One look and you can tell this is a new breed of Civic. With the Civic Hybrid, you get an amazing, reliable car that is also the most affordable hybrid in Canada.
The Hybrid's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system pairs a super-efficient 1.3-litre gasoline engine with a lightweight, high-output electric motor that delivers an estimated highway fuel consumption of only 4.3 L/100 km. How is this possible?
At steady speeds below 60 km/h, on level roads and under light throttle, fuel injection can cease and the car can be propelled solely by the IMA system's electric motor. At higher cruising speeds, the gasoline engine provides the power. A marvel of low-friction engineering, it provides plenty of horsepower while still sipping fuel and having a near-zero effect on air quality.
Besides its stylish exterior redesign, the Civic Hybrid has also been reinvented on the inside to provide more comfort and more standard amenities, including a revolutionary new two-tier instrument display panel. It also comes with an automatic climate control system featuring air filtration to create the perfect atmosphere inside.
