Egg Harbor Township commuters get the same hybrid in either Civic trim
The Civic Hybrid Sport and Sport Touring carry the same 200-horsepower hybrid system in every body style. The trims differ in what they cost and what comes with them. For an Egg Harbor Township commuter, the powertrain is settled; the decision is about equipment and price.
Boardwalk Honda, at 6807 Tilton Rd in Egg Harbor Township, sells the new Honda Civic. The starting price tells you where the trims begin. The Civic Sedan Sport Hybrid starts at $29,395 and the Hatchback Sport Hybrid at $30,595.
What does the Civic Hybrid Sport cost compared with the Sport Touring?
The Sport Hybrid starts $3,000 below the Sport Touring in the sedan body, and $3,000 below it in the hatchback.
Those are Honda’s starting prices. Compare the full out-the-door number at the store before you choose, because taxes and fees come on top of the sticker. New Jersey sales tax is 6.625% on the purchase price of a new vehicle, per the New Jersey Division of Taxation’s Motor Vehicle Casual Sales Frequently Asked Questions (2026). A trade-in reduces the taxable amount, per the New Jersey Division of Taxation, New Jersey Tax Guide: Motor Vehicle Purchases/Leases (2026).
What fuel economy does each Civic Hybrid trim get by EPA rating?
The EPA rates the hybrid 50 city, 47 highway and 49 combined in the 4-door, and 50 city, 45 highway and 48 combined in the 5-door. The combined figure is a weighted average of city at 55% and highway at 45%, per the EPA’s fuel economy label method.
The 4-door adds two highway miles per gallon over the 5-door.
Is the Civic Hybrid Sport Touring worth it for daily driving?
If you spend most of your week in the car, the Sport Touring makes sense when you want its added equipment every day. If you mostly want the hybrid’s fuel economy and a lower payment, the Sport gives you the same powertrain.
What does each Civic Hybrid trim include for its price?
The table sets the two trims side by side on the figures Honda publishes.
| Trim | Starting MSRP (USD) | Horsepower (hp) | Seats | EPA combined (mpg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Civic Sedan Sport Hybrid | $29,395 | 200 | 5 | 49 (4Dr) |
| Civic Hatchback Sport Hybrid | $30,595 | 200 | 5 | 48 (5Dr) |
| Civic Sedan Sport Touring Hybrid | $32,395 | 200 | 5 | 49 (4Dr) |
| Civic Hatchback Sport Touring Hybrid | $33,595 | 200 | 5 | 48 (5Dr) |
Every row carries the same engine and seating. The price is the only column that separates the trims.
Who should skip the Civic Hybrid Sport Touring, and who should skip the Sport?
Skip the Sport Touring if the extra $3,000 has no job in your week. The Sport Hybrid gives you the same 200-horsepower hybrid and the same EPA rating. Skip the Sport if the added equipment is the reason you are shopping and you plan to keep the car long enough to use it.
Say you commute the same route five days a week and keep the car for six years. The Sport Touring costs $3,000 more up front. Divided over 72 months, that is about $42 a month before tax, before any financing. That number is hypothetical and does the sum only for this example.
