sets this Civic apart and lets the world know you care.
After you decide on a model, you
may think you have it all locked up. But wait?there's more. Choices
abound?from lighting to auto-locks to wallpaper. The 2012 Civic Hybrid
makes it fun and easy with the intelligent Multi-Information Display
(i-MID) which sits front and center in the Civic Hybrid's instrument panel.
Photos
Nothing says "me" like the
wallpaper on your computer. Now you can take the same creative liberties
in your Civic Hybrid. Load an image of your pet, your mom, or even one
of your favorite reality show winners. We won't judge.
Info
The new intelligent
Multi-Information Display (i-MID) is your go-to for every important
tidbit of drive-related information. See current song playing, current
mpg?and even turn-by-turn directions if you opt for the available
Navigation system.
Pep Talk
If you drive a hybrid, the kind of info you want most has to do with flow
- as in energy flow. The i-MID delivers with an energy-flow screen
within the display, indicating the balance of power between gas and
electric. The Eco Assist" system helps you learn to drive more
efficiently, rewarding you with your Eco Score at the end of your drive.
Just add cheerleaders.
Bluetooth® Capability
The list of advanced i-MID functions is a long one, including Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®[3] for hands-free phone calls. The system pairs easily with your compatible phone, and is also ready for Bluetooth® Audio, so you can stream your music too.
Crystal Clear
Not only is the i-MID helpful and
customizable, it's pretty, thanks to its high-resolution TFT LCD
display?the same kind of technology found on LCD monitors and the latest
smartphones.
He who drives with the most efficiency, wins.
Push Yourself
The Civic Hybrid now has a quick and easy way to boost your efficiency. Just push the
ECON button[1]. The engine and other power-using systems will then go into super-efficient mode to maximize your mileage.
Coach is Calling
If you're trying to squeeze every mile out of a gallon (and who isn't these days?), keep an eye on the Honda
Eco Assist™ feature. Those blue and green bars on either side of the speedometer indicate your level of efficiency as you drive.
Hybrids Go the Distance
All Civic models have Eco Assist™,
but the Hybrid model makes the most of it by giving you a handy Eco
Guide to help you along the way, and by tabulating your Eco Score at the
end of each drive.
Give Me an MPG
Take advantage of all the
gas-saving technology in a new Civic Hybrid, and you can get an EPA
estimated 44 mpg on the highway. That's money in the tank. And a
neighborly nod to the environment.
Leaves, a Legacy
The Civic Hybrid benefits from all
the innovations since Honda introduced the first gas-electric hybrid to
the American market in 1999. It's all led to this latest milestone: a
next-generation Civic Hybrid available with an impressive AT-PZEV CARB
Emissions Rating.
Efficiency Empowered
Make it a Combo
Less Weight, Drives Great
Weight-saving technologies,
improved aerodynamics and engine modifications result in a new Civic
with some impressive new EPA ratings. The 2012 Civic Hybrid now achieves
an EPA estimated 44 city/44 highway mpg. Plus, increased structural
rigidity makes for more responsive handling.
It's all about choice, but not when it comes to safety: Every Civic features the same full array of safety systems. Standard.
Active Systems: Control
To help keep you on course and away from danger,
Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®)
helps sense oversteer or understeer, and then adjusts brake pressure at
each wheel and/or reduces engine power to help restore driver
control.
Standard
anti-lock brakes (ABS),
with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), help you maintain control
during hard braking. Properly inflated tires are crucial for safe
operation, so the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the driver when pressure in any tire becomes significantly low.
Passive Systems: Protection
The Civic has been engineered to help protect you and your passengers when a frontal collision just cannot be avoided. The
Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle.
Airbags and More
Standard front, front side and side curtain airbags help reduce the likelihood of injuries in a collision.
Top Safety
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has named the 2012 Civic Sedan a "
2011 Top Safety Pick,"
based on more stringent standards implemented in 2010. The Civic Sedan
received top ratings in each category including frontal offset, side
impact, and rear impact crash safety tests and the new roof-strength
test. The Civic Sedan has been named an IIHS Top Safety Pick since 2008.
Honda's Safety Philosophy
Honda is committed to providing
safety for everyone?that means crash protection not only for our own
drivers and passengers, but also for other vehicle occupants, and injury
mitigation for pedestrians. We are dedicated to identifying and
implementing advanced designs and features that help enhance the safety
of vehicles on the road.
The Civic Hybrid has always been one of the cornerstones of our environmental leadership efforts. For 2012, the trend continues.
DNA for MPG
The Civic Hybrid is a
direct descendant of the 1975 Civic CVCC, which was the first vehicle to
pass the emissions requirement of the Clean Air Act of 1970 without
using a catalytic converter. Our hybrid technology has blossomed since
we introduced the first gas-electric hybrid, the Insight, to the U.S.
market in 1999.
How Far We've Come
Today's Civic Hybrid achieves impressive fuel economy (44 hwy mpg), and offers buzz-worthy technology
like Eco Assist and the
ECON button so you have every advantage out on the road.
Along with improved fuel
efficiency, the 2012 Civic Hybrid qualifies as an Advanced Technology
Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV).
