Honda is so confident in the new Honda Civic e:HEV that it's calling the car "the driver's hybrid". That sounds like a contradiction in terms, right? Not so, according to our Mark. It's brilliant. A Toyota Corolla slayer. Watch the review to find out why...

Thanks Mark for going the extra to have the e-CVT in this fully described/explained. So many people just hear CVT and assume it will be as crap as the worst CVT’s they’ve ever driven and immediately write the car off.
Still better than DSG tho
Honda could just not out the eCvt in the "name"
If they bring a hybrid Civic hatch to the US, I'd buy it in a heartbeat! I can't think of anything else I'd want!
Agreed! I’ve been eyeing a Rav4, but a hybrid Civic Hatch might change my mind…
Same. Although after dealers get their hands on them, it will probably be around the same price as a Type R's msrp
This is a really well thought out car. Not as in your face as the previous model and now looks very smart. I would have one over any German brand as it will be more reliable, better built and engineered. Every time I watch one of your videos you seem to have grown a bit taller. Maybe last week you could have sat comfortably in the Honda. 😁
Love your work Mark! Excellent review.
What? It looks so much better than the old one! Thanks for this interesting and entertaining video.
Great review
You’ve just got to love Honda,alway look beyond convenient and so subtle in design,just brilliant
Best review! Cheeky, but good with proper though “bewinked” info on interior and blandness.
I actually like the functional and boring but well built well thought through character of the car. This is a literal daily driver for years, nu fuss, no bs. Boring on the outside, happy in your wallet and always ready for adventure, the ones you do yourself by going places. With a car that constantly says yes!
Interesting to hear that you think it looks a bit bland and you preferred the look of the old model (which I own). Most reviewers did not like the old one with "all its fake vents" and prefer the new smoothed version. Proves you can't please all the people all of the time. I like both. Thanks for a good review.
I was going to get a 2022 Insight in the US but now I think I'll wait for the 2023 Civic Hybrid that's coming to replace it. One of the biggest gripes reviewers have had with the Insight's hybrid set up is the engine not being linear with vehicle speed and acceleration. This Civic sounds quieter and more "normal".
Great review - hit all the important points! Steering feel & ride comfort are both good, only the noise insulation needs some improvement -- maybe during facelift?
Belting review as per 👍 quite like that, be good to see one in the metal
wow. YOUR REVIEW is the only one ive seen that explains what eCVT is in detail. everyone else is basic
Thanks mate. When an engineer is there, you have to, right? 🤘🏻😁 Mark.
Excellent review and road test. I've had my 10 gen Turbo for five years and still love it. We have recently bought the new Jazz eHEV which uses the same hybrid system and its incredible, love the transmission in the way it replicates gear changes, we're getting around 3.9 litres per 100km mixed driving. In terms of styling, yes they've toned it down somewhat but I love the geneneral stance and proportions, the bonnet line in particular. That considered, I'll be taking a closer look at this when it arrives in New Zealand.
It may different in your country. In Canada, this car doesn’t come in a hybrid, only the same engine options as the 10th so maybe not worth trading in yet. Edit: we will get hybrid for 2023 model year.
@@abfree5501 Since when does Canada have the new Jazz/Fit?
Brilliant review . I’m sure the toned down styling will appeal to my generation who loved the Accord Mk 1 back in the seventies. A car which was truly revolutionary !
Looks like the 1st european Civic review! Doin’ great Mark & Vanarama!
Great review, can’t wait to get to a test drive!
Wearing a hat at this time of the year in Spain. You are a brave man no doubt 😂👍🏼
Best new civic video,lots and lots of information,great job 👍
Great review.. I'd say your reviews have 'matured', much like the Civic
Great review! This sure seems like one of the best cars ever made. May be picking one up later this year! I wish you had the engineers talk about the new 2.0, apparently it’s the most efficient 4 cylinder ever!
