Civic RS e-HEV [Genting Hill Climb] | YS Khong Driving.

[@AK-pr6bq]

Nice drive! You're the first car reviewer on KZbin that explained the EHEV power train correctly. Almost everyone else keeps saying incorrectly that the EHEV had a CVT gearbox.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thanks! 👍

[@scott8919]

Other reviewers don't make the distinction between a conventional belt driven CVT and other systems like here that effectively do the same thing (continuously vary the ratio/power flow to suit the needs of the driver). Technically the term is correct, even if it can seem misleading.

[@AlrienJ]

@@scott8919 It's not even technically correct. The car is driven by an electric motor, the gear ratio is not changing like in a Toyota hybrid where the engine actually powers the wheels with a variable gear ratio. They should have called it something unique, like "EVT" for "Electric Vehicle Transmission" since it is effectively using an EV powertrain to deliver power generated by a 2.0 liter engine

Hi , been wanting to ask your opinion . In terms of handling comfort and interior class , Does this surpass the Mazda 3 ?

It is more powerful, and handles well. It is hard to compare the two, but I would say they are very close. I like the Mazda 3 too.

[@christiansenrobert8106]

@@YSKhongDriving - thank you for the reply . I’m a huge fan of your KZbin channel ! Amazing stuff . I totally love your presentation style and the format of your reviews ! Well done . Technically in terms of looks I put the Mazda 3 slightly ahead of the civic FE . The rear pattern of the civic doesn’t sit well to my liking . A little bit laid back looking . But yes ! I agree that this is quite a close call overall . I’m going for the Mazda 3 mainly because there are not many on the road - and I love the feel and outlook of the interior . Paint quality is also better on the Mazda . Handling close but I prefer the Mazda ride . I like the civic’s dashboard and the civic surely has better power marginally to the Mazda . Civic also has better cabin space . Especially the rear. The mazda3 ‘s weakness to me = could be slightly more powerful . Rear seats could offer slightly better leg room and head space . Sports rims could be better in design . Period .

Uncle Khong do you recommend this over a Tesla Model 3?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Definitely more affordable. No need to charge; but if you want EV, then it is a different story. Each car has its good points - just depends on what appeals to you. For EV adopters the T3 seems a good place to start choosing, but if you are an ICE person wantinga bit of a crossover effect, then the Civic ehev is a good choice.

[@meouby2]

So the gasoline is to power the engine to charge the electric motor. The petrol engine does not engage on the drive?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Only when the car is cruising at high speed. Do listen to my explanation in the video

The engine function as an overdrive gear ratio or highest gear on the car so it consumes very little fuel and low load on the engine.

[@londonb11]

Hi Uncle I'm curious, whether there will be an engine drag when it need to charge the battery when the battery is very low?

[@YSKhongDriving]

No drag, because unlike a conventional hybrid, the engine disconnects anytime that the motor drives the car. The charge motor is another motor that is not connected to the drive system at all. Sometimes at low speeds, you can hear rhe engine rev go up by itself because it is charging up the battery automatically.

For eHev cannot run engine mode only. Parallel hybrid can. This is serial type. Engine as generator.

[@athlonium]

@@jasonlimkh9332 Hybrids that use a series drivetrain only receive mechanical power from the electric motor, which is run by either a battery or a gasoline-powered generator. In hybrids with parallel drivetrains, the electric motor and internal combustion engine can provide mechanical power simultaneously. Series/parallel drivetrains enable the engine and electric motor to provide power independently or in conjunction with one another.
