There’s a reason why the Honda Civic model has been on the road for decades. Practical and efficient, but also stylish and fun to drive, the 2025 Honda Civic sedan is perfect for daily commuting, family road trips, and a lot more. The five-passenger Civic sedan is loaded with features that add comfort and convenience, like an automatic climate control system and a push-button start.
Fuel-Sipping Engine
The standard engine on the Civic sedan is an in-line four-cylinder that’s capable of 150 horsepower and 133 pound-feet of torque. The base model of the Civic pairs that engine with a continuously variable transmission that gets as many as 36 miles per gallon when performance on city streets and the highway is combined. Upper trim levels can get as many as 49 miles per gallon. An available 200-horsepower hybrid powertrain offers even greater fuel efficiency.
Depending on which trim level you’re driving, you’ll have anywhere from two to four driving modes to choose from. The Econ driving mode further optimizes the Civic’s fuel efficiency.
You don’t have to wait for the first snowflake to fall to get your car ready. Taking care of winter maintenance right away can save you from the inevitable headaches that come when the roads get nasty. As your local Honda dealership, we’re here to make sure your car is prepared for the cold season ahead.
4 Essential Winter Maintenance Tips From Your Honda Dealership
1. Kit Out Your Vehicle With Winter or All-Weather Tires
Now that grip is going to be a very precious commodity, it’s time to ensure your vehicle is equipped with the right tires. And because we’re expecting temperatures south of 44 degrees Fahrenheit, the right tires here are winter tires. These tires are made from special materials that stay soft even in low temperatures, enhancing their grip on icy, snowy, or wet surfaces. They also have special treads, known as sipes, that bite into slippery surfaces to improve traction.
While winter tires are the obvious choice for harsh weather, but all-weather tires with decent treads are also rated for winter driving. As long as you’re not pushing the vehicle through intense conditions and sticking to city driving, these tires can hold their own.
Compact and sporty, the 2025 Honda Civic isn’t just an incredible value. It’s also incredibly fun to drive.

Ready to plan your next family adventure? Then you should check out an off-road SUV like the 2025 Honda Pilot. This family-oriented vehicle is packed with muscle and offers tons of interior space to make camping and family road trips exceptionally convenient. Explore the features of the base Sport model to see if this SUV is right for your next getaway.
The first thing to know about this eight-passenger SUV is that the Honda Pilot Sport is available with a standard 2WD or an AWD drivetrain upgrade. The towing capabilities of the SUV depend on the drivetrain configuration, so be sure to pick the model that is best suited for hauling your boat, horse trailer, camper, or other large hitch items. The 2WD model can tow up to 3,500 lbs, while the AWD version can tow 5,000 lbs when properly equipped.
The fuel economy for the Sport model is similar for each drivetrain option, since each model gets 19 MPG in the city. However, if you want the best long-range performance, you may want to opt for the 2WD version that gets 27 MPG on the freeway and 22 MPG combined. By contrast, the upgraded AWD drivetrain gets 25 MPG on the interstate.
The mid-size sedan class has a ton of options, but very few can match up to the 2025 Honda Accord. The new Accord offers gas and hybrid powertrains and is packed with high-end features and technology.
Efficient Powertrain Options
Honda offers the 2025 Accord with either a gas or hybrid powertrain. Gas-only models have a 1.5L turbo-four engine that makes 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. A CVT comes as standard, along with front-wheel drive. Fuel economy for the gas models is 32 mpg combined (29 city/37 highway).
The hybrid models combine a 2.0L four-cylinder engine with two electric motors. This pair pushes out a total of 204 horsepower. An eCVT comes standard with four drive modes: Normal, ECON, Sport, and Individual. The hybrid Accord returns an average of 44 miles per gallon (46 city/41 highway), and up to 48 mpg combined in the EX-L Hybrid trim.
The average life of a car battery is three to five years under normal operating conditions. Extreme heat or cold and electrical system issues can reduce this lifespan. Fortunately, a battery almost always shows signs it’s weakening, giving you time to get a replacement. As your Honda dealer, we want to tell you a few signs you’ll need to visit us for a car battery replacement.
Signs You Need a Car Battery Replacement at Your Honda Dealer
Slow Starting
When you think of battery problems, slow starting is probably the first that comes to mind. The battery provides the initial electrical charge that powers the starter to crank your engine and begin combustion. This charge uses a relatively fixed amount of power. As a battery ages, the chemicals inside break down, reducing its electricity storage capacity.
If its storage capacity drops low enough, the battery can’t supply enough power to the crank. You’ll hear a sad-sounding metallic clicking noise as the starter tries and fails to crank. We’ll test your battery and install a new one if it’s failing.
