Honda promises that the all-new 2012 Civic will be much better than the current model. While they may look similar, the 2012 model share very little in common with the existing Civic.
The Honda Civic is perhaps best known for offering competitive fuel economy. And, that tradition will undoubtedly continue as Honda is introducing two new high-mileage Civics. The first is the Civic HF, which is the most fuel-efficient gasoline-only powered Civic in the lineup. Powering the HF is a 1.8-liter i-VTEC engine which should help it achieve 41 miles per gallon on the highway.
Strong fuel economy is also assured with the Civic Hybrid. For 2012, the Civic Hybrid will be outfitted for the first time with a lithium-ion battery and a larger 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine. Honda estimates that the Hybrid model will get even better fuel economy than its predecessor, with an EPA-estimated city/highway combined fuel economy of 45 mpg.
“The Civic is the only model in the industry that can deliver on all fronts – fuel economy, sporty performance, smart packaging, alternative fuel and long-term value,” said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda Motor Co.,Inc. “For the ninth-generation Civic, we are emphasizing improved fuel economy across the board, from the hybrid sedan to the sporty Si model.”
