At Kunes Auto Mall of Sycamore, we know the Honda Civic has long been a favorite among Illinois drivers who want a compact car that balances fuel efficiency, reliability, and fun-to-drive performance. For 2025, the Civic lineup offers trims designed for different types of drivers, from budget-conscious commuters to those looking for extra style or comfort.
If you’re considering the LX, Sport, or EX trim, here’s a detailed breakdown of what each one offers — and which might be the best fit for your lifestyle around Sycamore, DeKalb, and beyond.
The LX Trim — Affordable and Dependable
The Civic LX is the most budget-friendly entry point into the 2025 lineup, but don’t let that fool you. It comes equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing around 150 horsepower, paired with Honda’s continuously variable transmission (CVT). This setup delivers smooth acceleration and excellent fuel economy, making it an ideal choice for commuting across Northern Illinois.
Inside, the LX includes everything you need for modern driving. A touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keeps you connected on the go, while Honda Sensing® driver-assist technology provides peace of mind with features like lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. Add in automatic climate control and a thoughtfully designed cabin, and you’ve got a car that feels anything but basic.
On the outside, the LX maintains a clean and timeless design with practical 16-inch wheels. It’s straightforward, efficient, and built with Honda’s legendary reliability — perfect for drivers who want value without compromise.
The Sport Trim — A Stylish Upgrade
For drivers who like their Civic with a little more personality, the Sport trim is the way to go. Under the hood, it carries the same efficient 2.0-liter engine as the LX, but with the addition of a Sport driving mode that enhances responsiveness for a more engaging drive.
Visually, the Civic Sport makes a bold statement. It comes with striking 18-inch alloy wheels, gloss-black exterior accents, and a more aggressive stance that immediately sets it apart from the base model. Around Sycamore or downtown DeKalb, the Sport trim turns heads wherever it goes.
Inside, the upgrades continue. A leather-wrapped steering wheel, sport pedals, and an enhanced audio system create a cabin that feels more driver-focused and energetic. These details give the Sport a youthful, dynamic edge — perfect for those who want their daily drive to feel just a little more exciting.
The EX Trim — Comfort and Tech at the Forefront
If your focus is on comfort and technology, the Civic EX is designed with you in mind. This trim combines the Civic’s efficiency with premium touches that make every drive more enjoyable, whether you’re commuting on I-88 or heading out for a weekend trip.
Inside, you’ll find heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a one-touch power moonroof that brightens the cabin and adds a touch of luxury. The materials are upgraded for a more refined feel, creating a quieter, more comfortable ride for both driver and passengers.
Tech features also get a boost in the EX. Expect a larger infotainment screen, additional USB ports, and extra driver-assist tools like blind-spot monitoring. These enhancements make the EX the most well-rounded option for drivers who want their Civic to deliver both practicality and premium convenience.
Which Trim Is Right for You?
- Choose the LX if you want a dependable, budget-friendly Civic with excellent efficiency and all the essential tech.
- Choose the Sport if you crave a bolder design, a more athletic feel, and stylish upgrades inside and out.
- Choose the EX if you value added comfort, modern tech, and premium features that make daily driving more enjoyable.
No matter which trim you select, the 2025 Honda Civic remains a smart investment for drivers in Sycamore and DeKalb County. Each model offers Honda’s signature blend of dependability, efficiency, and fun — the only question is which version best matches your lifestyle.
