The Honda Civic is one of the most recognisable cars with a longstanding history spanning over 50 years. This year saw the launch of the all-new Honda Civic 2022. The 11th-generation model boasts a sleek, futuristic design that is synonymous with the modern Civic. It has also adopted the full-hybrid approach, showcasing Honda’s e:HEV technology. Continue reading to explore the 4 benefits of the new Honda Civic 2022.
Aesthetics
How does it look? The vehicle features a fresh look that remains instantly recognisable as a Civic. There is an open, spacious feel in the cabin due to the wider windscreen. Honda has also upgraded the front grille with a sporty, honeycomb pattern. This pattern also features throughout the interior’s cabin – a nice touch from Honda.
Comfort & Interior
The Honda Civic 2022 offers electrically adjustable lumbar support for the driver, ensuring comfort for your journey. The driver support features aim to make the driving experience as easy as possible with front and rear parking sensors, and a rear-view camera. The 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system is user-friendly and incorporates a sat-nav system. Honda has kitted out the new Honda Civic to accommodate external devices. Users have the option of wired Android Auto or wireless Apple CarPlay, along with Bluetooth connectivity and two USB ports.
Hybrid Technology
The new Civic has opted for a self-charging, full hybrid system, meaning users do not have to deal with the inconvenience of plugging in their vehicle. This is just one of the many benefits of hybrid vehicles. The Honda Civic 2022 has a specifically developed engine to maximise its hybrid system. The e:HEV system supports a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. The electric motor is the main catalyst that drives the power whilst the petrol engine works in the background to generate electricity. At faster speeds, the petrol engine effortlessly kicks in and powers the wheels. The major benefit of this is CO2 efficiency with emissions as low as 108g/km.
Performance & Drive
The Civic produces 181bhp and can achieve 0-60mph in 6.8 seconds. This level of performance is more than substantial for the majority of Civic drivers. A common concern is that the heavy focus on electrification would make the car a boring drive. Honda has combatted this by increasing the rigidity of the chassis and opting for high levels of grip on the tyres. There is a noticeable balance between the front and rear, which contributes to producing a glide-like feel.
The Honda Civic Hybrid 2022 has combined the benefits of hybrid vehicles with their well-renowned Civic features. Honda has managed to achieve a classic, stylish upgrade on the Civic with particular attention to the driver experience. This 11th-generation model is a major upgrade in the last 50 years of Honda’s Civics.
