Overview

The 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid Sedan fares well in the compact sedan segment. Adding $5,395 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the Civic Hybrid hybrid carries a base price of MSRP $24,360 and is offered in 2 trims, reaching a price of MSRP $27,060 for its top trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 1.5L inline-4 engine supported by a hybrid system. Mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission, it makes 110 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 32 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 Civic hybrid remains at par with the gasoline variant, with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 11.3 seconds. Honda offers the same 6 colors for the Civic hybrid. The Civic Hybrid mainly competes against the Toyota Prius Hatchback while for a similar price you could also get larger sedans like the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, or the Ford Fusion Hybrid.

Buying Advice

The 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid Sedan is an impressively efficient sedan available in two trim levels. We recommend getting the higher-end Leather trim that comes with a better feature set over the base trim. It comes loaded with features including automatic headlights, heated mirrors, leather upholstery, and heated front seats.
