If you are thinking of driving a hybrid vehicle, you probably want to do so for its fuel efficiency, and the 2015 Honda Civic Hybrid offers great numbers in that category. This sedan is just as stylish and feature-filled as the non-hybrid version, but the unique engine means that you can go farther on less fuel, letting you save money while helping the planet.
The Numbers
The 2015 Civic Hybrid runs on a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine working together with an IMA electric motor. This motor also works as the IMA system’s generator during deceleration as well as being a starter. This powerful system, combined with the CVT, lets you get 44 mpg in the city and 47 mpg on the highway in the Civic Hybrid, for an average of 45 mpg combined*. This hybrid also has a rating as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle. For extra power, there is also an electric motor with permanent magnets mounted between your transmission and engine for power assist when necessary. When all of these factors are combined, you can expect 110 horsepower.
Eco Assist
To help drivers take full advantage of the 2015 Civic Hybrid’s efficiency, it also comes with Eco Assist. This tool gives you coaching bars next to the speedometer; when the bars are green, you know you will be getting a better mpg. You can also press the ECON button and maximize efficiency at a given moment, then simply press the button again to return your systems to normal and take advantage of performance.
