Posts Tagged ‘Honda Civic Hybrid’

The 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid is largely unchanged after a modest freshening for 2009. This gas/electric hybrid compact car comes as a 4-door sedan. It combines a 1.3-liter gas engine and an electric motor for 110 horsepower. The Hybrid can run on one or both of its power sources.

Most of the time, however, the gas engine shuts off at a stop and restarts again when the driver releases his or her foot from the brake pedal. It requires no plug-in charging. The sole transmission is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that behaves much like an automatic.

Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, and front-side airbags. A navigation system with voice activation and a wireless cell-phone link are available.
