Honda Civic Hybrid 2009





The advanced Civic Hybrid, with its exceptional fuel efficiency and incredibly low emissions, is as much a friend of the environment as it is fun to drive. The future is here. And it's actually more powerful and luxurious than you would think.

As Canada's most affordable Hybrid, the Civic Hybrid features all the stylish interior amenities and comfortable luxuries of its cousin the Civic Sedan, from a 6-speaker, 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with MP3/WMA capability to steering wheel-mounted controls and automatic climate control, power windows, mirrors and door locks.

But best of all there's the luxury of knowing the Civic Hybrid is a low-emission vehicle with a Tier 2 Bin 2 rating that delivers maximum fuel efficiency using a compact 1.3-litre, i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine with the added boost of the self-sufficient Integrated Motor Assist IMA® system. Translation: Doing your part to save the planet has never been easier — or more exhilarating. The IMA™ System adds extra power when you need it, and under certain cruising conditions the IMA System can take over entirely, allowing the vehicle to run on the electric motor alone. What's more, the Civic Hybrid is equipped with a smooth continuously variable transmission (CVT), which blends the ease of an automatic with the efficiency of a manual, increasing torque capacity with lower friction.

And with an easy-to-read instrument panel featuring a trip computer and the IMA display, you can see how the system is working, and how far you can go. Plus, a self-contained, self-sufficient onboard battery recharges itself using kinetic energy created during slowing or braking — and there's no plug to worry about.

The 2009 Civic Hybrid is pure power.
