If you don’t want Type R performance or the simple driving pleasure of a manual transmission, this is the best all-rounder of the new Civic lineup.
, which is a half-second quicker to 60 mph than the Honda and betters its EPA fuel economy numbers across the board.
Simply put, the hybrid powertrain doesn't have to work as hard in the Civic as it does in the CR-V, though surprisingly, there's not a huge difference in terms of performance over the CR-V Hybrid. Honda quotes a 0-62 mph acceleration time of between 7.8 seconds and 8.1 seconds for the Civic e:HEV hatch depending on equipment levels, which is right around the SUV's numbers.
For context, the CR-V Hybrid's official EPA city/highway/combined fuel economy numbers are 40/34/38 mpg. The Honda hybrid system's operational parameters—the internal combustion engine directly drives the front wheels only at high speeds—means the powertrain delivers its best efficiency in lower speed urban environments and stop-start traffic. It's the inverse of a traditional ICE setup, but entirely logical for a car designed to spend most of its working life in cities and suburbs.
