2026 Civic Sport Touring Hybrid

The Civic that reads as a class above

Honda's compact has been sneaking up on the entry-luxury cars for a generation, and this is the trim where the gap closes. The leather is real leather trim, the driver's seat adjusts eight ways with power, the dash's honeycomb metal vent strip looks lifted from something German, and the 10.2-inch cluster plus 9-inch center screen give the cockpit the full-glass look the rest of the lineup only gestures at. It is, functionally, the answer to a specific Staten Island question: what do you buy when an Accord feels too big for your street and a badge-brand compact costs $12,000 more for less equipment?

Tech that finally goes wireless

This is the trim where the cables disappear. CarPlay and Android Auto connect wirelessly, the pad under the console charges the phone while it streams, and Google built-in puts Maps, Assistant, and the Play Store natively on the 9-inch screen, so navigation and voice control work even when your phone stays in a pocket. The Bose 12-speaker system is tuned specifically for this cabin, and the acoustic glass the hybrids carry gives it a quiet stage to work with. Reviewers' one gripe with lesser Civics, that the big displays are locked to the top trim, is the reason this page exists.

Same 200-hp hybrid, same 50 mpg

Mechanically the Sport Touring is the Sport Hybrid: 200 combined horsepower, 6.2 seconds to 60 in Car and Driver's sedan test, deceleration paddles, and EPA ratings of 50 city / 47 highway / 49 combined on regular fuel. The commuting math that makes the hybrid a near-automatic recommendation for borough drivers is laid out in the Sport Hybrid guide; everything there applies here verbatim. The $3,000 walk between the two is purely a comfort-and-tech decision, which is what makes it an easy showroom comparison: sit in both, play the same song through both audio systems, decide.

Repeat customers, third and fourth Civics

Top-trim buyers at this store are disproportionately returning lessees, and the reviews read that way. "I just leased my 3rd civic (7th overall for my family). Worked with Raymond Valenzuela every time... He always does his best to help us out and get us the best deal possible," wrote Frank V. Service continuity shows up too: "My advisor was Elaine. I had a great experience, great service and was in and out in about an hour for 2 different services" (Tiffany M.). A 4.4-star average over roughly 2,700 Google reviews suggests those aren't outliers.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 2026 Civic Sport Touring Hybrid cost?

$32,395 MSRP for the sedan, $33,595 for the hatchback, plus $1,195 destination and New York taxes and fees. Current factory programs are listed on the Honda of Staten Island specials page, and the pricing & leasing guide explains the full out-the-door stack.

What do I get over the Sport Hybrid?

Leather-trimmed seats, the 9-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, the 10.2-inch digital cluster, Bose 12-speaker audio, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, a wireless charger, and the 8-way power driver seat. The powertrain, moonroof, heated seats, and dual-zone climate carry over unchanged.

Is this the same as a "Civic Touring"?

The old gas Touring trim is gone; since the 2025 refresh the top trim is hybrid-only. If you want top-spec equipment, you're getting the 200-hp hybrid with it, which most buyers consider the right kind of forced upgrade.

Does the Sport Touring Hybrid have a moonroof and heated seats?

Yes, both, inherited from the Sport Hybrid, plus the power driver seat this trim adds. Heated seats and a January morning queue at the Verrazzano toll gantries were made for each other.

Sedan or hatchback for the Sport Touring Hybrid?

Equipment is effectively identical; the hatchback charges about $1,200 for a far more useful cargo opening and folding-seat versatility, and its EPA ratings dip slightly to 50/45. If the Civic is your household's only car, the hatch deserves a serious look.

The grown-up Civic

Half the appeal of a loaded compact is skipping both the size and the payment of the next class up while giving up nothing you touch daily. The Sport Touring Hybrid executes that trade as well as anything sold in 2026, and the walk from a Sport Hybrid to this car is a ten-foot showroom trip at Honda of Staten Island. Bring your phone; the wireless pairing demo is the thing that closes this particular sale.
