Overview
The 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid sedan fares well in the compact sedan segment. Adding $8,245 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the Honda Civic hybrid carries a base price of MSRP of $24,200 and is offered in one trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 1.5L Inline-4 engine supported by a 144-volt electric system. Mated to a CVT, it makes 110 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 31 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 44 MPG on the hybrid variant, making the increase in sticker price worth it. The performance of the Honda Civic hybrid remains at par with the gasoline variant, with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 10.1 seconds. Honda offers the same 3 colors for the Honda Civic hybrid. The Honda Civic mainly competes against the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid. One can also upsize and go against the Kia Optima Hybrid and the Toyota Camry Hybrid from the midsize sedan segment.
