Honda's new Civic is hybrid-only in Europe - goes on sale in autumn 2022
Welcome to the 11th generation Honda Civic. And before you make any judgements, be kind – it's turning 50 years old this year. In line with its milestone birthday, the Civic gets a new hybrid powertrain , a redesigned cabin and a *marketing voice* comprehensive suite of advanced safety features offered as standard. But first, a word on the looks...
Meanwhile, the multimedia software is powered by a faster processor and uses the same menu system as the Honda Jazz. Having tried this previously, it's a much better package than what you got in the outgoing Civic which could often frustrate with its slow responses and clunky menus. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also come as standard, adding to the functionality.
Honda's also keen to point out the Civic's suite of advanced safety features and driver aids. Included is a new 100-degree front wide-view camera and enhanced recognition tech to improve the car's ability to identify pedestrians, road lines and motorcycles. Sonar sensors also feature for the first time, while other systems ¬– such as Blind Spot Information and Traffic Jam Assist – have been improved.Chances are it will.
Also new is the 2.0-litre e:HEV powertrain featuring two electric motors and, you've guessed it, a CVT gearbox. Honda's fascination with the unusual fixed-gear transmission continues with the latest Civic, yet this time it feels like a more obvious choice due to the hybrid element. Although there's no dedicated electric range, Honda promises increased all-round efficiency thanks to the electric assistance.
What also stands out are the outputs – 181bhp and 258lb ft of torque. The latter being just 37lb ft short of the FK8 Civic Type R. No confirmed 0-62mph figures yet, but expect the regular Civic to be punchier than many rivals. There's also four drive modes to choose from, with a new individual mode allowing various settings to be customised to the driver's liking.
