Brad Deery Honda – What to Know About the 2026 Honda Civic Sedan
At Brad Deery Honda, serving Burlington, Iowa City, and Coralville, we consider the 2026 Honda Civic Sedan the benchmark for compact sedans that deliver real value without compromise. The latest Civic Sedan blends refined style with responsive handling, advanced in-cabin tech, and a standout available hybrid system that brings up to 200 horsepower alongside an impressive 50 city/47 highway mpg rating. Whether you are commuting daily or planning weekend drives, the Civic Sedan’s mix of performance, efficiency, and safety makes it an easy first choice for shoppers who want a sedan that feels premium every time they drive.
The Civic Sedan’s hybrid powertrain is the headliner—quick off the line, smooth at highway speeds, and engineered to sip fuel. Hybrid trims include steering wheel deceleration selectors that let you fine-tune regenerative braking to match your preference, a detail you will appreciate as you descend off-ramps or coast through town. The 4-mode drive system lets you toggle among ECON, Normal, Sport, and an Individual mode that personalizes steering, gauges, and more. Non-hybrid trims feature a responsive 2.0-liter engine paired with a CVT for effortless daily driving. A sporty MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear setup give the Civic Sedan the confident, planted feel you notice the moment you turn the wheel.
Design-wise, the 2026 Civic Sedan balances athletic lines with a clean, modern aesthetic. LED headlights are standard, and the sculpted roofline, elongated hood, and crisp body contours create a strong stance. Inside, the cabin feels airy and intentional. The driver-focused cockpit provides wide sightlines and simple, tactile controls. Available amenities like an 8-way power driver seat, heated front seats, and leather-trimmed surfaces elevate long-distance comfort. Practical touches—dual-zone climate control and a 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback—add the versatility that fits real life without adding clutter.

Technology is intuitive throughout. Trims with Google built-in bring voice-first navigation and convenient access to apps, while wireless smartphone integration streamlines your daily routine—no cords needed. An available digital instrument cluster lets you prioritize the information you care about, from drive data to turn-by-turn directions. For audio enthusiasts, the available 12-speaker Bose Premium Sound System with Centerpoint technology delivers rich, immersive sound for podcasts, playlists, and everything in between. Add the HondaLink app for remote vehicle insights and scheduling service when it is time for routine maintenance.
Safety and peace of mind remain core strengths. The Honda Sensing suite includes technologies designed to help you stay centered in your lane, maintain a set following interval on the highway, and receive alerts when the system detects potential hazards. The available blind spot information system with cross traffic monitor is especially helpful in crowded parking lots and multi-lane traffic. A multi-angle rearview camera with dynamic guidelines adds clarity when backing up, and Walk Away Auto Lock helps secure the vehicle as you go about your day.
