Honda Markets Another Hybrid Vehicle that Approaches Clean Car Standard

CLEAN CAR CAMPAIGN UPDATE

Honda is now selling a gas-electric hybrid version of its popular Civic through dealerships across the country. Read on to learn about this vehicle and how you can register to win one!

The Model Year 2003 Hybrid Civic performs well against our Clean Car Standard (CCC Backgrounder), achieving 49 miles per gallon (combined city and highway driving) and meeting the ultra-low emitting vehicle tailpipe standard. That is more than 1-1/2 times the average fuel economy for compact cars, with tailpipe emissions that meet the cleanest current national rating.

This car also performs very well on the road and is outfitted with "top-of-the-line" features such as automatic climate control and a higher quality interior. Hybrids run on conventional fuel and never need to be plugged in, and the Hybrid Civic can travel over 600 miles on a tank. It costs $19,550 with a manual transmission, or $20,550 with an automatic transmission.

This is the first time that a car meeting these environmental performance criteria has been available as an optional version of an already popular vehicle line. Honda plans to sell 2,000 Hybrid Civics per month, and Toyota will soon increase Prius sales to nearly 1,500 per month. For more information, see Links and More Information.
