Where the 2027 Civic Sits in Honda’s Lineup
The Civic is the entry point to Honda’s car lineup and one of the most popular compacts in the country. For 2027, Honda kept the proven platform and powertrains and made a few changes that matter: a new Sport-L trim that brings leather and heated seats to the gas Civic, a new S+ Shift driving mode on the Sport Touring Hybrid, and a $300 MSRP increase on the base model.
Every 2027 Civic comes with Honda Sensing, which includes adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assist, and pedestrian detection. Sport trims and above add blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. If you need more space than a compact sedan offers, our 2027 Honda CR-V Hybrid is the next step up.

LX
What Does the 2027 Honda Civic LX Include?
The LX starts at $24,995 ($26,290 with destination) and is the most affordable new Honda you can buy. It uses the 2.0L four-cylinder with 150 horsepower and a continuously variable transmission, and it is EPA-rated at 32 city, 41 highway, and 36 combined mpg. Honda Sensing is standard, so you get the full safety suite on the base car. The LX is sedan only.
SP
What Do You Get With the 2027 Honda Civic Sport?
The Sport starts at $26,995 ($28,290 with destination) for the sedan and $28,195 ($29,490) for the hatchback. It keeps the same 150-hp engine and is rated at 34 mpg combined, but adds larger wheels, sport styling, and blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. It’s a good fit if you want a sharper look and extra safety tech without a big jump in price. You can browse what we have on the lot in our new Honda inventory.
SL
What Is New on the 2027 Honda Civic Sport-L?
The Sport-L is the new trim for 2027, priced at $28,495 ($29,790 with destination) for the sedan and $29,695 ($30,990) for the hatchback. It uses the same 2.0L engine and CVT as the Sport, rated at 34 mpg combined, but adds leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, illuminated vanity mirrors, and silver interior trim. Until now, those comforts meant stepping up to a hybrid. Honda expects the Sport-L to join the lineup by the end of 2026, so check current availability with our team.
SH
What Makes the 2027 Honda Civic Sport Hybrid Special?
The Sport Hybrid starts at $29,695 ($30,990 with destination) for the sedan and $30,895 ($32,190) for the hatchback. It swaps the gas engine for Honda’s two-motor hybrid system, which produces 200 horsepower and returns up to 50 city, 47 highway, and 49 combined mpg in the sedan. The electric motors handle low-speed driving, so stop-and-go traffic is where it saves the most fuel. It’s only about $1,200 more than the Sport-L, which makes the choice between the two a close call. If you’re curious about the technology, read our guide on how hybrid cars work.
ST
What Does the 2027 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid Add?
The Sport Touring Hybrid is the top of the range at $32,695 ($33,990 with destination) for the sedan and $33,895 ($35,190) for the hatchback. It has the same 200-hp hybrid powertrain, now with the S+ Shift system borrowed from the Honda Prelude. S+ Shift simulates gear changes and rev-matched downshifts and adds enhanced engine sound, so the Civic feels more engaging when you want it to. This trim also adds premium touches such as leather seating, Bose audio, and Google built-in. It’s the most complete Civic you can buy.
The easiest way to feel the differences between these five trims is to see them side by side, so stop by our showroom at 7700 Pearl Road in Middleburg Heights and our team will walk you through each one.
Which Trim Is Right for Which Buyer?
If you want the lowest price and the full Honda Sensing suite, the LX is the clear choice. If you want better looks and blind spot monitoring, the Sport adds both for $2,000 more. If you want comfort features like heated leather seats without paying for a hybrid, the Sport-L is the new sweet spot.
If you spend a lot of time in traffic or put on a lot of miles, the Sport Hybrid pays you back at the pump. If you want every feature and a more engaging drive, the Sport Touring Hybrid delivers. Anyone who regularly hauls bikes, luggage, or bulky items should look at the hatchback body style, which offers a wider cargo opening with the same compact footprint. You can compare real-world fuel economy for each version in our Honda Civic MPG guide, and configure any trim with our Build and Price tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Civic Sport and Sport-L?
Both use the same 150-hp 2.0L engine and CVT, but the Sport-L adds leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable front seats, and dual-zone climate control. It costs about $1,500 more than the Sport.
Is the Civic Hybrid worth the extra money over the gas Civic?
It depends on how you drive. The hybrid is rated up to 50 mpg in the city compared with 31 to 32 mpg for the gas models, so it saves the most in stop-and-go traffic. It also has 200 horsepower versus 150. The Sport Hybrid costs about $1,200 more than the Sport-L, which makes the payback quick for most commuters.
How much does a 2027 Civic cost with destination?
The 2027 Civic LX sedan is $24,995 MSRP, or $26,290 with the $1,295 destination charge. The Sport Touring Hybrid sedan is $32,695 MSRP, or $33,990 with destination. Taxes, registration, and options are extra.
Should I get the Civic sedan or hatchback?
They share the same engines and similar features, but the hatchback costs about $1,200 more per trim and has a much wider cargo opening. Choose the hatchback if you carry bulky items often. Otherwise, the sedan is the better value. The LX is only offered as a sedan.
Is there a 2027 Civic Si or Type R?
Honda paused Civic Si production after the 2026 model year, with plans to bring it back later. The Civic Type R has been updated for 2027, with 315 horsepower and a six-speed manual, and is announced separately from the trims above. Contact us to ask about availability.
