How Can I Transport Bikes With My New 2025 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid?

Question

Question:

Hello, I have a 2025 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid. I have been looking into adding a hitch to it for a bike rack, but it appears Honda has added an extra piece of metal behind the crash bar that does not allow a trailer hitch to fit the vehicle. I have seen photos of someone who cut into their car to make a notch for the hitch to fit, but Im not big on cutting into the car and voiding warranties. I was wondering if you have any information on the challenge of fitting a hitch to this vehicle. Thank you so much for any information you can provide. Artemas Mott

Hello Artemas,

Congrats on the new ride! Both of the hitches that we offer for the 2025 Honda are not intended for the Hyrbid Model, so neither of them are going to work. I do have a different a option for you to transport your bike, just as long as your Civic is the sedan and NOT the hatchback the Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style # TH910XT. This bike rack can carry 2 bikes, I have attached a review video for you to check out. I really hope this can work for you!

Happy New Year! May 2025 be your best year yet! From, your friends here at etrailer.

Hey Artemas, how did the Thule Passage trunk bike rack end up working on your Civic? Your update could make it easier for others trying to carry bikes without adding a hitch.

It is very disappointing to learn that the 2025 Honda civic hybrid hatchback cannot be fitted with installation of a hitch. Is there any update information on this. The potential customer above was specifically asking about this but the answer did not address this dilemma.

@Polly I am still showing that the hitches available are not intended for the Hybrid model. This could be because the Hybrid version is not rated to have a hitch installed, which can happen since not all vehicles are rated for towing or hitch accessories. A lot of people are looking for hitches these days for bike racks, which is why I mentioned the trunk mounted option as another way to carry bikes, trying to give him a different option that would hopefully help with his dilemma. What were you hoping to use the hitch for? I would be happy to look into other options like a roof rack if that would work for you. If you were hoping to tow a trailer with your hatchback hybrid, unfortunately I would not have another option available.

Hey Josh. There are no trunk mounted bike racks that fit a 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback. I recommend using a hitch mounted one like item #HR200Z, which has a 45 lbs capacity per bike. To attach this to your Civic you'll want to install the Curt…

Hey Patrick, yes the Saris Bones 3 EX trunk rack part #SA803 does fit your 2024 Honda Civic Touring. There isn't specific instructions on hatch huggers but yeah on the top and sides would work great. If nothing else just the top.
