2005 Hybrid Preview
The first mainstream vehicle to be offered as a hybrid, the Civic Hybrid did not seem to fare well at first - why spend more when the standard mpg is already so good - but has since picked up some speed. Indeed, the only drawback to the Civic Hybrid is speed, as in it just doesn't go that fast. But then, Civics out of the box really were intended to be great commuting vessels.
Kelley Blue Book - Reviews - Gas Mileage Champs
Honda seems to be the fuel mileage champ with four vehicles in this section. The Civic Hybrid uses a combination gas engine and electric motor to fulfill its power requirements. Unlike the Prius, the Civics gas engine is always engaged and receives a boost in the form of pure torque from the electric motor when the driver demands more power. Everything else about the Civic Hybrid is pretty much the same as the Civic sedan its built from. To accommodate the readouts for the electric motor, the standard white-on-black analog gauges have been replaced with a combination analog and digital readout backlit in a cool blue light. While acceleration is nothing to write home about, the Civic Hybrid can keep up and merge with highway traffic, though you will find you have to downshift frequently to pass or accelerate.
