaro. If you like uncomfortable trashy looking small cars get a Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, or Chevrolet Spark or Chevy Cruze or Bolt, Nissan Leaf, maybe a Ford Pinto. Avoid the KIA Forte and KIA K5 at all costs for KIA means Killed In Action as your life depends on it.
I think it's absurd that in 2024 every vehicle regardless of trim or make and model do not come with two usb-c ports standard for rear seat passengers.
Not absurd at all. Honda spends a lot of $ in research and development before releasing any car. In the United States most Accord drivers rarely have any rear passengers. I have a 23 Accord and NEVER have rear passengers 🤷🏻♂️
This review is the best comparisons of the Civic Hybrid and Accord Hybrid. I'll be using your site for the MSRP/cost calculations, thank you guys! Amazing work.
Cars are growing in general so if you haven't driven a "compact" in a few years you might be surprised that they are about the size of a mid-size from 10 or 15 years ago. I would values the smaller size of the civic since I usually drive alone or with 1 other person (although 3 or 4 is hardly cramped for an 1 hour or so). Smaller = easier to park and better mpg.
I have the Civic hatch and it pretty much does everything the Accord can. Many people feel the same because more are choosing Civic over Accord. Honda needs to revamp the Accord like the Camry and Sonata and make it exciting. The Accord is just Civic+ without the exciting V6 or turbo 2.0 engine to make it different.
@@harrytejI will say the Honda interior design looks good for once. It’s sleek, looks modern and feels luxury. The Accords style (in my opinion) isn’t bad, it’s kinda bland, basic and doesn’t excite me. I do hope they redesign the Accords exterior, leaning towards something similar to the Sonota, I honestly do not like the Camry AT ALL. I know it’s probably wishful thinking, but I hope they bring back the V6 as well.
No spare tire in Accord at least has nothing to do with it being a hybrid, sorry guys. I bought an aftermarket donut spare that fit exactly into space provided by Honda. Honda even included a screw receptacle in floor of tire space so spare could be secured. They had prepared car to accept a spare, hybrid or no hybrid. So, guys, you were saying ...
Thats exactly why they did not include a spare. Its a hybrid. Lighter weight saves more gas and yes some gas models practice that to and not just honda. Primarily hybrids
I really like the styling and price of the Civic. Unfortunately, in the South, no ventilated seats is a deal breaker for me. Hope you will continue comparing the Civic Sport Hybrid to other cars in the class. 🙏 🌞 👍👍
It isn’t true that Honda is “unable to” package a spare tire on the Civic sedan because it’s a hybrid. The battery is under the rear seat and doesn’t affect space under the trunk. The lack of spare tire is purely a cost cutting move similar to the reason for the lack or rear USB ports.
Hello to the European hatchback in Israel at the request of buyers after six months they sent a spare wheel a little lost space in the trunk. Civic hybrid 2023.
In November I came out of a 21 Accord EX-L into a 2024 Accord Touring. I was in the process of negotiating on a 24 Accord EX-L when the owner of the dealership came out of his office and saw the baseball shirt that I was wearing of which at one time he had had a personal connection. He asked what I was looking at and when I told him he said he would do better than that and sold me the 2024 Touring at the EX-L price. I was somewhat doubtful but my neighbor who was in the business for 44 years and was negotiating for me told me to take it. He even sold me the vehicle without the upcharge for the color I wanted. This is my 6th Honda and to date my favorite.
I chose a 2024 Accord over the 2024 Civic because the Accord is slightly safer in crashes because its about 500lbs heavier. My Dad is a police officer who responds to serious accidents often and he always tells me that little extra weight and size DOES matter in crashes based on what he sees daily regarding personal injuries and vehicle damage between Accords and Civics in general🤷🏻♂️
Honda maintenance is a joke. You can only utilize your free oil changes if the maintenance minder gets to 15% or less or 10K miles. Who the hell waits until 10k to change their oil? That is just asking for engine trouble down the line. I have the 2 yr/24k miles complimentary service and is has zero value as I do mostly city driving and need to change my oil every 6 months or 5k miles. Honda is basically only wanting to pay for an average of 4 oil changes at most over a 2 year period. Not worth the potential damage to your engine.
