New Honda Civic Hybrid hits the market
CARSguide.com.au was lucky enough to get their hands on one of the new Honda Civic Hybrids, pictured left. Most of the details can be read there, but there’s sure to be one thing people will ask when looking at this vehicle: how does it compare with the Toyota Prius? Here’s a quick comparison:
|   | Honda Civic Hybrid | Toyota Prius |
| Fuel consumption | 4.6 L/100km | 4.4 L/100km |
| CO2 emissions | 109 g/km | 106 g/km |
| Power | 85 kW | 57 kW |
| Torque | 170 Nm | 115 Nm |
| Weight | 1265 kg | 1295-1325 kg |
| Price () | $31,990 | $37,400 |
Interesting, no? It might not carry the green “street cred” of the Prius, but if you’re after a medium car that doesn’t waste fuel, gives a bit more satisfaction when you put the pedal down and doesn’t cost as much, the Civic Hybrid might be worth a look.
