Choosing a 2026 Honda Civic in Montreal means being able to match the same sedan to very different priorities. Some drivers are mainly looking for an affordable starting price, while others want more comfort, and those who regularly drive through the streets of Montreal may be especially interested in the fuel economy of the hybrid trims. For 2026, Honda Canada offers four Civic Sedan trims: LX, Sport, Sport Hybrid, and Sport Touring Hybrid.

So, which one should you choose? Here are the key differences to know before getting behind the wheel.

2026 Honda Civic: Two Powertrains Across Four Trims

The lineup is divided into two main groups.

The Civic LX and Sport use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 150 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 133 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

The Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid also use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, combined with Honda’s two-motor hybrid system. Total combined output reaches 200 horsepower, with 232 lb-ft of combined torque. The hybrid trims use an eCVT.

All four trims are front-wheel drive. They also include several Honda Sensing technologies, including Adaptive Cruise Control, the Blind Spot Information System, Cross Traffic Monitor, Lane Keeping Assist System, and Road Departure Mitigation System.

2026 Honda Civic LX: Covering the Essentials Without Sacrificing Everyday Comfort

The Civic LX is the entry point to the lineup. It is currently listed at Lombardi Honda with a starting price of $31,592. Prices and conditions can change, of course, so it is always best to confirm the current price when you are ready to shop.

Standard features include heated front seats, heated side mirrors, push-button start, a 7-inch touchscreen, and an eight-speaker audio system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available through a wired connection. The LX rides on 16-inch wheels.

Honda estimates its fuel consumption at:

  • 7.3 L/100 km in the city;

  • 5.7 L/100 km on the highway;

  • 6.6 L/100 km combined.

Which Montreal driver is it best suited for? The LX is particularly well suited to drivers who want to keep their budget in check without giving up the essential features needed for everyday driving in Quebec. Heated seats and heated mirrors are especially welcome when temperatures start to drop.

2026 Honda Civic Sport: More Features and Sportier Styling

The 2026 Civic Sport keeps the same 150-horsepower gasoline engine but adds several features compared with the LX. Its current starting price at Lombardi Honda is $35,452.

Key features include:

  • 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels;

  • a one-touch power moonroof;

  • a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel;

  • dual-zone automatic climate control;

  • seats combining fabric and synthetic material;

  • a Sport drive mode.

Its official fuel consumption is rated at 7.5 L/100 km in the city, 6.0 L/100 km on the highway, and 6.8 L/100 km combined.

Which Montreal driver is it best suited for? The Sport is aimed at drivers who want to keep a conventional gasoline powertrain while enjoying a higher level of comfort and a sportier appearance. The heated steering wheel, moonroof, and dual-zone climate control also make it better equipped for year-round use.

2026 Honda Civic Sport Hybrid: A Balance of Efficiency and Power

With the Civic Sport Hybrid, the lineup takes on a different character. Combined output increases to 200 horsepower, while combined torque reaches 232 lb-ft.

Its most measurable advantage, however, can be seen at the fuel pump. Honda rates it at:

  • 4.7 L/100 km in the city;

  • 5.1 L/100 km on the highway;

  • 4.9 L/100 km combined.

For comparison, the LX is rated at 6.6 L/100 km combined, while the Sport is rated at 6.8 L/100 km combined. The difference is even more noticeable in city driving.

The Sport Hybrid keeps the Sport trim’s 18-inch wheels, moonroof, dual-zone climate control, and heated steering wheel. It also adds steering-wheel-mounted regenerative deceleration selectors.

It is currently listed at Lombardi Honda with a starting price of $37,347.

Which Montreal driver is it best suited for? For drivers who want substantially lower official fuel consumption than the two gasoline trims while also getting the most powerful powertrain in the regular Civic lineup covered here, the Sport Hybrid offers a particularly compelling combination.

2026 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid: The Most Fully Equipped Civic

The Sport Touring Hybrid retains the same 200 horsepower, 232 lb-ft of torque, and 4.9 L/100 km combined fuel-consumption rating as the Sport Hybrid. The main difference lies in its equipment.

It adds features such as leather-trimmed seats, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, a four-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, heated rear seats, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.

On the technology side, it also includes a 9-inch touchscreen, a 10.2-inch digital instrument display, Google built-in, a wireless phone charger, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system with a subwoofer. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be used through either a wired or wireless connection.

Its current starting price at Lombardi Honda is $40,847.

Which Montreal driver is it best suited for? This is the trim to consider when equipment, onboard technology, and comfort matter just as much as fuel efficiency.

Which 2026 Honda Civic Should You Choose Based on Your Priorities?

The choice can ultimately be summarized this way:

  • LX: for the lowest starting price in the lineup.

  • Sport: for keeping the gasoline engine while adding more comfort and styling features.

  • Sport Hybrid: for 200 horsepower and an official combined fuel-consumption rating of 4.9 L/100 km without moving up to the highest equipment level.

  • Sport Touring Hybrid: for combining the hybrid powertrain with the most comprehensive equipment package in the lineup.

Regardless of trim, the Civic Sedan retains seating for five and 419 liters of cargo capacity. All four versions also measure 4,694.2 mm in length. Moving to the hybrid powertrain therefore does not reduce the cargo volume listed by Honda.
