New 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid

If you’re looking for off the charts fuel economy and minimal carbon dioxide emissions at a reasonable price, then you’re going to love the 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid.

The Civic Hybrid has the second best overall fuel economy of any new car. The Civic Hybrid gets 40 MPG in the city (second only to the Toyota Prius) and 45 MPG on the highway (tied for first with the Prius) and an astonishing 42 MPG combined. Not only will you be able to drive for weeks on only one tank of gas, but you can have peace of mind knowing that you are emitting a paltry 4.4 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. There is no denying that if you drove a Civic Hybrid not only would you would save money on gas and be less dependant on gasoline, but you would have a positive impact on our environment. Add the remarkable fuel efficiency to Honda’s reputation of durability and you can’t go wrong.

The Civic Hybrid uses Integrated Motor Assist, which couples a 1.3-liter, 93-horsepower, i-VTEC 4-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor. The electric motor can power the Civic Hybrid up to 35 mph and when working with the gas engine, can produce 110-horsepower. 

When it comes to technology, the Civic Hybrid answers the call. A Satellite-Linked Navigation System with voice recognition and Bluetooth connectivity are optional.  A 160-watt CD/MP3 six speaker audio system with a USB interface lets you manage all of your digital media, including your iPod®, comes standard.   Seating up to five, the Civic Hybrid offers optional leather interior and an all-new six-sided grille and front bumper giving a sleek and refined touch.

Safety features abound in the Civic Hybrid. Side curtain airbags and dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags, antilock brakes, active front head restraints all come standard. Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control helps the driver keep control if side slippage is detected so that you can keep your intended course with the greatest of ease.

When it comes to paying less for fuel, while using less fuel and keeping your carbon footprint as small as possible, the 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid makes almost too much sense.