Bet it's not as efficient as my 2.0L e skyactiv x, I get 50mpg on shorter drives and well over 60mpg on any half decent run and yes I did say 2 litre petrol engine. test drive one before you make your mind up you will be very impressed also the interior quality from Mazda is better than a Honda.
@@pillred5974 i have a Mazda 6 right now and have tested a Mazda 3 and i have to agree that the interior is more luxurious but more cramped with smaller windows. But in Europe there is very harsh rules against ICE engines unfortunately. I consider this civic because its a hybrid. I do love me a Mazda!
I didn't mind the 10th Gen civic except the rear was a bit fussy in the bumper area.. This 11th gen looks neat though some may find it bland from the side.. But that rear headroom is a concern even without the sunroof..
Very good review! How tall are you?
I sure hope they get this in the US. I was going to order a 23 Sport Touring Hatch, but if this is available I'm switching to it!
Honda's are always brilliantly engineered. I know this through experience. Loving the sleek fastback look of this latest model.
Brilliant review man thank you
So mate which model are you driving please thanks
Excellent review, love this vehicle can’t wait until is goes on sale in North America.
Is this coming to the States? I want one
My current e-CVT Honda Jazz has been using this 'gearbox' for the past year. It really such a pleasant drive for the every-day person and mine offers fuel economy of 55mpg
The Civic Hybrid is coming to America where I live. IMO, the only way that Honda could disappoint me with the hybrid is if they don't give us a hatchback hybrid or if the hypothetical hatch hybrid has less options than the hypothetical sedan hybrid.
I got to test drive the advance trim level here in Sweden a couple of weeks ago. And it was really, really good. Fels like a bigger car than it is. Ordered the advance trim and it should arrive in november. Can’t wait!!
Looks like a winner to me. I've been thinking about the Jazz Hybrid, but this is obviously better.
Sorry for my poor english, i just want to say : i have bought my Honda Jazz eHEV last year and after 9 800km my average is 3,6l/100km. This eHEV technology is just amazing. I precise that before i have always drove japanese cars. 2 Nissan Micra : a one liter Micra Lagoon, then a 1,3 liter Micra Tivoli and just before the Jazz a Toyota Avensis 126d4d. Now i know, i will stay a Honda driver. In France the garantee is for 10 year. I don't know the word for "valable".
@@KRISPHIL68 Meanwhile, I have been a user of the CR-V Hybrid for 2 years, which in terms of power and torque has exactly the same system as the new Civic and it is great. The calculated average fuel consumption for 2 years is 5.3l / 100km, and the car is much heavier and less streamlined. One Honda, only Honda.
@@sunnylukk yep, I'm on my third Honda, and they've all been faultless.
I had the same dilemma. But if you try one and then the other there's no competition. Unless you need to drive only inside a city, Civic is a lot better and versatile car.
@@albertomartin4812 Agree, Alberto. I like the size and solidity of the Civic. It's a genuinely quality car IMHO.
In Thailand you can buy a petrol only 1.5L turbo version. The HEV is the same 2.0L version you have.
Will this come to the US?
It's so sad we don't have this version in the States!
I like the ‘plainer’ design. I owned a 2017 1.5 model and it had too much bling and tacky plastic false vents on the outside, also it wasn’t very well built both outside and inside.
What is the mpg ?
Can I manually turn of the fake engine noise?
I really hope they bring this to the US. So cool!
I have Gen 10th with similar 2.0L engine and 6MT. It's very competent for weekend track days and return same consumption for regular country highway driving. For next Type-R, it'd be cool if all the weight saving techniques were used to complement the NA engine... side effect, it'll get Hybrid like consumption and last forever with low curb weight. A formula that'll still be affordable for track-days in decades to come.
So how much HP does this car have. Is it more powerful then the 1.5 ?
