Very nice review. I have a 23 Accord EX-L and love it. It's been very reliable and a great gas saver at 45-50 mpg consistently. The new hybrid Civic is a great alternative if you are OK with a smaller car.

[@ZeiglerWheelsUnleashed-pp8ey]

If you hold the regen braking down in Econ mode, it'll actually lock it in place. But also, when you place the vehicle in Sport mode, hold the brake, push the gas pedal all the way in, and the vehicle will actually launch for you, giving you 100% RPMs all the way up until you let off the gas. Then after that, if you do not hit the brakes, it'll stay engaged, and there's only one open CVT motor that's opened up full 100% throttle from zero to top out. It's a pretty amazing car. The Accord hybrid also!

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

Thanks for the drive--it was nice. The Civic hybrid seems to satisfy its sporty-pleasant-economical niche particularly well. I like smooth and quiet, and the hybrid seems exceptionally so for that segment. Stylish, refined, quality--seems like a smart buy. I'd go for the hatchback.

[@sledgedragon2677]

In my Accord, I've actually gotten really used to pulling the regen paddle multiple times to slow down and modulating the accelerator to get a smooth stop. FYI, you can pull and hold the paddle to activate fixed regen braking which lets you keep it at whatever level you set it to, but I prefer the other way. Sport mode simply forces fixed regen.

[@aspecreviews]

13:06 it's HEAVILY iSoC (indicated state-of-charge) and power demand based. When the engine kicked in at 11 mph, you were at 30% iSoC and the power-meter was at %5 and going up. At 50% iSoC and above, the engine-on threshold is 12.5% power (on the gauge.) It linearly drops to 0 power below ~50% iSoC, reaching 0 at 20-25% iSoC. 14:10 shows this behavior. 40% iSoC, power-meter at about 10-11% before the ICE lights.

The CR-V is a great example: here in the US, we only have the choice between the standard ICE, hybrid, and now the fuel cell EV (only available in California, so you could honestly just remove that one from the lineup and it wouldn't affect 95% of the country). If you go over to Europe, you can get a CR-V plug-in hybrid that has panoramic sunroof, rear storage compartment where the battery is, 360 cameras, ventilated seats, heads up display, and probably other features I'm forgetting. NONE of that is available on a CR-V here in North America. I just got a 2025 CR-V hybrid, but I would've loved to get a plug-in hybrid if that were an option.

An integrated infotainment with higher resolution would be nice.It looks cheap and tacked on as is. Question...would a manual shifter work in a hybrid?

[@DJDekgit]

When I was looking between the accord hybrid or sonata hybrid, and how each works. The accord hybrid would drive off the electric motor exclusively, using the motor as a generator until around 45mph. Then the motor had a "clutch" that would allow it to drive the wheels directly in conjunction with the electric motor over that 45mph for 'highway' speed driving. From what you're saying, the civic here exclusively drives the electric motor and the motor only provides power, no connection to the drivetrain. So besides the motor noise, it's a "EV" experience?

[@Danevils]

Do you really need to manually select a more intense option for regen braking* in ECO mode in order to use it?! AFAIK... Hondas will engage regen braking automatically when you press your brake pedal, and unless you put a reasonable force in it (or the car is about to stop) the calipers won't engage!

[@tonymcflattie2450]

10/10, Honda has blended brake pedal. Very smart

[@fwkl]

Actually I was wondering the exact same question. I'm pretty sure it's better for stopping at long-ranges, and sometimes when going down ramps or hills, because it's probably better than applying a strong brake force with strong BUT short regenerative braking, so they probably saw it was better to have a weaker, but LONGER regenerative braking. I don't think Honda has mentioned this but this is what I'm thinking.

