Hondas Head-to-Head: The 2025 Honda Civic vs the 2025 Honda Accord
Advantages of the 2025 Civic
More Compact, Tons of Fun
Coming in at under 185 inches (nearly a full foot shorter than the Accord), the Civic is perfect for navigating the urban jungle and tucking into tight parking spots. The Civic is also living proof that good things do indeed come in small packages; whether you choose the 150 horsepower, 2.0-liter power plant in the LX and Sport trims, or the new-for-2025 200-hp dual-motor hybrid powerplant in the Sport Hybrid or Sport Touring Hybrid, the Civic is powerful and fun to drive.
Body Types Galore
With both Sedan and Hatchback models on offer, there are more body styles and trims on offer for the Civic than its larger and statelier counterpart, with hybrids available in both body types. And with race-ready models like the Civic Si or the massively powerful Civic Type R, the sky is the limit; with up to 315 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque on offer, there’s always more fun to be had in a Civic.
Advantages of the 2025 Accord
A Roomier Ride with More Passenger Comfort
The Accord is Honda’s higher-end sedan, designed to be a more upscale experience. The longer body length and wheelbase in the Accord offer improved legroom for rear-seat riders, with up to 40.8 inches of legroom in the back row allowing even tall passengers to enjoy long rides in comfort. The trunk is bigger, too; with 16.7 cubic feet of space offering more room for bags and gear than the Civic Sedan.
A More Refined Sedan
With standard features like a self-opening trunk coming standard and dual-zone climate control standard on every trim but one, the Accord offers a refined ride with plenty of amenities. Heated seats are available for front-row and outboard rear-seat riders. The technology on offer is also impressive, with touchscreen sizes as large as 12.3 inches and a 6-inch Head-Up Display coming standard on the Touring Hybrid.
A Win No Matter What
Whether you opt for the Accord or the Civic Sedan, peace of mind comes along for the ride. That’s because the IIHS has issued their prestigious Top Safety Pick+ designations for the latest evaluated models of both vehicles, owing to plentiful airbags and the top-notch Honda Sensing safety system.
Whether you find the sportiness of the Civic more seductive or the refinement of the Accord to be more your style, there’s a Honda sedan on the lot for you. Test drive them today at Carl Hogan Honda in Columbus, MS.
