The Enhanced 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid Car
The 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid Has Vastly Improved Over Last Year’s Design
The brand new 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid is currently using a lithium-ion battery and its fuel economy has grown from 41 mpg to 44 mpg. For cars that use gasoline, the Civic Hybrid is actually in second place for fuel economy. This particular improvement in energy economy makes it superior to the Lexus CT 200h. It really is considered the most fuel-efficient sedan on the market today.
The Integrated Motor Assist is the fifth released hybrid powertrain platform that the 2012 Civic Hybrid uses, which is thin, pancake like electronic motor/generator. It only assists the gasoline engine by being integrated between the engine and transmission, making it similar to the hybrid systems from Ford and Toyota. Even though the car can be operated by just electric power, it usually uses a mixture of both electric and gasoline engines. In specific Stansted airport taxi situations, the Honda can run on electronic power only but all of the engine parts still move. When the car halts, the engine shuts off like other hybrids.
