The 2019 Honda Civic is one of the more common sedans you’ll see driving around Oklahoma City. But which trim is the right one for you? That’s what we are here to find out! We are going to compare the Sport and Touring trims.
As you might expect, the higher trim, or the Touring, has more power available. It delivers 174 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque. This is a fair bit more than the 158 hp and 138 lb.-ft. of torque in the Civic Sport. While the lower trim delivers a solid EPA-Estimated fuel economy of 25 mpg in the city, 36 mpg on the highway, and a combined 29 mpg, the Touring once again rises above it with 30 city mpg and 38 mpg highway, with 33 mpg combined. But don’t let this turn you away from the Civic Sport. Let’s take a closer look.
Honda Civic Sport |
Vs |
Honda Civic Touring |
---|---|---|
158 hp & 138 lb.-ft. | Horsepower & Torque | 174 hp & 162 lb.-ft. |
6-speed automatic | Standard Transmission | CVT |
25 / 36 / 29 mpg (city/hwy/combined) | EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy* | 30 / 38 / 33 mpg (city/hwy/combined) |
Standard | Collision Mitigation Braking System | Standard |
Standard | Vehicle Stability Assist | Standard |
N/A | Honda LaneWatch™ | Standard |
N/A | Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control | Standard |
N/A | Automatic-Dimming Rearview Mirror | Standard |
If you are worried about not having many driver-assist technology features in the lower trim, rest assured this is not the case. You can find many of the same safety technologies in the Sport that you will in the Touring. Among these technology features is the Collision Mitigation Braking System and the Vehicle Stability Assist. Both have the potential to help keep your vehicle safer, but it’s always a good idea to practice safe driving habits.
However, the Touring does have a bit more technology inside it than the Sport does. This includes the Honda LaneWatch™, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, and an Automatic-Dimming Rearview Mirror.
