New 2026 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback

The 2026 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback continues to be a benchmark for the compact class, blending "Euro-inspired" styling with everyday versatility. Positioned as the entry-level trim for the hatchback body style, it offers a more aggressive aesthetic and better utility than the base LX sedan while remaining more affordable than the hybrid models. The 2026 model features a subtle mid-generation refresh, notably a more aggressive front grille and bumper design. The Sport trim utilizes the proven naturally aspirated engine, prioritizing reliability and low cost of ownership over raw speed. The hatchback's main selling point is its "hidden" cargo space, featuring a wide, low opening for easy loading. Every 2026 Civic is equipped with the Honda Sensing suite, which now includes more refined sensor hardware: Collision Mitigation Braking and Road Departure Mitigation. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow. New for 2026: Blind Spot Information (BSI) and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor are now standard on the Sport trim.
