A Honda Civic Hybrid is Coming in 2024
1.25.2023
A hybrid model of the Honda Civic has been confirmed, expected to arrive in 2024. The future model was acknowledged in a press release published by Honda, detailing some of the brand’s future electrification strategies. In particular, they cited a continued increase in hybrid sales, including the new Civic hybrid in 2024-- to be available as either a sedan or hatchback. Now, a hybrid-powered 11th-gen Civic isn’t an all-new thing as Honda rolled out the European Civic e:HEV in 2022. It’s powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four cylinder engine, paired up to two electric motors fed by a lithium-ion battery. Total system output is 135kW and 315 Nm of torque-- that’s 181 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque for us Yankees. Chances are that the e:HEV mirrors or comes close to what we’ll inevitably see here in the states as Honda marches towards a hybrid sales volume of 50 percent for models like the Accord and CR-V Hybrid. The brand intends to use hybrid sales as a stepping stone towards their future fully-electric vehicles, like the 2024 Prologue.Honda Civic e:HEV (European model shown)
