The Honda model year lineup for 2025 is an exciting one, filled to the brim with all sorts of excellent options, some major overhauls, and some promising new changes. If you're looking for a good 2025 model year vehicle from the team here at Klein Honda, your Honda dealer near Edmonds, you will find that there is a slate of different options with some noteworthy new features and promising changes to what they have to offer. Whether you're interested in the Civic Sedan, the Civic Hatchback, or a family vehicle like the three-row Honda Pilot, Honda has something new in store for each type of driver in Edmonds.

Major Changes for the 2025 Honda Pilot

Not every 2025 model offered by Honda has undergone major changes or updates. Several of them simply carry over the features from the outgoing model year. In the case of the 2025 Honda Pilot, however, it has introduced some all-new features for the interior and exterior and had a new special trim in the form of the Black Edition, which sits above the Elite. This gives Honda Pilot shoppers the opportunity to spruce up the look and feel of the three-row SUV to fit a sportier aesthetic for those who want it.

The Black Edition features a slightly modified exterior, which you can actually get in more colors than just black. However, if you want to embrace the midnight theme, Honda offers a Crystal Black Pearl exterior color. The Black Edition features 20-inch Gloss Black aluminum alloy wheels, as well as a Gloss Black front grille with “Black Edition” badging in the corner of the grille. You have Gloss Black side mirrors and blackout color treatments for the inlet surround, lower bumper garnish, and window surround. There are also new interior details for the Black Edition, featuring red stitching that contrasts with the black leather upholstery. Red ambient accent lighting for the dashboard, doors, and center console helps add to the aesthetic of the trim. You even have the Black Edition logo featured throughout the interior.

The Pilot has also received an update to the adventurous TrailSport trim for the 2025 model year, with improved all-wheel drive and suspension tuning. This was done to improve the Pilot's off-road capabilities, increasing the ground clearance to make it easier to avoid obstacles on the trail. It also gets new all-terrain tires designed to improve off-road performance. This comes at an opportune time as more and more drivers are beginning to explore off-road travel across a wider segment of vehicles, so the TrailSport having its off-road capabilities enhanced definitely adds a lot more to the Pilot's value for the 2025 model year.

Updated 2025 Honda Civic Sedan Features

The Civic Sedan and the Civic Hatchback have both received some noteworthy updates for the 2025 model year. For the Honda Civic Sedan, there have been some updates to the exterior, as well as a new hybrid variant, plus new tech updates for the interior. Most importantly, the Civic Sedan was tuned to get the most out of its fuel economy.

The 2025 Civic Sedan is available with two hybrid trims in the form of the Sport Hybrid, which sits above the Sport trim, and the Sport Touring Hybrid, which sits at the top of the lineup. The hybrid options open up better fuel economy for the Civic Sedan, enabling you to achieve an EPA-estimated 50 MPG in the city and 47 MPG on the highway.[a] This makes it an amazing choice for Edmonds commuters.

In addition to the new hybrid models joining the lineup, there are also changes to the exterior. The front fascia has undergone some notable changes, with a much sportier lower bumper, a more pronounced grille, and more aggressive styling for the side inlets. You have new darker tail lights and body-colored headlamp garnishes for the hybrid trims. The Sport Touring Hybrid also receives an exclusive machine-finished wheel design.

The exterior color options have also been updated, with the Civic Sedan getting an exclusive Blue Lagoon Pearl, as well as two other colors shared with the Civic Hatchback: Solar Silver Metallic and Urban Gray Pearl. Inside the refreshed 2025 Civic, you have a new gray interior color and a standard moonroof on the Sport Hybrid. Meanwhile, the Sport Touring Hybrid adds leather seating, a 12-speaker Bose sound system, a nine-inch touchscreen, and Google Built-In support for the infotainment suite.

First-Ever 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback Hybrid

The Civic Hatchback for the 2025 model year features many of the same refreshed updates as the Civic Sedan, including the new hybrid option, which boosts performance and fuel economy. Thanks to the unique Honda hybrid powertrain design, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder hybrid provides 200 hp and 232 lb-ft of torque. The Civic Hatchback is now available in three trims, two of which are hybrid. It starts with the Sport, has the Sport Hybrid in the middle, and tops out with the Sport Touring Hybrid.

The first-ever hybrid iterations of the Civic Hatchback enable it to achieve much higher fuel economy ratings, making it much more valuable for long-range commuting. However, if you want pure performance from the hatchback, it's still available in the Civic Type R. The Civic Hatchback also has a few features exclusive to its design that separate it from the Civic Sedan models. For instance, while it shares the new Solar Silver Metallic and Urban Gray Pearl exterior colors, it also has an exclusive Sand Dune Pearl that is only available for the Civic Hatchback.

Much like the Civic Sedan, the Civic Hatchback also comes with enhanced interior changes and infotainment updates. Part of this update includes the introduction of the Google Built-In suite, featuring the Google Assistant app, easy access to Google Maps, and additional software and games you can acquire from the Google Play Store. Google Built-In is also fully powered by voice-activated commands, so if you want to access your favorite media, playlists, podcasts, and more, you can do so simply by talking to Google Assistant.

Honda's engineers have also improved the overall handling and suspension of the Civic models. With new springs and suspension tuning, the Civic Hatchback has never been more fun to drive and more responsive than the newest 2025 model year. This makes it great for both enthusiast drivers looking for amazing performance and those who just want a responsive and stable hatchback for daily driving around Edmonds.
