The ingeniously fuel-efficient[1] Civic Hybrid is the picture of performance.

Efficiency Rules
The Honda hybrid technology Integrated Motor Assist IMA® system consists of a super-efficient 1.3-liter, 8-valve i-VTEC® 4-cylinder gasoline engine paired with a lightweight, high-output electric motor, which adds extra power when needed.

Feels Almost Effortless
The Civic Hybrid is outfitted with a smooth continuously variable transmission (CVT), which combines the ease of an automatic with the efficiency of a manual. An idle-stop feature automatically shuts off the hybrid's gasoline engine when you stop, so you help keep the air cleaner while saving on gas.