[@Danevils]

@@fwkl Whether if it's an electrified or good old gas car, slowly accelerating or decelerating will always be more efficient in the whole of the mechanical components (brakes, suspension, chassis, brake pads, brake rotors, etc). For electrified cars in what's related to regen braking there's a bit more to it. In an electric/hybrid car project there's a limit of power a motor/generator can output/generate (decelerating in this case would generate electricity when using the rotational movement/resistance of the generator axis to generate energy), how much energy the battery (and capacitors maybe?) can input, and how much heat the whole system can take and dissipate. The faster the system regenerates energy the higher the heat output (in the motor, cables, battery), consequently reducing the amount of energy the system can take over a window of time. Braking more gently, along a bigger distance will: 1) Generate less heat in the electric system 2) Dissipate the heat output over a wider time window, allowing the system to store energy more efficiently (less heat being generated means less wasted energy) 3) Allow the motor/generator to do most (if not all) of the braking with its energy generation capacity If the braking needs exceeds the regen braking capacity or what the electrical system is engineered to take in (or some other corner case like the battery already being full?) then the mechanical braking system will be activated!

[@theblitz1687]

​@@Danevils No. If you are talking about what he said in the garage, it only applies to pedal shifters. Your brake pedal will always regen on the first part. What sport does is it remembers what regen intensity you selected previously from pedal shifters and will apply that each time you let off gas. On other modes, if you want to slow with regen from pedal shifters, you will have to select intensity each time you want to slow down.

[@Danevils]

​@@theblitz1687 Yes, you're correct. Still, it won't change much using sport or normal/eco mode for regen, since regen is always used first even when pressing the brakes. The lack of memory for the gas-off regen intensity setting (using the paddle shifters) is totally Honda being dumb IMHO... A more aggressive setting allows the driver to single-pedal-drive more often, which is more efficient!

Is it just me or does this Bose system in Civic seem to sound better than in Porsche 911?

[@haydenarter7505]

Nice to see the drivers are bad all over not just where I live.

This is incredible. I hope this makes acura make the integra better. Like maybe offering a 10-speed instead of a junk cvt. And making the type s even better. Or even imagine if they put a detunes civic Si engine in an integra and added the 10-speed. So it’s like a 10th gen accord in a smaller more agile package 🤯. There’s no reason they shouldn’t do that. But they won’t.

It isn't a cvt, it is just marketed as such since the operation sounds like one. That is the only similarity. The hybrids use, as stated in the video, a direct drive transmission coupled with an electric motor. Up to about 62mph, the electric motor moves the wheels while the gas engine turns a generator providing electricity for the electric motor. Over that speed, the gas engine gets coupled to the direct drive at a different ratio via clutch to drive the wheels alongside the electric motor. This system is super simple in its operation and should be one of the more reliable drivetrain options on the market alongside the Toyota hybrid options. As long as the electric motor and generator hold up that is.

@@taco111taco I understand. I still wish it had a regular automatic

​@@taco111tacobrushless motors are indestructible. They will easily last the life of the car, there are 25-year-old Priuses out there with 300K miles that are still on their original transmissions.

The most logical thing to do with the Integra is to give it the same hybrid powertrain

[@theredsalmon612]

10speed isn’t much better than a CVT

[@NCLme]

Now 🤔 I can See #honda finally giving the Si more power in the hybrid power Si coming soon 😅 maybe 🤔 next Gen

[@lanceeeee1]

the only thing holding me back is the repair costs for a hybrid. Try finding a mechanic who'll work on your hybrid car without charging you an arm an a leg but to be honest that's not honda's fault

[@apdroidgeek1737]

Wym? Im getting hybrid cuz i thought theyre cheaper to fix. I have 2009 honda civic hybrid and my mechanic told me that its a good thing mine is a hybrid cuz it wouldve cost more to fix my engine if its not a hybrid.

In America: Hey what are my car color options? Good news! Gray gray silver another lighter silver and gray! Oh that's awesome! So exciting! I think this says something about where people are at these days.

[@apdroidgeek1737]

Im getting the dark blue one but im thinking of getting the gray ones. The dark blue one kinda look cheap.

[@AwesomeEricD]

Look at that giant, spacious parking spot

[@tenka__]

you can hold down the paddle to lock in the regen setting, unfortunately it will be reset when you shut off the car.

[@EmptyHavok]

I'm really curious if the drive modes really work as expected. In my 2016 civic ex, the econ mode actually decreased my fuel economy
