The 2017 Honda Civic's curb weight varies by trim and body style, but you can expect roughly 2,800 to 3,100 pounds (about 1,270–1,410 kg) in typical US configurations. Sedans tend to be lighter than hatchbacks, and the turbocharged engine option adds weight relative to the base setup.
Weight by body style
These ranges reflect common curb weights for many US-spec Civics in 2017, illustrating how the sedan and hatchback layouts influence overall mass.
- Sedan: roughly 2,800–3,000 pounds (1,270–1,360 kg).
- Hatchback: roughly 2,900–3,100 pounds (1,315–1,405 kg).
These figures cover typical configurations featuring either the 2.0-liter engine or the 1.5-liter turbo, with either a manual or CVT transmission.
Weight by trim and powertrain
To illustrate how trim and drivetrain affect curb weight, here are representative ranges for common setups. Exact weights vary with options and market.
- 2.0-liter engine with manual or CVT in base LX/EX: about 2,800–2,950 pounds (1,270–1,335 kg).
- 1.5-liter turbo engine with CVT in higher trims (EX/EX-L/Touring): about 2,900–3,100 pounds (1,315–1,410 kg).
Remember that added features such as leather seating, sunroofs, larger wheels, or a spare tire kit can nudge the weight up a bit.
What drives weight differences
Several factors determine a specific 2017 Civic’s curb weight beyond trim level, including engine choice, transmission type, body style, and optional equipment.
Engine and transmission
The base 2.0-liter engine generally weighs less than the turbocharged 1.5-liter, while a manual transmission can be slightly lighter than a CVT. The combination chosen for a given model year will influence the final curb weight.
- 2.0L vs 1.5L turbo adds or reduces weight depending on cooling and ancillary components.
- CVT vs manual transmission contributes modest weight differences.
Other options—such as leather, advanced audio systems, or panoramic sunroofs—also contribute modestly to overall mass.
Summary
The 2017 Honda Civic typically weighs between 2,800 and 3,100 pounds, with sedans on the lighter end and hatchbacks toward the heavier side. For a precise figure, check the specific vehicle’s curb weight sticker or Honda’s official documentation for the exact trim and options you’re considering.
