The first thing that stands out is its total softness in urban traffic: the electric motor is responsible for boosting the vehicle from scratch, without noise or vibrations. The ECVT change is barely perceived, and the passage of the electric mode to the hybrid (when the 2.0 engine enters to generate energy) is imperceptible. Fluidly and without intervention, the system chooses the most efficient combination for each type of route.
En route, the transition to the gasoline engine is felt by gaining speed, but even then the car maintains a silent walk. Likewise, the power and consumption in the walk of the vehicle go hand in hand. It can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in about 8.6 seconds, and its consumption in the city is just 2 to 3l/100km, while on the route around 5L/100km, which translates into an autonomy of more than 800km with the standard tank. Efficiency values above average and according to the electrification by which Honda opted.
The skeleton of Civic It feels firm and well balanced: the direction is precise, the body leans very little and the suspensions effectively absorb the imperfections of the Argentine streets, all without losing agility. In addition, regenerative brakes recover good energy without generating a feeling of “butt” butt.
The package Honda sensing It is another novelty of the new model: adaptive cruise control and lane maintenance assistance work in harmony and relieve tiredness on long trips. In addition, the camera and parking sensors facilitate maneuvers in the city.
In short, the Honda Civic Advanced Hybrid He delivers a modern, efficient and comfortable handling experience. It is a vehicle that combines the softness of the electric, the presence of the naphtero when it is needed, solid autonomy, and the safety of assisted technology (without requiring plugs at any time).
