Honda Civic vs. Toyota Camry Trims & Value

If you're looking for choice and value in your next sedan, the 2025 Toyota Camry has you covered with its array of well-appointed and competitively priced trims. This midsize sedan is affordable, starting with the 2025 Camry LE base trim. The LE and all remaining trims are hybrid, while the Honda Civic only has two hybrid trim options.

The starting price of the Toyota Camry LE is nearly identical to the entry-level Honda Civic hybrid model, the Civic Sport Hybrid. However, the Toyota Camry offers several advantages and value additions in comparison. For starters, the Toyota Camry is more spacious and powerful than the Honda Civic hybrid models - and the gasoline-powered variants. Those benefits alone provide exceptional value, but there are plenty of other perks of picking the Camry over the Civic, which we'll address here.

Honda Civic vs. Toyota Camry Trim Levels

The new Toyota Camry comes in four trims, with multiple options to consider, including the choice of FWD or AWD. A major point of difference you'll find as you compare the Honda Civic vs. Toyota Camry is that the new Civic sedan only comes in FWD. The Civic lineup also has four trims, but the hybrid version of the 2025 Honda Civic only consists of two trim options; the 2025 Toyota Camry lineup is formed entirely by hybrid trims.

When shopping for a 2025 Toyota Camry for sale, you can choose from the following configurations:

  • Toyota Camry LE
  • Toyota Camry SE
  • Toyota Camry XLE
  • Toyota Camry XSE

For those seeking add-ons, the Toyota Camry lineup has you covered with the following available packages, with certain features depending on the trim:

  • Cold Weather Package: Heated leather steering wheel and heated front seats
  • Convenience Package: Smart Key System, power driver's seat, and auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLinkĀ®
  • Premium Package: Panoramic glass roof with moonroof, nine-speaker JBLĀ® sound system, ventilated front seats, driver's seat memory, Head-Up Display, and more
  • Premium Plus Package: Select features of Premium Package and Front Cross-Traffic Alert, Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking, Panoramic View Monitor, and others

The 2025 Honda Civic trims are as follows:

  • Honda Civic LX
  • Honda Civic Sport
  • Honda Civic Sport Hybrid
  • Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid

Package options for the Civic include the All-Season Package I, All-Season Package II, and Protection Package. A lack of available AWD, a lineup with only two hybrid models, and a selection of less exciting add-ons make the Civic configurations thoroughly less appealing than the Camry trims.

Honda Civic vs. Toyota Camry Specs

Sedans like the Honda Civic and Toyota Camry are designed and engineered for refined performance. While both models have excellent MPG and power output, one car in our 2025 Honda Civic vs. Toyota Camry comparison is substantially more efficient and powerful, and it's the Camry.

In standard form, the 2025 Toyota Camry is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine, generating a combined output of 225 horsepower (when equipped with FWD). This powertrain configuration results in robust and responsive performance. The available AWD system further enhances the Toyota Camry performance specs, with power output reaching 232 combined horsepower.

The less powerful Honda Civic sedan model comes standard with a 2.0-liter engine that develops just 150 horsepower. Opt for the available 2.0-liter hybrid engine, and output increases to 200 combined horsepower, but it is still lower than the Camry sedan's standard 225-horsepower output.

While the Honda Civic is smaller and a bit lighter than the more spacious Toyota Camry, it gives up much in the way of performance. Fuel efficiency is stellar in both models, but the Camry delivers more. To level the performance playing field as best as we can, we review the base Camry LE and comparable Civic Sport Hybrid in the chart below.

Even if we factor in the gasoline-powered Civic, the Camry still comes out ahead for performance. So, as it has more power and MPG in all configurations, the 2025 Camry is undeniably the winner of the Toyota Camry vs. Honda Civic specs competition.

Honda Civic vs. Toyota Camry Size & Cargo

If you prefer the style and ride of a sedan to a crossover or SUV but still want to drive a versatile vehicle, consider the Toyota Camry. It boasts a spacious interior as a result of its 111.2-inch wheelbase and length of 193.5 inches.

Comparing the 2025 Honda Civic vs. Toyota Camry dimensions, we see that the Honda Civic measures 184 inches long and rides on a shorter 107.7-inch wheelbase, translating to less overall space for passengers and cargo than in the Toyota Camry. The Civic has 99 cubic feet of passenger volume and 14.8 cubic feet of cargo space, while the Camry boasts up to 99.9 cubic feet and 15.1 cubic feet, respectively.

The higher passenger volume translates to better passenger-specific dimensions in several categories, too. For instance, the 2025 Toyota Camry provides more rear-seat headroom, legroom, and hip room than the 2025 Honda Civic.

If you want to enjoy the perks of upgrading to a modern midsize sedan, including a spacious cabin for up to five occupants and a large trunk, select the 2025 Toyota Camry midsize sedan instead of the 2025 Honda Civic compact car.

Honda Civic vs. Toyota Camry Interior & Features

We know which sedan has more passenger volume in our Honda Civic vs. Toyota Camry matchup, but what about cabin comfort and features? Let's look at how the interiors of these two new cars compete in key areas like standard and available features.

Standard features found in the 2025 Toyota Camry include the following:

  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 8-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • 7-inch digital gauge cluster
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Wireless Android Autoā„¢
  • Wireless Apple CarPlayĀ®
  • Wireless smartphone charging

The 2025 Honda Civic also has standard Apple CarPlayĀ® and Android Autoā„¢ compatibility. However, it is not wireless like the Camry; its wireless smartphone integration is found only in the top Sport Touring Hybrid trim. Additionally, the Civic gets standard single-zone automatic climate control, a four-speaker audio system, and a 7-inch touchscreen.

The Honda Civic does offer dual-zone automatic climate control, but it requires a trim upgrade. It can also gain a larger touchscreen, but only in its top trim level, the Sport Touring Hybrid, and it's only 9 inches. The upgraded touchscreen in the Camry is a vibrant 12.3 inches.

Similar to the Camry, the Civic also comes standard with a 7-inch driver information interface, but its upgraded variant falls behind the Camry at 9 inches; the Toyota Camry offers an available 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. To boot, the 2025 Honda Civic fails to offer wireless smartphone charging in any trim.

Toyota Camry vs. Honda Civic Safety Systems

Advanced safety features are standard in both sedans. These models each feature a sophisticated suite of driver assistance technologies designed to make every drive safer and more stress-free, but the Camry sedan's suite provides more.

In all versions of the 2025 Toyota Camry, the following features are included as part of the standard Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 package:

  • Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
  • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
  • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
  • Lane Tracing Assist
  • Road Sign Assist
  • Automatic High Beams
  • Proactive Driving Assist

For additional safety and security technologies, the new Camry sedan can be fitted with available amenities like Traffic Jam Assist, Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking, a Panoramic View Monitor, Safe Exit Alert, and a Blind-Spot Monitor.

Several key Honda Civic vs. Toyota Camry safety features are a tie, as the Civic also offers assists like Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow and the Lane Keeping Assist System. However, the Civic falls behind because it lacks many of the impressive features that the Camry offers, such as a Panoramic View Monitor and Safe Exit Alert.

Honda Civic vs. Toyota Camry Reliability

Regarding reliability, both the new Toyota Camry and Honda Civic models are known to deliver dependable performance, and that's unlikely to change in their latest iterations. Over the decades, the Honda Civic and Toyota Camry have often provided above-average reliability ratings compared to their compact and midsize sedan counterparts.

Drivers shopping for a dependable new car should feel confident buying or leasing either model. However, the Camry does rank higher in expert reviews. Specifically, J.D.
