Think you know the Civic Hybrid? Think again.
Hybrid owners are known for their smart thinking; now the all-new 2006 Civic Hybrid comes with even smarter styling to match. All that sizzle still earns an Advanced Technology Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV) rating, so you can save on gas while enjoying amenities like the new multi-tiered instrument panel, a sophisticated audio system, and available navigation system. Front, side and side curtain airbags help the future look even brighter. With all that going on, it's time to start thinking about the Civic Hybrid in a whole new way.

For three decades, Honda has played a leading role in meeting the environmental challenge. Our approach has always focused on those vehicle and fuel options we believe have the greatest real-world potential. The goal is not engineering prizes or newspaper headlines. The goal is to make environmentally friendlier products that our customers want to buy because the products are easy to own and fun to drive.

The All-New Civic Hybrid: Reduce, Reuse, Re-Style
Consider the tree. And the flower and the sun. Honda does. We are extremely proud of our environmental legacy, from the development of fuel-saving technologies to involvement in local efforts such as the California Coastal Cleanup and Franklin Park Conservatory.

Directly descended from the CVCC Civic, which was the first car to pass the Clean Air Act emissions requirement without a catalyst, the all-new 2006 Civic Hybrid wows with a futuristic shape and updated features. Today's Civic Hybrid represents the very latest in our commitment to positive environmental change.

You'll feel the benefits of the refined gasoline-electric powertrain on the Civic Hybrid right there in your wallet at fill-up time. And at 49 mpg, you won't have to stop again for quite a while if you're driving in the city. We all benefit from the Advanced Technology Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV) rating, which is the most stringent emissions standard achieved by a gasoline-powered vehicle in the U.S. And mile after mile, you get to enjoy the thoroughly modern style, comfort and convenience of a Honda Civic. The more things stay the same, the more things change—for the better.

The engine is mated to a powerful DC electric motor that's less than 2.5' wide. Power for the motor is stored in an 8'-thick battery pack behind the rear seat, which leaves plenty of room in the trunk. And you can be sure of a long battery life since it comes with an 8-year/80,000-mile limited warranty

The latest-generation Civic Hybrid is packed with leading-edge safety technology. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure spreads out the crash energy in impacts with vehicles of differing sizes. All four doors feature side-impact beams designed to help prevent intrusion into the passenger space. And other features such as 3-point seat belts in all seats, anti-lock brakes and Daytime Running Lights (DRL) help ensure your safety while on the road. Plus, the Civic Hybrid has standard safety features such as side curtain airbags and dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags (SRS), which are only optional on competitors.
