The Civic Hybrid feels just like a normal, responsive Civic, but it's powered by Honda's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid technology system.
IMA combines a 1.3-litre i-VTEC petrol engine with a lightweight, high-output electric motor that assists the engine during acceleration and at higher speeds. Then, when you're braking, decelerating or going downhill, it recharges its own batteries.
