2025 Honda Civic LX in Platinum White Pearl shown above. If you’re in search of an ideal compact car for your Tewksbury excursions, we at Atamian Honda would wager that your list of potential picks include the 2025 Honda Civic. In order to convince you that this model is your best bet, we’ve put it side by side with some of its top contenders on the market!

You’ll find the 2025 Civic to be surprisingly roomy when you hop into the cabin, especially compared to competitors like the 2025 Corolla. With 99 cubic ft. of passenger space, the Honda model provides more area for you and your crew to sit back and relax. Furthermore, the 42.3 and 37.4 inches of front and rear legroom ensures that even your tallest friend can stay comfortable on board. This also translates to a good amount of cargo volume measured at 14.8 cubic ft. for your belongings. If you choose the Toyota car, you’ll have to get used to hunching and hunkering, since it delivers only 88.6 cubic ft. of passenger room alongside 42 and 34.8 inches of front and rear legroom. Due to its smaller 13.1 cubic ft. of cargo space, you won’t be able to pack as much when you head to Saunders Recreational Area for a picnic either.

In terms of performance, the 2025 Honda Civic and 2025 Sentra are similar in that both come standard with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission in addition to a FWD system. The two vehicles are on par when it comes to strength, the Honda energized by 150 horsepower and 133 lb.-ft. of torque while the Nissan propels itself forward with 149 horsepower and 146 lb.-ft. of torque. However, if you place a lot of importance in your next car’s ability to save you at the gas pump, you’re sure to find the Civic more satisfying, since it offers a better fuel economy rating of 32/41/36 MPG city/hwy/combined compared to the Sentra’s 30/40/34 MPG city/hwy/combined. Plus, in the Honda model, the standard Eco Assist™ System will give you tips on how to adjust your driving habits for increased efficiency. This feature is unavailable in the Nissan car.

Extended trips up and down Route 38 can quickly get monotonous, which is why the Honda Civic offers Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow as a standard feature. By maintaining your following distance in accordance with how fast the car ahead of you is going, it reduces the mental load of being behind the wheel. The ELANTRA’s equivalent technology, Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, is available on higher trims, making it inaccessible on the base model. To make things worse for the Hyundai, it lacks a feature like the Civic’s standard Traffic Sign Recognition System, which can show you the speed limit on a given stretch of road if you happen to miss a notice about it. Now that you know how the 2025 Civic weighs up against the competition, check out current incentives for the model that make acquiring it even more worthwhile!

With 14.8 cubic ft. of maximum cargo volume, the 2025 Honda Civic trumps the 2025 Toyota Corolla, 2025 Hyundai ELANTRA, and 2025 Nissan Sentra when it comes to storage space for your belongings.