I like your review. And your shirt.
tests with vbox, racelogic etc. show this car’s 0-100km/h speed is actually around 7 seconds dead, this is fairly typical of Japanese manufacturers to understate horsepower and acceleration figures. One thing, Honda cut weight out of some parts but it’s over 100kg heavier than the 10th gen 1.5 turbo, this will be due to the added motors and battery
So true about the fuel economy. My Seat Leon gives 50-55mpg - and that’s a 4 cylinder turbo.
Like the way my 10th Gen drives and styling,though twin spoilers were considered radical ,so agree looks bland compared . No height adjustment on passenger side I believe could be a deal breaker with a sub 5’ wife.
Can i buy it in SUV version?
I wish we had the pano roof here in the states
How tall are you? Is the room in the front enough even with the panoramic sunroof for a 6.3-193cm? The problem is that you can t get the up per trim without it.
I’m 6’4” and it absolutely fine up front, sunroof and everything. 👍
It looks much better and more exciting in that Baby Blue colour👍😁
Wish we would get the pano roof here in the US
Got mine yesterday and its amazing.
Great review Mark! Tricky question: civic or 308 phev?
Thanks Andrew. Not tricky...Civic every day of the week. Mark.
@@vanaramauk thanks!
@@vanaramauk update: I just ordered the civic, you are right!
Two test drives of this Civic, I've ordered one. Things which will surprise you, it is very quick off the line, I have a 280bhp 4x4 and this Civic's instant torque easily matches it up to 30mph, it is brilliant for driving in cities. I got 66 mpg driving normally across a city. If you first get in one you may get poor mpg because the battery needs to charge, once you have charge in the battery after braking etc you will get very good mpg. The tech is brilliant, wireless charging and Apple Carplay is very useful. The steering is awesome for a family car, you will love it.
We better not get the shafted version here in the states. For instance, I see rear air vents. Very useful in the hellish climate of Texas. So far I've not seen them in any reviews on US spec cars.
Civic owner for 14 years, currently a 10th gen Sport Plus for the last 5 years, which I love and cost £23k new. Whilst there's a few added specs and improved mpg, there's zero chance I'll be buying this version, which is boring to look at and ridiculously expensive. Great review though, thanks!
All full hybrids are expensive.
Well that may be the last one you will ever have. The next Civic is probably only going to be EV. The new Emission regulations is changing car manufacturers, necessitating electrification on majority of their models. The only ICE models like type R are going to be very expensive.
@@debendragurung3033 I completely agree, and I am open to an electric car in the future - potentially a Civic. But, I'm sadly not a fan of this version's looks or price. Hopefully the price of electric models will reduce in the coming years as they become more mass produced.
Ok, it’s a hybrid. But when is it electric and when combustion and why? What does it pick when I go at 110km/h for 400 km?
Designwise i clearly prefer the 10th gen. But the technical aspects of 11 seems pretty convincing.
I want Honda to have a small car from the civic 2008 design. That design was so slick, the civic just keeps getting bigger, is it even a hatchback anymore?
Nice. But behind competition by 2 - 3 years? Needs to be plug-in already. Clarity is ugly and not even available here, outside USA.
I imported the US version since my work paid for the fees. Should have gone with the e:HEV.
Great car but I agree why did the go boring when they usually go a bit over the top styling wise. Somewhere In the middle would of been perfect ‘Honda’
Best review on this car mark I thin k I will be buying one 😂😂😂
Better than the one currently offered in the US!
Got the current honda civic sport great car paid 21k 2018 they now want 30k for the same hybrid only car they are having a laugh new car prices are crazy.
Hybrids in general are more expensive, they have lithium ion batteries and motors with alot of copper which is expensive, the fact that this drives great despite being a hybrid is impressive
Not to mention inflation and how much car parts and batteries got expensive.
In Italy they charge the new civic from 38k euros
Why don’t new cars have Cam Corders as standard!?
