2027 Honda Civic Adds New Sport-L Trim and S+ Shift Technology

The 2027 Honda Civic brings more choices to drivers shopping for a compact car in Newark, Delaware. With a new Sport-L trim and added driving technology for the Sport Touring Hybrid, the latest Civic lineup offers fresh ways to combine everyday comfort, value and driving enjoyment.

Honda says the 2027 Civic Sedan and Hatchback are beginning to arrive at dealerships nationwide, with the new Sport-L expected to join the lineup by the end of 2026.

Meet the New Honda Civic Sport-L

Positioned between the Civic Sport and Sport Hybrid, the new Sport-L gives shoppers access to premium comfort features with a conventional 2.0-liter gasoline engine.

Highlights include:

• Leather upholstery
• Power-adjustable and heated front seats
• Dual-zone climate control

For Delaware drivers who want heated seats for chilly mornings and a more comfortable cabin for daily commuting, the Sport-L adds an appealing option to the Civic lineup.

2027 Honda Civic Starting Prices

Honda’s announced starting MSRPs for the Civic Sedan include:

These prices exclude Honda’s $1,295 destination and handling charge. Taxes, title, registration, accessories and applicable additional charges are extra. Dealer prices may vary. Hatchback pricing differs.

The new Sport-L gives buyers another price point to consider when comparing a gasoline-powered Civic with a Civic Hybrid.

What Is Honda S+ Shift?

The 2027 Civic Sport Touring Hybrid adds Honda S+ Shift, a drive mode designed to create a more engaging experience behind the wheel.

First introduced on the 2026 Honda Prelude, S+ Shift simulates the feel of a performance transmission through virtual rev-matched downshifts, gear holding and enhanced engine sounds. The technology adds another dimension to the Civic Hybrid’s driving experience for shoppers who enjoy a sportier connection with their car.

Which Civic Fits Your Needs?

Your ideal Civic depends on how you plan to use it. The LX provides an accessible starting point, while the new Sport-L deserves a closer look if cabin comfort is high on your list. Drivers considering a hybrid can compare the Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid, including the latter’s new S+ Shift technology.

Comparing the Sedan and Hatchback in person can also help you decide which body style works best for your passengers, cargo and daily routine.
