Honda of Oakland - What to Know About the 2026 Honda Civic Sedan

The 2026 Honda Civic Sedan continues a legacy of refinement, value, and everyday excitement. It delivers the comfortable commute, the confident weekend getaway, and the connected cabin experience modern drivers expect. At Honda of Oakland in Oakland, serving Berkeley, San Francisco, and Richmond, we focus on pairing each driver with the Civic configuration that best fits unique needs—whether that means a sporty hybrid for spirited efficiency or a well-equipped gas model ready for daily duty.

Performance is where this Civic punches above its class. The available hybrid powertrain brings up to 200 horsepower for smooth, confident acceleration without sacrificing efficiency. A responsive suspension—MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link rear—keeps the car composed over bumps and agile through curves. Hybrid trims add deceleration selectors to tailor regenerative braking feel, and a Drive Mode selector makes it simple to toggle among ECON, Normal, Sport, and, on select trims, an Individual mode you can customize.

Design-wise, the 2026 Civic Sedan blends sporty proportion with clean, timeless lines. Standard LED headlights and a sculpted roofline create a purposeful stance, while available 18-inch alloy wheels add visual punch on upper trims. Inside, the cabin is open and thoughtfully arranged for clear sightlines and intuitive control placement. Available features—like heated front seats, a leather-trimmed interior, an 8-way power driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control, and a one-touch power moonroof—elevate daily comfort without complicating your routine.

Technology is a highlight. Available Google built-in integrates Google Assistant voice control, Google Maps for real-time navigation, and Google Play app access directly into the vehicle’s interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility help keep your phone in your pocket while your favorite apps stay front and center. A wireless phone charger removes cord clutter, and the available Bose Premium Sound System delivers rich, balanced audio for podcasts, playlists, and calls.

Confidence comes standard through Honda Sensing, a comprehensive suite of driver-assistive technologies. Key features include Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Lane Keeping Assist with Traffic Jam Assist, and Traffic Sign Recognition. A multi-angle rearview camera supports low-speed maneuvers, and available blind spot information with cross traffic monitor further enhances your awareness during lane changes and while backing out of busy spaces.

  • Powertrain options: Choose a responsive 2.0-liter gas engine or step up to the available 200-hp hybrid for performance and efficiency in one package.