Good review but I’ve never seen a tester that doesn’t say how tall they are when sitting in the back of any car. And if I may say so Sir - you seem fairly lanky 😂
Finalyyyyy someone from Honda has explained that bullshit of e-CVT in any Honda car, also e:HEV models. There is no transmission period.
How tall you are? To take a reference 😅, I’m 1,96 m. Thanks.
Feels like having “scared the horses” with the previous gen design they have over compensated with this, both inside and out - All a bit vanilla, and as for the floating display, well very last year …
The vw. Jetta just looks leaps and bounds better
Nice review. Bit boring car design. But nice technology.
Seems like a good upgrade. I'm currently in the 10th gen. Still a great car.
I do agree with the styling though, I think they had to many complaints of it being overstyled so now they gone one too far..I blame those people shouting to loudly.
Great review.
Thanks for the review, this looks like a definite option. The only two things I'd say is that 5.5l/100km doesn't sound any better than I got from a 1.5 Octavia on the commute to work and worse than a Focus 1.0 at 5.3, oh and a lot worse than the Golf diesel I had for a week which got around 4.4.
Of course I don't know how you(d been driving it but it just doesn't sound ground breaking.
I'd also say those extra litres of boot space get noticed most (for me anyway) at holiday time....
Out of curiosity, if I take the Octavia, the economy will generally go as well as 4.2 if I'm on a long run and driving at 65-70mph but it takes it a while to work down to that. I was wondering if that's the same for a hybrid like this or is it the opposite on a long journey as the battery gradually just becomes some weight your carrying around?
Do you understand the concept of a turbo?
@@ln5747 Yes, it uses exhaust gases to turn a turbine which is then used to compress air being fed into the engine. These days you get bi-turbos, twin scroll and even electrically assisted ones and of course inter-coolers to cool the air but I'm sure you'll find a fuller description on a wiki page if you want to know more.
you can constantly floor a hybrid and still get around 5l, try that with a normal ICE car
@@mattgreen9507 well then you should understand why you're foolishly comparing a NA 2.0 to a 1.5 and 1.0 on fuel efficiency.
Well Diesel is pretty much finished now. Despite it being more powerful, manufactures have to pay huge tax on any diesel production vehicles. Furthermore lots of countries are cracking down to phase out Diesels by bringing strict regulations on emissions, enforcing new No Diesel Zones in crowded cities , bringing out various mandatory addons like DPF filters- which severely reduces power. Unless it's for big commercial vehicles , no manufacturers are willing to bait on diesel. And for cars it is pretty much nonexistent. You can boast about fuel economy of the old diesel cars, but it's not manufacturers fault that they can no longer sustain production of diesel cars.
You don't realise but lots of manufacturers had to cancel export of certain models since the new emission regulations. Lots of their SUVs and pickups that were inherently Diesel for the high torque have all been but replaced with petrol counterparts.
The Petrol Hybrids still have some place in the market as of now, before all cars will go Electric. So unless you can afford an EV, petrol Hybrids are the one we can all but settle for.
I didn't like the spaceship design of the older Civics. This looks beautiful.
It's a lot better looking than the previous version of the Civic, and the Hybrid system is great, but I'm not a fan of fake gear changes. They should have a way to switch that off.
Could've put the motor from the new CRV in this Civic and it would've actually been quick. I think the crv makes 207hp and 240tq out of a 2.0L hybrid system...
that s my only one concern with this car, is it quick enough?!
Surprised you never even had the blind back on the panoramic roof, it makes the interior much lighter did you know it was there and opens as well? as you never mentioned it. You also said it doesn't feel fast, well it does to me and a 0 to 60 time of under 7 seconds (carwow and others) would suggest it actually is, an entertaining review though.
I hate the terminology CVT for this drivetrain, it makes no sense. The transmission of torque is continuously variable in all cars... by the change in engine RPM. "Continuously variable" in CVT refers to gear ratio, not transmission of torque, as that would make no sense since many other factors go into the transmission of torque that have nothing to do with the CVT transmission. It would be like saying a full battery EV has a CVT because the transmission of torque from the battery is to the wheels is "continuously variable".
