The Civic Sport generally does not include leather seats; it comes with cloth upholstery. Leather seating is typically available on higher trims such as EX-L and Touring.
The Civic Sport is positioned as a sportier, value-focused variant, prioritizing performance styling and features over premium interior materials. This article outlines the current upholstery distribution across the Civic lineup and explains where leather seating is available, with notes on regional differences and model-year variations.
Upholstery by trim (latest model years)
Leather seating is typically reserved for higher trims; the Sport trim is standard with cloth seating. Always verify the exact materials on the specific vehicle you’re considering, as options can vary by year and region.
- Sport: Cloth upholstery (sport cloth materials)
- EX-L: Leather-trim seats (or leather-wrapped seating surfaces in many markets)
- Touring: Leather-trim seats
For shoppers who want leather, aim for EX-L or Touring. If you’re set on the Sport trim, you’ll likely enjoy cloth upholstery unless a market-specific option or dealer-installed upgrade is offered.
Regional variations and model-year notes
Interior materials can differ by country, and even within the same country across different model years. Always check the official Honda build sheet, the showroom specification, or the vehicle’s window sticker for the exact upholstery details on your region and year. Some markets may provide leatherette or partial leather options on trims that are otherwise cloth-only in others, but leather seats are not the standard for the Civic Sport in the commonly sold U.S. lineup.
Summary
In short, the Honda Civic Sport usually does not come with leather seats. Leather seating is typically available on higher-end trims such as EX-L and Touring. Always confirm the exact materials for your year and region with a dealership or the official Honda specification sheet before purchasing.
