Overview

The Honda Civic FE facelift is a five-seat C-segment sedan launched in 2025, aimed at drivers who want a choice of 1.5-litre turbo petrol or 2.0-litre hybrid power in a front-wheel-drive four-door. Prices start from RM133,900, with E, V, RS Turbo and e:HEV RS versions forming the range.

Civic in 2026 — what's new

The Malaysian Civic carries into 2026 unchanged. The current FE facelift range remains the 1.5 E, 1.5 V and 1.5 RS Turbo, plus the 2.0 RS e:HEV hybrid. Thailand’s 2026 e:HEV gains S+ Shift simulated gearshifts and Blind Spot Information System, but those changes are not confirmed for Malaysia. Malaysian buyers continue with the existing four-variant line-up.

Which variant to buy

For most buyers, start with the RM133,900 1.5 E: it has the same 1,498 cc, 180 hp turbo engine, CVT and front-wheel drive as the RM144,900 1.5 V and RM149,900 1.5 RS Turbo. The RM11,000 step to V and further RM5,000 to RS need to be justified by their respective equipment lists; on paper, you are paying for trim rather than mechanicals. Pay RM167,900 for the 2.0 RS e:HEV if the hybrid’s stated 322 hp output and single-ratio automatic are what you want.

Verdict

The Civic gives buyers a straightforward choice between three mechanically similar 180 hp turbo variants and a more powerful hybrid flagship. Its entry price is RM14,280 higher than the Mazda 3 Sedan and RM27,100 below the Toyota Corolla, while the hybrid sits well above both entry-level alternatives. Check the E, V and RS equipment differences carefully before spending beyond the base turbo.