I have a 2019 Honda Insight, which has the previous generation of this drivetrain and many people complain that the engine drones uphill or accelerating which it does to generate more power for the battery and drive motor, and they are kind of right about the drone, it's not always the most satisfying sound. That said, I'd feel like such a tool knowing that my car's engine is just revving down for no reason other than to make me feel "cool" while losing power and efficiency. Honestly does a 2 litre engine shifting up and down sound that good anyways?
Wonder if it's better to drive than a 118i...
Wait, so it's the same old Honda 1-speed hybrid set up, where the car is mostly just an EV, with engine there to generate electricity as needed, PLUS a clutch to connect the engine to the output shaft at low-load, high-speed conditions (e.g. highway driving). If so, then the only change is software tuning to align the engine rev to speed better.
I mean, if you really wanted a good gas mileage (hybrid) with actual direct engine-to-speed connection, you can always get a Hyundai/Kia hybrid setup with actual dual-clutch transmission, but you lose the simpler mechanics of more common hybrids.
As for Civic in general, the one I really want is the 2.0L Hatchback with manual transmission, because, no turbo, no direct injection, and of course, manual transmission.
I really wish we had this in the states. Everything is about gas or electric. The Honda Hatchback here is only gasoline. It's disgusting especially with gas prices at an all time high.
The Civic Hybrid is coming, we just aren’t sure on timing or details,, yet.
You should be in England! Our petrol prices are currently $8.45 a gallon!
I’ve got 2019 mk10 sport 180 bhp and and it cost £19,500 (after haggling) new, I just can’t afford 30k for a family hatchback.
Blame it on Brexit!
Interior lady gen Audi A3 - exterior design far nicer than a golf. Definitely a contender for clad best with the Octavia
Last*
Will it come as an estate?? That would be thing do buy..
no
A good Honda at last but the price & styling are awful 😢 I remember buying a civic for £10k
+ know longer made in the uk !
This is 2022 mate not 1992. You pay for full hybrid tech.
The side view of the Civic looks weird. The first half looks like it was part of another car, all lean and sedany. While the section from the middle of the car to the rear of the car looks like a handsome sports back. If Honda raised the front half of the boot , to make it look thicker from the sides (like the new CRV) this Civic would have looked more striking in my opinion.
Could make a nice estate 🤔
They have made the rear styling look more resolved, the previous model rear end is ugly.
All very nice but the price !!!
There will be a time where we won’t need simulated ICE car NVH anymore. Once you get used to a EV drivetrains, you don’t want to go back.
Seems crazy to me the amount of effort manufacturers go to to try to convince people they're driving an ancient, inefficient transmission vehicle instead of the engineering miracle it actually is.
I think it will be a good idea to state the height of the person seated.
6’4” 😁
A minute after midnight, just like wot u said
Looks like a really interesting car but you lost me at the price. Totally ridiculous for this class of car. Great review as always though.
If you look at the average prices on the market, and you think this car is really interesting, I don't see the problem. To be honest I just bought it, so I spent that amount of money in this kind of car, but I couldn't be happier, I feel and know I have a very reliable, long lasting, safe, fun, frugal and beautiful car on my hands.
Pretty car. Wtf? No head room in back? Why would honda choose that design?
Nice hat Steve Zissou
LOL.
The back of the civic is so 1990..... Amber turn signals?? I am ready to get some smoke spray paint.... Just as the nineties.
We can only hope that by the next model year they delete the honeycomb dust collector in the dash.
Sounds like they should have put this engine in the HRV as well,a bit pricey
We got the similar engine in HRV and honda city as well. Asia market.
It shouldn't but it's a very exciting car by just being normal and very good at it!
Hi, how tall are you?
Tnx
6ft 4 😄
@@vanaramauk roughly same.. 192cm on my side
