CO2 is by far the most common and damaging emission created by petrol and diesel engines. That’s why the Civic Hybrid supplied by DriveSpringfield is a more enviormentally friendly car, because the combination of electric motor and petrol engine delivers low CO2 emissions of 109g/km. The Civic Hybrid is one of the most advanced forms of technology you can find in contemporary car design. The thinking behind it however is very simple, with the car receiving its power from two main sources: a petrol engine, and electric motor. The engine itself is a 1.4 i-DSI engine which is coupled to a 3-phase high torque electric motor and continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). CVT adjusts the drive ratio in extremely fine increments, and delivers the absolute optimum ratio to keep the engine in its most efficient power range. Working in complete harmony, each element combines to deliver the performance and torque of a conventional 1.6 litre car, but the fuel consumption and emissions of something much cleaner and greener.
The idea is simple. Put all essential controls and information directly in front of the driver, making controlling the car easier, safer and more engaging. The multi-information display consists of two zones. On the upper zone you’ll find indications of speed and fuel levels. The lower zone contains the IMA display and the multifunction driver computer, showing fuel consumption and the outside temperature.
When people think about hybrids they usually think ‘alternative’. Not ‘luxurious’ or ‘spacious.’ But with the Civic Hybrid,you’ll fi nd high quality fabric as standard and heated front seats with lumbar support. There’s also an option for full leather upholstery. Innovative design has also allowed the storage capacity to be increased signifi cantly. There’s a large glove box, cup and bottle holders. By changing the shape of the battery pack behind the rear seats, Honda have created extra room in the boot too – 350 litres of space, enough for four sets of golf clubs.
WILL I NEED TO RECHARGE THE BATTERY?
The IMA battery unit automatically charges itself when the car is slowing, travelling downhill or braking and all without you knowing a thing. So you’ll fi nd there’s no need to plug your car in to charge at the end of the day. There is an override in the system that means you will always have at least 20% power in the battery.
IF I RUN OUT OF PETROL, CAN I JUST RUN ON THE ELECTRIC BATTERY?
No, you will always need to have fuel in the car, as the car only runs on electric when it is cruising at low speeds.
ARE THERE ANY HIDDEN BENEFITS TO THE CIVIC HYBRID?
In addition to saving you fuel and being one of the world’s most economical cars, its low emissions of 109g/km place it in VED band B, which means only £15 annual tax and you are also exempt from the London Congestion Charge.

"For the second year in a row, Britain's best green car is the Civic Hybrid. And its credentials are impeccable. Honda's petrol-electric suburban shuttle returns 60 miles to every gallon, emits 109kg/km of Co2, and will do 115mph. Buyers are exempt from London's Congestion Charge, pay GBP40 annual road tax and enjoy the heady feeling of doing their bit for the environment." - Sunday Mirror |

"Incredibly quiet with a compliant ride, super light steering and minimal road/wind noise. It is an exceptionally refined and relaxing driving experience." - Fleet Management |

"It's as green as they come: it does 58mpg, has just about the lowest CO2 emissions of any car on sale and can even duck the London congestion charge... to drive, it is remarkably like any 'normal' car." - Car Buyer |
