Recently tried several versions of the Civic, I think the main differences lie in the engine and driving feel. For example, the base LX model uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with smooth acceleration but only 158 horsepower, suitable for daily commuting; upgrading to the EX or Sport version adds sport-tuned suspension, making it more engaging to drive, and the Sport version also features 18-inch wheels and a unique front grille for a more youthful and sporty look. The high-end Touring version keeps the same engine but adds adaptive cruise control and a sunroof, making highway driving more comfortable. The hybrid version stands out for its fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption under 5L/100km, ideal for eco-conscious drivers. Overall, which model to choose depends on whether your daily needs prioritize economy and practicality or driving pleasure. From a driving perspective, I recommend test-driving the Sport version first to feel the difference.
