Efficiency Empowered
Make it a Combo
The Civic Hybrid with Integrated Motor Assist IMA® combines the brisk performance of a 1.5-liter, 8-valve, SOHC i-VTEC® engine that has been refined for 2012 with many friction-reducing and airflow improvements with a high-output electric motor. Together this combo generates 110 hp. The Civic Hybrid also features a continuously variable transmission, which is an advanced transmission that substitutes the gears found in more traditional transmissions and replaces them with a metal push-belt running between a pair of variable-width pulleys.
Less Weight, Drives Great
