Overview
The Honda Civic FE facelift is a C-segment sedan with five seats, sold in Malaysia with 1.5 litre turbo petrol and 2.0 litre e:HEV hybrid drivetrains. It suits buyers who want a conventional sedan body with a choice between petrol and hybrid power. Prices start from RM133,900 for the 1.5 E.
Civic in 2026 — what's new
In Malaysia, the Civic carries on into 2026 as the 2025 FE facelift, with the same four-variant line-up: 1.5 E, 1.5 V, 1.5 RS Turbo and 2.0 RS e:HEV. Recent local updates are sales campaigns rather than a new specification, with promotions listing up to RM12,000 off the Civic. S+ Shift has appeared in 2026 Civic e:HEV news from Thailand and Japan, but the current Malaysian Civic range does not include it.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the 1.5 E at RM133,900 because it has the same 1,498 cc, 180 hp petrol engine, CVT automatic and five-seat layout as the 1.5 V at RM144,900 and 1.5 RS Turbo at RM149,900. On paper, the extra money buys trim, not a different drivetrain, so check the equipment list. Pay RM167,900 for the 2.0 RS e:HEV only if the petrol hybrid single-ratio setup is what you want.

Honda Civic buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Civic remains a key C-segment sedan in Malaysia because the FE facelift keeps a wide range: three 180 hp turbo petrol variants and one e:HEV hybrid. It is not the cheapest way into the class, with the Proton S70, BYD Seal 6, Aion ES and Mazda 3 Sedan all starting lower. But it sits just below the Toyota Corolla and Peugeot 408 entry prices, and the hybrid gives the range a clear step-up option.
