Honda Civic Hatchback Sport or Sport Touring: which fits Tulsa drivers?
Choose the Civic Hatchback Sport if you want the lower price. Choose the Sport Touring if you want the fuller comfort and technology list that Honda puts on its top hatchback trim. South Pointe Honda in south Tulsa sells the Civic, and Honda’s published prices and specs show what the extra money buys.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Tulsa. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
Civic Hatchback Sport fits budget Tulsa buyers; Sport Touring fits feature seekers
The Sport suits the Tulsa driver who wants the lower price and the core hatchback. Honda’s 2026 pricing starts the Civic Hatchback Sport at $27,895, the lowest-priced Civic hatchback trim. It runs a 150-horsepower gasoline engine, with 133 lb-ft of torque.
The Sport Touring is the top hatchback trim. Honda starts the Civic Hatchback Sport Touring Hybrid at $33,595, with 200 horsepower. Honda puts its fuller comfort and technology list on that top trim, so a buyer who wants that list pays for it. For a driver who wants a bigger engine and the extra equipment, the Sport Touring is the trim to price out first.
We sell new Civic models, so you can ask us about either trim before you decide.
How much more does the Civic Hatchback Sport Touring cost than the Sport?
The Civic Hatchback Sport Touring Hybrid starts at $33,595 in Honda’s 2026 pricing, against $27,895 for the Sport. A Tulsa buyer weighs that difference against what the top trim adds, and that comparison is the first number to settle before you visit.
The sticker is not the whole bill. Oklahoma levies sales tax on a vehicle purchase, due on the same timetable as the vehicle excise tax (Oklahoma Administrative Code, 2024). Plan for both when you set a budget for either trim.
If the purchase price is the hard limit, the Sport keeps the total lower. If you would rather spread the cost over time, we offer Honda leases along with new-vehicle financing, so you can compare how you pay on either trim. There is an online finance application, labeled “Apply for Financing” and “Apply Now.”
How do the two Civic Hatchback trims differ on power and mpg?
The Sport gets 150 horsepower from its gasoline engine, and the Sport Touring Hybrid gets 200. Honda’s EPA-certified figures for the 5-door hybrid run 50 city, 45 highway and 48 combined mpg. The 5-door gasoline Civic is rated 30 city, 38 highway and 34 combined on its automatic.
EPA ratings come from testing, not guesswork. Automakers test a representative vehicle over five defined cycles on a dynamometer, and EPA audits manufacturer data and independently confirms a share of the results at its own lab (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2026).
Local driving decides how much those numbers matter. Tulsa city workers age 16 and over have a mean travel time to work of 18.9 minutes (US Census Bureau, 2024).
The verdict follows the figures. A driver who puts mileage first should choose the Sport Touring Hybrid. A driver who wants the lowest price and can live with 150 horsepower should choose the Sport.
How much room does the Civic Hatchback have?
The Civic Hatchback Sport seats five, with 42.3 inches of legroom in row one and 37.4 inches in row two. Its cargo area holds 24.5 cubic feet behind row two, more than the Civic Sedan’s 14.8 cubic feet. The Civic Hatchback Sport Hybrid carries the same 24.5 cubic feet.
Those seating and cargo figures come from Honda’s specifications. The comfort and technology equipment the Sport Touring adds is the part to confirm in person. Ask us to show you the equipment on each trim at South Pointe Honda, 9124 S Memorial Dr, Tulsa, OK 74133, and compare the seats and cabin for yourself.
What warranty covers both Civic Hatchback trims?
Both trims sit under the same Civic warranty, which Honda sets at 3 years or 36,000 miles for basic coverage and 5 years or 60,000 miles for the powertrain (Honda, 2026).
Civic Hatchback Sport and Sport Touring price, mpg and features in one table
Honda’s 2026 figures put the Civic Hatchback Sport at $27,895, with 150 horsepower and 34 mpg combined on the automatic. The Civic Hatchback Sport Touring Hybrid starts at $33,595, with 200 horsepower and 48 mpg combined.
| Trim | Starting MSRP (USD, Honda 2026) | Horsepower (hp) | EPA combined mpg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Civic Hatchback Sport | $27,895 | 150 | 34 |
| Civic Hatchback Sport Touring Hybrid | $33,595 | 200 | 48 |
The higher price of the Sport Touring buys the hybrid powertrain at 200 horsepower, along with the top trim’s equipment. The Sport keeps the lower starting price and the gasoline engine.
When is the Civic Hatchback Sport or Sport Touring the wrong trim for you?
The Sport is the wrong trim for a driver who wants the fuller comfort and technology list that Honda puts on its top hatchback trim. The Sport Touring is the wrong trim for a driver who wants the lowest price and will not use the extras.
If you need more power than the Sport’s 150 horsepower, the Sport Touring Hybrid’s 200 horsepower is the answer. A buyer who wants the hatchback body, the lower starting price and the gasoline engine should stay with the Sport. A buyer who would pay more for mileage and power should look at the Sport Touring Hybrid first.
Questions Tulsa buyers ask about the Civic Hatchback
How much cargo and passenger room does the Civic Hatchback have in each trim?
The Civic Hatchback Sport and the Sport Hybrid both seat five, and each has 24.5 cubic feet of cargo room behind row two. That is more than the Civic Sedan’s 14.8 cubic feet, so the hatchback body carries more gear. Bring the cargo you actually haul to the dealership when you compare trims.
What fuel does the Civic Hatchback Sport Touring require?
Both trims run on regular gasoline. The Sport Touring Hybrid pairs a gasoline engine with its hybrid system, and the Sport’s 150-horsepower engine is gasoline alone. Ask us which powertrain fits your driving before you choose.

In an April 2026 Google review, Dave B. wrote: “If I knew someone in the Tulsa metro who was in the car market, I would steer them toward South Pointe Honda and Ed Smull. Ed is a truly nice person, very low pressure, and I believe genuinely wants you to find the best car for you. We were at another dealership prior to this and asked, why is it we feel so pressured? One of their comments was telling: “we’re begging you not to go to Honda! What can we do to get you not to go?” I think you can do the math on this; I recommend Ed Smull. If they have a car, or can get a car, that is the one you need, I believe Ed is your man.”
