Big news for Honda fans in Newark and throughout Delaware — the 2026 Honda Civic Hybrid has earned the prestigious Edmunds Top Rated Car Award for 2026.

This marks the fourth time the 11th-generation Honda Civic has received an Edmunds Top Rated honor, reinforcing what drivers already know: Civic continues to set the benchmark in its class.

Why the 2026 Civic Hybrid Stands Out

The Edmunds Test Team recognized the Civic Hybrid for:

  • Sporty, modern design
  • Class-leading safety performance
  • Excellent driving dynamics
  • A fun-to-drive personality
  • Outstanding overall value

Edmunds Editor-in-Chief Alistair Weaver summed it up perfectly:

“A repeat winner of this award, the Honda Civic Hybrid offers a tremendous breadth of quality at a value price. Frugal, refined, comfortable and capable, it’s a car without serious fault, whether you choose the sedan or the versatile hatchback.”

Award-Winning Hybrid Performance

The 2026 Civic Hybrid is powered by Honda’s fourth-generation two-motor hybrid-electric system, delivering an ultra-smooth and highly responsive driving experience.

Key highlights include:

  • Exceptional fuel efficiency
  • Quick, confident acceleration
  • Seamless hybrid power delivery
  • No compromise on passenger or cargo space

The result? A Civic that’s efficient enough for your daily commute through Newark or Wilmington, yet engaging enough for weekend drives down the Delaware coast.

A Proven Track Record of Excellence

The Edmunds Top Rated Awards recognize the best vehicles currently on sale, based on extensive real-world testing and evaluation by the Edmunds team. Since the award’s launch in 2020, the Honda Civic and Honda Accord have earned five Edmunds Top Rated honors — a testament to Honda’s commitment to quality, safety, and performance.
