Honda Civic.

Last Updated: May 20, 2024

Yes, it is quite early to try and guess what the next-generation Honda Civic will look like, and yet, here we are…

It will probably be 2027 before we get to see the real thing, although we might be getting a preview with a “concept’ in 2026. Something Honda has been doing for years now. With “concepts” that are nothing more than the actual car with larger wheels or blacked-out windows. These usually show up just a few months before the production version.

The Civic will finally gain a hybrid option in the US for the 2025 model year which should be unveiled anytime now. By the time the new generation comes out, it isn’t that crazy to think the hybrid powertrain could be standard. With a PHEV as an option, or maybe even a full EV.

Honda will offer a production version of their all-new Series 0 Saloon concept in the US in 2026. With more EVs following soon after. An EV option for the Civic would be a nice affordable addition to Honda’s lineup by then.

The current generation Civic is still, in my opinion, a step back from the previous one. At least as far as the design is concerned. The flat dashboard with the tablet stuck onto it is also getting old fast, and the exterior was never as dynamic as the previous one. That means the next one could actually be much more modern-looking. Honda seems to alternate a more modern design with a more conservative one with each new Civic generation. Like if they are always scared of looking too modern…

2027 is quite some time ahead, and let’s that by that time, the new Civic looks a bit more modern than the illustration above. So far they keep saying the production version of the futuristic Series 0 saloon will look a lot like the concept. Which seems odd and actually pretty hard to do. If that is true, it might be a sign of new very modern designs finally coming from Honda in the near future.

Will Honda’s future be bright? With spandex jackets for everyone?
