2013 Honda Civic Hybrid

Tweaks to the 2013 Civic Hybrid have made the car better, with a more comfortable ride and a quieter, nicer looking interior. The hybrid's 1.5-liter, four-cylinder gas engine works well with the CVT, and it returned an impressive 40 mpg overall. It can't shut off the engine and drive solely on electric power, like the Toyota Prius does. Instruments are arranged into two tiers, with a high-mounted digital speedometer. The rear seat is roomy, but it doesn't fold because of the location of the battery. Crash-test results are impressive. The 2012 redesigned Civic Hybrid is disappointing, with vague steering, pronounced road noise, and handling that isn't particularly agile. The hybrid's 1.5-liter, four-cylinder gas engine works well with the CVT, and the hybrid returned an impressive 40 mpg overall. Unlike the Toyota Prius, it can't drive solely on electric power. Instruments are arranged into two tiers, with a high-mounted digital speedometer. The interior has generous storage space, but the rear seat does not fold. Standard safety equipment includes ABS, curtain air bags, and electronic stability control. The Civic Hybrid was not produced from 2016 to 2024.
