2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Reviews SummaryThe 2025 Honda Civic lineup gets a big change with the debut of a new Hybrid model that promises more power and significantly improved fuel economy. A slight styling refresh and new features further benefit this affordable and attractive compact car, which is still available in sedan or hatchback body styles. | |
2025 Hyundai Sonata Reviews SummaryWhile its standout features are its value and safety ratings, in N Line trim the Sonata also offers some emotional appeal. Affordable sports sedans are increasingly rare, and aside from the Kia K5 GT and Subaru Legacy Sport, there’s little else in the 2025 Sonata N Line’s segment that gives you this much horsepower for this kind of price. Of course, there is a penalty to pay at the gas pump, but otherwise the N Line delivers. In general, new rear-seat air conditioning vents and improved crash-test ratings boost the 2025 Sonata’s appeal and while gas models aren’t very fuel-efficient, the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid fares better in this respect. Verdict: Hyundai refreshed the Sonata in 2024 and improved its safety rating in 2025, keeping it competitive against midsize sedan rivals. All versions offer compelling value and are impressively safe, while the N Line model is pleasantly sporty. | |
