Honda Civic Hybrid Takes Home Ajac 2025 Canadian Car Of The Year Award

• The built-in-Canada sedan and sporty hatchback take top honours from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada as the accolades for the Civic Hybrid keep mounting

Honda Canada is thrilled to announce that the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid, the electrified variant of Canada’s best-selling compact car, has been named the 2025 Canadian Car of the Year by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC).

Positioned at the top of the refreshed 2025 Honda Civic lineup, the Civic Hybrid, offered as a sedan or hatchback, combines the fun-to-drive spirit of Civic with the Honda two-motor hybrid system. With a combined 200 horsepower and an impressive 232 lb.-ft. of torque, the Civic Hybrid is the most powerful non-Type R Civic ever.

“We remain impressed and humbled at the awards and accolades the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid is receiving, these distinctions are a result of our hardworking engineers and talented associates at Honda of Canada Mfg. who design and build the Civic,” said Emile Korkor, Assistant Vice President of Honda Canada. “The quality, reliability and popularity of our hybrid vehicles bodes well for the future of our brand as we continue to further electrify our models. We want to thank AJAC for this prestigious award and our Canadian customers for making Civic Canada’s best-selling car.”

Civic Hybrid being named the 2025 Canadian Car of the Year comes just a month after it was crowned the 2025 North American Car of the Year. The awards and accolades keep mounting for Civic Hybrid having already garnered a 2025 Car and Driver 10Best Award and AutoTrader’s 2025 Best Overall and Best Small Car Award.

Civic is Honda’s longest-running automotive nameplate. Honda has sold over 15 million Civics in North America since 1973, and the 11th-generation Civic is an unparalleled success. Serving as the gateway to the Honda brand, Civic was Canada’s best-selling compact car in 2024.
