About Honda Civic Hybrid
The Civic Hybrid has a well-crafted interior. Navigation is included with Bluetooth, but when it was first introduced, some automotive journalists complained that the navigation system appeared dated. Furthermore, the 2011 Civic Hybrid did not fare well in federal government crash tests.
Another of the Civic Hybrid’s strong points is its class-leading fuel economy ratings of 40/43 mpg city/highway. Choosing the Civic Hybrid for its fuel efficiency necessitates some performance sacrifices. Many car reviewers complained that the Civic Hybrid’s 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motor are slow to accelerate and that its brakes are grabby, but these complaints are common among hybrid vehicles.
The Civic Hybrid’s passenger and trunk space were also criticized, which is common for small hybrids. Most adults will be comfortable in the front seats, according to car reviewers, but tall passengers will be cramped in the back. The Civic Hybrid loses some cargo space when compared to the gas-only 2011 Civic sedan to make room for the hybrid system’s battery.
The 2011 Honda Civic was named the Best Compact Car for the Money and Best Compact Car for Families by U.S. News for being an all-around good value. As a result, the 2011 Civic’s high-quality interior and class-leading fuel economy make it an excellent choice among 2011 small cars. You’ll get fewer miles per gallon if you choose the gas-only 2011 Honda Civic, but the Civic’s fuel economy ratings are still good for a non-hybrid. Furthermore, you should be able to find the non-hybrid Civic at a lower price, which may offset the hybrid’s fuel savings. The base gasoline-only Civic has more trunk space but fewer standard interior features.
