Honda has unveiled the 2025 Civic Facelift in Southeast Asia, with Thailand being the first market to receive this updated model. The car is offered in three variants: 1.5 Turbo EL+, e:HEV EL+, and e:HEV RS.
Pricing will be announced later, but it is expected to range from 1.03 to 1.24 million Baht (approximately $30,000 to $36,000). If this information is accurate, the price of the Honda Civic 2025 in Thailand will be on par with the price of the older version currently sold in Vietnam.
Following its launch in Thailand, the 2025 Civic is also expected to arrive soon in Vietnam. Some local Honda dealers have already started taking deposits for this facelifted sedan, with an expected launch date in September or October.
The 2025 Civic for the Thai market features similar exterior upgrades as the North American version, including a revised front bumper, a new grille, and smoked taillights. The 1.5 Turbo EL+ variant sports 17-inch alloy wheels, while the e:HEV RS version boasts a new design for its 18-inch alloys.
While the interior remains largely unchanged, there have been significant technological upgrades. The most notable improvement is the larger 9-inch infotainment screen, running software developed by Google and offering built-in features such as maps, voice assistant, and an app store.
Other notable enhancements include wireless charging, a Bose 12-speaker audio system (on the e:HEV RS), USB-C charging ports, Honda Connect, and additional safety features as part of the Honda Sensing suite.
In Thailand, the Honda Civic 2025 is available with two engine options. The first is a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine that produces 178 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT transmission.
The second option is a hybrid powertrain that combines a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors, delivering a combined output of 184 horsepower and 315 Nm of torque. The car comes with front-wheel drive and a MacPherson strut suspension at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear.
