The Honda Civic Hybrid has taken the top spot as the 2025 Canadian Car of the Year, solidifying its reputation as a fan favorite in the country. Announced by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC), this win adds to the Civic’s long history of success, proving once again why it remains a go-to choice for drivers across Canada.

A Big Win for the Civic Hybrid

The Civic is a household name in Canada and this latest award recognizes its continued evolution. The hybrid model was singled out for its practicality, comfort, and impressive design. According to AJAC, the selection process involved extensive real-world testing, evaluating factors like performance, fuel economy, safety, and overall driving experience.

Built in Canada

For Canadian drivers, there’s something extra special about this win—the Civic Hybrid is assembled in Alliston, Ontario. Honda has been building Civics in Canada for decades, and this recognition highlights the brand’s local impact and commitment to quality.

“We’re incredibly proud to see the Civic Hybrid recognized,” said Honda’s Assistant Vice President Emile Korkor in a press release. “This award speaks to Honda’s commitment to delivering vehicles that combine efficiency, reliability, and innovation for Canadian drivers.”

AJAC President Evan Williams also highlighted the importance of real-world testing in selecting the winners:
“Our jurors drive these vehicles on the same roads Canadians use daily. The Honda Civic Hybrid stood out for its practicality and innovation.”

Fuel Efficiency & Features

One of the biggest draws of the Civic Hybrid is its impressive fuel economy. With an EPA-estimated 50 mpg in the city, it’s designed to go the distance while keeping fuel costs low. The model also features Active Noise Control, reducing road noise for a smoother and quieter ride.

Beyond this latest Canadian Car of the Year title, the Honda Civic has consistently earned top spots in industry rankings including AutoTrader naming the Civic one of Canada’s best compact cars in past years.
Other winners in different categories included:

  • Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year: Hyundai Santa Fe
  • Canadian Electric Car of the Year: BMW i4
  • Canadian Electric Utility Vehicle of the Year: Hyundai Ioniq 5 N

Honda’s reputation for reliability, affordability, and strong resale value continues to make it a standout choice. Whether you’re a longtime Civic fan or considering your first hybrid, this recognition confirms that Honda is still delivering what Canadian drivers want—a fuel-efficient, well-designed, and dependable vehicle.
