Honda Civic Makes History with Fourth North American Car of the Year Award

Honda Civic's fourth North American Car of the Year award sets a record in the award's 30-year history, marking an unprecedented achievement for Canada's best-selling compact car. This recognition from 50 automotive journalists across Canada and the United States confirms what drivers at Lallier Honda Hull already know about the 2025 Civic Hybrid's exceptional capabilities.


Performance that Earned Professional Recognition  


The two-motor hybrid system delivers 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque, establishing the 2025 Civic Hybrid as the most powerful non-Type R Civic. Your daily drives benefit from quick, effortless acceleration paired with a 4.7 L/100km city fuel economy rating. This balance of power and efficiency earned high marks from the North American Car of the Year jury, who evaluate vehicles based on innovation, design, safety features, performance, and technology.


Canadian-Built Excellence  


Built at Honda's manufacturing facility in Alliston, Ontario, the 2025 Civic Hybrid exemplifies Canadian automotive craftsmanship. The Civic nameplate holds special significance in the Canadian market, with more than six million units produced domestically. This local production ensures every vehicle meets the specific needs of Canadian drivers, from winter performance to summer efficiency.


Award-Winning Features  


The Sport Touring Hybrid trim showcases the features that impressed the NACOTY jury. A 10.2-inch digital driver display provides clear information in all lighting conditions. The Honda Sensing suite of safety features offers enhanced protection across all driving scenarios. For winter comfort, heated front and rear seats come standard on select trims, while dual-zone climate control maintains your preferred temperature year-round.


Proven Technology  


Honda's two-motor hybrid system brings 25 years of hybrid innovation to the Civic lineup. This fourth-generation system earned the Wards 10 Best Engines and Propulsion Systems award for two consecutive years, validating its refined performance and reliability. The system's sophisticated engineering maintains the Civic's signature driving dynamics while reducing fuel consumption.
