Honda civic hybrid 2011 The 2011 Honda Civic Tour celebrates the return of blink-182, the band that started it all
Honda Civic is a compact car that is luxurious interiors, exciting to drive, stylish and sophisticated technology. Honda Siel Cars India (HSCI) has launched the sedan in India in 2006 and is the eighth generation Civic. Model has been frequently raised in September 2009 and recently re-launched a special variant, with additional features of the system, cruise control, steering wheel, rear window sunshade, and more. Honda Civic is the entry level D-segment sedan, which competes with Skoda Laura, the Chevrolet Cruze, Skoda Octavia and Toyota Corolla. 2011 Honda Civic is available in versions for petrol and hybrid versions. Petrol version has three different versions - 1.8 S MT, 1.8 MT and 1.8 V, V hybrid version comes with a 1.3 engine, L is a continuously variable transmission. Petrol version also comes with Inspire and Elegance models.
Range of the seventh generation Honda Civic was expanded to include the new 2011 Honda Civic Hybrid. The Civic range was updated in October 2000, and the model range has been simplified to include two body styles, sedan and hatch, with two levels of specification, GLI and Vi. The Civic Hybrid is available in sedan, and is similar in specifications to the GLI sedan. The suggested retail price is $ 29 990. Conventional 1.7-liter engine Honda Civic GLi Auto sells $ 26 950.
there has been one benchmark when it comes to automotive fuel efficiency: the Toyota Prius. Its reputation is so strong, in fact, that Toyota decided to create an entire family of Prius vehicles, beginning this year with the Prius V.
Since 1999, Honda has been producing its own line of hybrids. Its first, the Insight, was a fuel economy champ itself. But no Honda hybrid since has been able to match the Prius. That may change with the new 2012 Civic Hybrid, which is closer than ever to becoming "Honda's Prius."
To find out how Honda's latest stacks up against Toyota, we devised a two-day, two-route, 550-mile test to challenge the two fuel economy all-stars. One route covered the city streets to approximate a week's worth of commuting; the other was an all-highway blast to replicate a road trip. We filled up both cars for each route at the same pump, at the same gas station. Can the Prius hold onto its top spot as the reining fuel economy champ?
Toyota uses a pair of electric motors, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to join them, mounted to the 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. This system allows the Prius to use several combinations of electric and/or gasoline power—including an all-electric mode. There's even an EV switch that locks the Prius in battery mode until the range of the 6.5 amp hour nickel-metal hydride pack is used up. Toyota delivers a total system horsepower of 134.
Honda's system, meanwhile, is very similar to the last Civic Hybrid and the current Insight. The electric motor sits in between the CVT and the gasoline engine. So, unlike the Prius, the gas engine in the Civic must always turn—when in electric cruise mode, the gas engine essentially freewheels. The Civic's four cylinder has grown to 1.5-liters from 1.3-liters. And when combined with the new, more powerful 23 hp electric motor, it delivers 110 system horsepower. But the big news is the lighter and more powerful 4.5 amp hour lithium-ion battery pack (still mounted behind the rear seats).
The Prius can become expensive quickly as you add options like the self-parking system. It's not uncommon to see a fully loaded Prius sticker for close to $35,000. The new Civic Hybrid doesn't offer these options, so it is generally much less expensive. We opted to test a $24,369 Toyota Prius 2 model against a $27,500 Civic Hybrid Nav model.
The EPA rates the Prius at 51mpg city and 48 mpg on the highway, while the 2012 Civic Hybrid is rated at 44 mpg for both city and highway. But how do they handle real world testing?

The 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid ranks 27 out of 34 Affordable Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 13 published reviews and test drives of the Honda Civic Hybrid, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
While reviewers are impressed with the 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid’s improved fuel economy ratings, they are disappointed with its bland interior and predictable exterior.
In reviews for 2012 Honda Civic models with gasoline-only powertrains, there’s a common thread: Test drivers say the Honda Civic is a good car, but it’s struggling to keep up with competitors that offer nicer interiors, more options and lower base prices. These statements are also true for the Honda Civic Hybrid, but on the bright side, the Civic Hybrid does come with more standard features. For about $24,000, shoppers get Bluetooth, power windows and doors, a tilt and telescopic steering wheel and an AM/FM radio with a CD player and USB connection.
In preliminary EPA tests, Honda also reports that the Civic Hybrid’s fuel economy has increased to 44/44 mpg city/highway, up from the 2011 model’s 40/43 mpg city/highway. These ratings are good, but they come with a high price tag. $24,050 can be lot for an affordable small car, but this price tag is typical of entry level hybrids. The Toyota Prius, for example, starts at about $23,000 and gets 51/48 mpg city/highway – more than any hybrid on the market.
If you are set on a Civic Hybrid, you may be disappointed when you sit inside. Interior space has increased, but despite these adjustments, reviewers say the Civic Hybrid looks a lot like the outgoing model. It even seems cheap and bland compared to less expensive cars like the Hyundai Elantra and the Chevrolet Cruze.
Despite its faults, the automotive press finds that the Civic Hybrid is a good commuter car, but its high price, bland interior, and in some cases, lower fuel economy ratings make the competition more attractive. The "Civic is a solid, laudable update of a classy compact, undercut by missing features, road noises, hybrid shudders and strained-feeling gas engine," writes USA TODAY.
Following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, car shoppers may find that there are a limited number of Civic Hybrid models available. That’s because the Honda Civic Hybrid is produced in Japan. The industry is expected to recover this fall, and experts suggest waiting until then to buy. You’ll be more likely to get the car you want at a good price.
There aren’t many affordable small hybrids that compete with the 2012 Civic Hybrid. If you’re after something super fuel efficient, try the Toyota Prius. It’s a midsize car, but costs about $23,000, which is about $1,000 less than the Civic Hybrid. It also has much higher EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 51/48 mpg city/highway.
For a hybrid with better performance, try the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. It makes 166 horsepower, 56 more than the Honda Civic Hybrid. In addition to being more powerful, the Sonata Hybrid is classified as a midsize sedan, which means it has more interior space than the Civic Hybrid.
If you don’t want a hybrid because performance is bland, but don’t want a Prius or Sonata Hybrid because they’re too big, consider the Volkswagen Golf TDI. This two- or four-door hatchback runs on clean diesel fuel. The two-door model starts at about $23,300, and the four-door model starts at about $24,000. According to the EPA, both models get 30/42 mpg city/highway with either a manual or automatic transmission.
