Civic Hybrid for a sedan, CR-V Hybrid for an SUV at Boardwalk Honda

The Civic Hybrid starts at $29,395 for the Sedan Sport Hybrid, and the CR-V Hybrid starts at $35,630 for the Sport Hybrid (2WD). Those are Honda’s 2026 starting prices, the lowest-priced trim in each line. Boardwalk Honda sells new Civic and CR-V models at 6807 Tilton Rd, Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234.

Pick the Civic Hybrid if the sedan body and the lower price matter most. Pick the CR-V Hybrid if you need an SUV body and the extra room that comes with it.

How much more does the CR-V Hybrid cost than the Civic Hybrid?

The CR-V Hybrid’s starting MSRP is $6,235 above the Civic Hybrid’s. That is the gap between Honda’s two published lowest hybrid prices: $35,630 for the CR-V Sport Hybrid (2WD) and $29,395 for the Civic Sedan Sport Hybrid.

The gap widens with trim. The Civic Hatchback Sport Hybrid starts at $30,595, and the CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid (AWD) starts at $42,550. Compare the trim you plan to buy against the same trim in the other line, not the starting prices alone.

What do New Jersey taxes and fees add to a new Honda hybrid?

New Jersey charges a 6.625% sales tax on the purchase price of a new vehicle, according to the New Jersey Division of Taxation’s Motor Vehicle Casual Sales Frequently Asked Questions (2026). Applied to each starting MSRP, that tax is about $1,947 on the Civic Sedan Sport Hybrid and about $2,360 on the CR-V Sport Hybrid (2WD). The tax difference alone adds about $413 to the gap.

Registration is set by weight and model year. The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (2026) lists $59.00 for a car under 3,500 pounds within two years of its model year, and $84.00 for a car over 3,500 pounds in the same window. Title for a financed vehicle with one lien is $85, and a standard title is $60. At a dealership in New Jersey, the dealer handles registration and title work for you.

What EPA fuel economy does each Honda hybrid post, city and highway?

Honda’s EPA combined ratings are 49 mpg (Civic 4Dr hybrid), 48 mpg (Civic 5Dr hybrid), 40 mpg (CR-V FWD hybrid) and 37 mpg (CR-V AWD hybrid). The combined figure is the fair single number to compare, because EPA weights city at 55% and highway at 45%.

The Civic Hybrid’s city rating is 50 mpg in both body styles. The CR-V Hybrid’s city rating is 43 mpg with front-wheel drive and 40 mpg with all-wheel drive. Highway ratings run closer: 47 mpg for the Civic 4Dr hybrid and 36 mpg for the CR-V FWD hybrid. Expect the Civic to lead on fuel economy in every driving mix.
