2012 Honda Civic Hybrid

The Civic Hybrid lets you make the most of your thoughtful side, whether it’s thinking about fuel consumption or that big beautiful thing called nature. With all the interior amenities of its Sedan cousin, the Civic Hybrid also sports an efficient 1.5-litre, i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine with Integrated Motor Assist IMA® and a lighter Li-ion (lithium-ion) battery that packs more power in a smaller package. It also has combined fuel economy of 4.3 litres per 100 km and an exceptionally clean Tier 2 Bin 3 emission rating. No matter what colour you choose, it’ll have more than a hint of green.

The Civic Hybrid has a fresh new look for 2012. Its stylish aerodynamic design is sporty and efficient, with exterior features like the rear decklid spoiler to reduce drag and improve fuel consumption. The unique design of the front grille also ensures optimal airflow, while the distinctive Hybrid badge shows the world you care.

The Hybrid has toned up to deliver even more punch. It has increased structural rigidity yet weighs in at a lean 1305 kg, helping achieve greater fuel economy and more responsive handling. Isn’t getting more for less what driving a hybrid’s all about?

Press the ECON button and your Civic will automatically adjust the engine and other power-draining systems to go into super-efficient mode. It’s a quick and easy way to maximize your fuel consumption and make being frugal fun.

With the Eco Assist™ feature, driving efficiently becomes a lot like playing a game. The blue and green bars on either side of the speedometer let you keep your eye on how many kilometres you can get out of every litre of gas. Keep it on green and you’ll go farther.

With i-MID, you’ve got all your information about the Civic Hybrid’s fuel economy right in front of you. Monitor the balance of the car’s power between gas and electric with the energy flow indicator. You can also check the Eco Guide to find out your Eco Score, which is based on how efficiently you drive. Just try to beat your high score.

The Hybrid’s 15-inch alloy wheels are unique, and not just because they have a stylish look. The wheels are lightweight and aerodynamic in design, adding to the car’s overall efficient performance and handling. Talk about putting the wheels in motion.

Turn every drive into a more comfortable one with power side mirrors featuring integrated turn indicators. No matter where you are on the road, other drivers will have more notice when you plan to make a turn. It sure beats using hand signals.