Doing one single 10k oil change isn’t going to destroy the engine. You can also do 5K oil changes at your own expense if you want and just go to the dealer to collect your one free 10K oil change. You can change the oil yourself or at a private mechanic at 5K miles and not reset the maintenance mileage. Then go to the dealership to get another oil change for free when it says 15% oil life.
I have the accord touring and it pisses me off that the ventilated seats are literally only for the seat, not the back. Literally the only reason I got a touring. It’s gets extremely hot with leather seats here in socal
I quite often happen to sit in Civic and Accord. Personally I find Accord's looks way more premium than Civic. It definitely looks class apart specially black touring sport. Any given day by paying 20% extra, I will choose Accord over Civic.
Long time watcher, 1st time posting! I hope you enjoyed your time in Montreal, my hometown! Bumpy roads, no turns on red, barely any left turns allowed, and construction and traffic everywhere all the time 😑! I'm sure our beautiful summer weather, delicious food, wonderful sights, culture, and hospitality made up for those previous inconveniences...😊 As well, I hope you didn't have to deal with any locals who refused to address you in English.😮
Hello! We had a great experience! We were warned in advance about no right on red, and we did most of our exploring on foot to take in the scenery and enjoy the weather 😁
I have a 2023 Civic in Australia which is the top of range and only one offered. IT has a panoramic sunroof as standard, heated steering wheel and seats standard, Lumbar support in front seats as standard. I’ve now done 20,000 klms and have $200 fixed cap servicing every 10,000 klm for 5 services. I am disappointed the new 2025 Civic overseas has dropped these features. Fantastic car, handling, fuel economy, comfort and looks is second to none. Only benefit to upgrades in Canada and USA is extra 20 HP and sound dampening in wheel arches which would be nice. We also have standard Michelin Pilot sport rubber which is perfect for a bit of fun driving. Here’s hoping the Australian version keeps its original specification. Have never regretted the purchase. The Honda Hybrid is genius and the best in the world. You only have to ask a specialist Toyota Technician.
The hybrid Civic needs 17 inch wheels as an option...the 18's make the acceleration, fuel economy, and ride harshness worse. I wonder if something with the hybrid's electric servo brakes necessitates a bigger wheel, or its just a style/aesthetic choice by Honda.
I just bought a 2017 Passat SE w/Technology. In researching what others think about this car, a recurring theme appeared: The Passat, though not top billed in any one category, save for the luxury car like rear seat room and trunk space, was appreciated for its timeless body design. Looking at the back of the 2025 Accord, I must say they were right. LOL
Quick question guys! So the Accord couldn't add a spare tire to their hybrid vehicles because of the additional battery. But doesn't the all new Camry have a spare tire? If Camry can add a spare to their all new Camry hybrid, then Accord can as well, especially since the Camry still get better MPG.
The design and packaging of Honda's hybrid system vs. Toyota's is totally different. Toyotas is ultimately more space efficient, thus room for a spare tire
The Civic got stripped down in several areas whole missing some features but comes with a higher price tag. Always loved Hondas but they’ve been going backwards ever since 2018. You’re better off going with Toyota or Mazda if you want a Civic alternative. The Mazda 3 is simply better value in less you REALLY want the hybrid option.
I feel like Honda targets boring people to buy their cars I want to like Honda but I feel like the designs of their cars and SUVs are so basic. Don't get me wrong they are great cars to drive (at least 80% of them) but why can't they be nice to look at too? Inside and out.
"Boring"....no, it's understated and classy unlike the 10th gen, which while kinda cool looking is a little silly for an econobox. Love my 2024 sport hatch in rally red. Athletic, but very grown up.
I would go for the Civic Sport Touring Hybrid Hatchback. My exact points why you would get the Accord. Since both are the top trims, they are comparable except for the details you mentioned. I always get the Sport trim versions of the vehicles I got, so the handling dynamics is preferred over the cushy luxury feel with less feedback. Both are nice but you save several thousands of dollars on the Civic, plus the better fuel economy. The Civic Sedan looks even nicer now, but I prefer the hatchback. I wish Honda would make a Sport Touring Hybrid trim in the HR-V.
I have a 2024 HRV sport and I love it especially in the winter in Alberta regardless of it not being very powerful. Feels like good quality, the civic 2024 ex I drove felt cheap. Owned many Honda's so far this HRV feels like the best .
@user-wi8wz4mh9g I plan to get it. If I do, I may get the Pedal Commander later yonsee if itvwill make it faster. If not, no problem. I don't drive fast anymore. I don't need to.
