The Honda Civic should feel more confident during overtaking when the stronger-torque variants are chosen. The listed torque figures include 2025 e:HEV 2.0L RS: 189 N·m; 2025 1.5T RS: 240 N·m; 2025 1.5T V: 240 N·m; 2025 1.5T E: 240 N·m; 2025 e:HEV 2.0L RS: 315 N·m. That matters because overtaking is not just about peak power; a healthy torque output helps the car respond more naturally when you need a quick burst on highways or trunk roads.
