"The 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid has been fully redesigned. Highlights include mild styling updates, improved fuel economy and more power for the Si model. The all-new 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid remains a strong contender in the compact car category.
To Honda's credit, the changes to the new Civic are welcome. In terms of features, stability control is now standard throughout the model lineup. Fuel efficiency and power are improved for the Civic Hybrid model. Other upgrades for 2012 include more interior room (3 inches of additional shoulder room up front and another 1.6 inches of rear legroom), and a few new technology features such as a 5-inch information display, the increased availability of iPod connectivity and an economy mode designed to help deliver maximum mpg.
The Civic Hybrid sedan is available in two trim levels. The base model's list of standard features is similar to the mainstream EX sedan, with the addition of 15-inch alloy wheels and low-rolling-resistance tires, outside mirrors with built-in turn signals, LED taillights, a rear spoiler and a 160-watt, six-speaker stereo. The top-of-the-line "Leather" trim level adds extras found on the regular EX-L including heated mirrors, leather upholstery and heated front seats.
The Civic Hybrid gets a larger 1.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine and a more powerful electric motor for 2012, a combination that's good for 110 hp and 127 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is standard.
This is still one of the better-driving cars in its class. The 2012 Honda Civic is still a fun car to drive."