@@jjacob25101 it's more than adequate. Great little SUV for my winter commute as well as taking my son to school. The engine power is more than adequate I promise.
The Civic is definitely in a class of its own. What chance does Toyota have to compete with it when the Accord fails. Maybe the new Camry is a better competitor especially if you consider Honda pricing.
11th gen civic is perfect, styling wise. Performance and efficiency are stellar, and comfy....not to mention i get daily compliments on my car everywhere i go. Rally red 2024 sport hatch 2.0 NA with the rear spoiler. A lot of fun for a daily driver. I wouldnt recommend the turbo 1.5 personally, unless leasing.
You did a great job in the comparison, however I have a 2018 Touring and one of my grips is the road noise. If you add to this excellent view a more detailed road noise comparison that would be great. COMPAIR both city and high way. Roger of Orlando
Do not like the looks of the accord and it's too big ( I've owned 3 Accords - 1981 , 1987 and 2001) also the only real gas engine You can get in it - is a 1.5 over boosted turbo to drive the Bigger Heavier Accord. And these New Cars with all the Electronic's and computer dashes and screens ...... how much are they going to cost to replace out of warranty ??
Accord is too large/bulky for my taste these days, so Civic IMO. Same thing goes for Camry vs Corolla. I would select a new Mazda3 sedan over them all though. Personal preference.
The 2025 Civic Hybrid is one second quicker than the Accord from 0-60, why in the world would you want an Accord that's cost $18k more and so much slower!
Nice comparison. Unless you need the larger rear seat room of the Accord, I'm with Team Civic. Plus, if you don't want a hybrid, the Civic offers a naturally aspirated 2 liter engine, while the Accord comes with a problematic 1.5 liter turbo. And the gas engine Accords look like taxicabs inside. Dull plastic dashboard. Cheap cloth seat fabric.
When exactly would they get the Civic Hatchback Hybrid to North America? Why doesn't Honda get it? Are the other brands insecure that no one would buy anything else if this existed???
They should have Accord as a liftback instead of sedan due to much better cargo capacity. Also, they should still offer 2.0 L turbo Accord because it was just a great trim.
Next do a comparison video of closely priced Civic Sport Hybrid vs Camry LE and/or Civic Sport Touring Hybrid to a Camry SE equipped to as close as possible to the same MSRP. Many people shop by price and not only by size class.
The current Accord should have been the new Acura RLX. It’s got the size and conservative styling to be a flagship Acura and the Diamond Pentagon grille would look good on that. It be easy to convert it to an Acura. I would have bought it if I didn’t spend an extra 7k for a 2023 TLX tech. Always and will be a Honda guy.
I'll wait to see the midlife refresh Accord for 2026 & 27 I'm expecting Honda to change up the Accord like back in 2006-07. Vs 03 to 05 where the rear is completely different.
Honestly neither. 30-33K is too much for a civic IMO. I'd rather get an XLE Camry for 35K. Supposedly the new Camry is ultra refined and Lexus ES-esque. Civic is super nice buy you can't get any hybrid model for 30K OTD. Yes the Elantra and Corolla are cheaper feeling cars but they offer most of the tech and their hybrids costs thousands less.
You know, I actually enjoy watching your videos, but just as I started watching this one, it occurred to me that I would not be buying either of these vehicles, as I refuse to pay more just to pay more. So I stopped watching, knowing that it was unfair to you two since you have no say in pricing vehicles. I am sure I will come back to finish up when I am just sitting around at 2 in the morning. Always well-done reviews.
No mention of California while touring the back country roads? I only heard Kentucky and Canada mentioned and those oak trees and chaparral-covered hills @10:22 were certainly not in Kentucky...
No 360 degree cameras? No Pano Sunroofs? No USB in the Civic’s 2d row? CVTs only? If I were in the market for an affordable midsize+ sedan both of these would get a pass.
Thank you for the direct comparison of these cars. My only complaint/critique is that I would have loved to see how well a large suitcase fits in the trunk space. Most cars fit a carry-on or two, but my wife and I use the bigger ones when we travel.
I can’t thank you enough for this video. Civic is better for me. If I go non-hybrid it would be a Subaru Legacy. However, I’m not sure I want to go non-hybrid for the planet 🌍! Agh 🥴 😅
