On March 24, Honda released the official model of the new generation of Civic Hybrid (European Version), that is, the hybrid version of the new Civic Hatchback.
The appearance and interior of the new car remain highly consistent with the fuel version, mainly because the hybrid system has been replaced. The system consists of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor with a maximum power of 135 kW and a peak torque of 315 N·m. This system will provide 4 driving modes: energy saving, normal, sport and custom. The fuel consumption under the WLTP standard is 5L/100km, which is much less than that of many traditional fuel vehicles, and consumers do not have to worry too much about oil prices fluctuating too much.
According to previous revelations, the Dongfeng Honda Civic Hybrid Edition will be launched in August this year, the Civic Hatchback will be launched in October, and the Civic Hatchback Hybrid Edition will be launched in December.
Toyota took the lead in creating a hybrid system and applied for a patent, other car companies are difficult to develop similar hybrid systems, Honda's i-MMD system cleverly bypassed Toyota's patents, becoming a company that is on a par with Toyota in hybrid technology.
However, they are all light hybrid systems, and the battery cannot meet the requirements of pure electric endurance of 50km, so these models cannot be on the mainland's green card, which greatly affects the sales of these models in limited cities. With the continuous improvement of charging infrastructure, other hybrid solutions led by BYD will become more and more popular.
The tenth generation of Civic is worshipped by young people as a god car, and after a simple modification, civic power can be greatly improved. In the powertrain, the eleventh generation Civic has not disappointed, in addition to abandoning the 1.0T engine that is not recognized by the market, the 1.5T engine it is equipped with has done high and low power adjustments, the high-power version has a maximum output of 134Kw, and "seconds and seconds of air" is not a problem.
The Civic Hatchback version of the model has been more popular with European consumers, the addition of the hybrid system makes the vehicle's driving more smooth, gear shifting reduces frustration, plus the eleventh generation of Civic is originally more home-oriented, if placed in the past, its sales will not be too bad. But now the cars have vigorously improved intelligence, Japanese car companies in this regard is a congenital disadvantage, the current car ui is still very old, this kind of car machine is difficult to win the new generation of young people's hearts.
