Performance
With our countless technological innovations and legendary, race-inspired engines, Honda has always roared ahead of the curve.
Integrated Motor Assist IMA®
Talk about the perfect blend of power
and efficiency. At the heart of the Civic Hybrid is the sophisticated
Integrated Motor Assist IMA® System. IMA pairs a 1.5-liter, i-VTEC®
4-cylinder gasoline engine with an electric motor. Although the engine
alone provides sufficient driving performance, when additional power is
required, a permanent-magnet electric motor mounted between the engine
and transmission provides power assist. Under certain conditions, the
electric motor can propel the car on its own. Together, the motor and
engine produce 110 hp @ 5500 rpm.

1.5-liter, SOHC i-VTEC® engine
The 1.5-liter, single overhead camshaft, aluminum-alloy i-VTEC®
4-cylinder engine uses state-of-the-art engineering technology to
produce impressive power, yet it still helps the Civic Hybrid obtain
excellent fuel efficiency ratings[1] and an Advanced Technology Partial
Zero-Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV) rating[2], all on regular gasoline.
Electric Motor
The IMA electric motor works in
conjunction with the gasoline engine and supplies additional torque in
assist mode. The motor's ultra-thin design allows it to be mounted
between the engine and the transmission. The motor also functions as the
generator for the IMA system during deceleration and as a starter,
quickly spinning the engine up to idle speed.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
Every Civic Hybrid is equipped with a
continuously variable transmission (CVT). Similar to an automatic
transmission, CVT is an advanced transmission that substitutes the gears
found in more traditional transmissions and replaces them with a metal
push-belt running between a pair of variable-width pulleys. Combined
with the Drive-by-Wire throttle system, the CVT constantly adjusts to
provide the most efficient drive ratio possible depending on torque
load. Honda CVTs provide better fuel efficiency[1] and acceleration when
compared to a conventional transmission.
Drive-by-Wire Throttle System
The Drive-By-Wire throttle system
helps enhance the driving character of the Civic Hybrid. With smart
electronics connecting the throttle pedal to the throttle butterfly
valve in the intake manifold, the engine response can be optimized to
suit the driving conditions and to better match the driver's
expectations.
