Honda launched the 11th generation of the Civic in Europe last month. The car features the company’s e:HEV hybrid technology — now the standard drivetrain for Civic lineup. Honda said it uses a new 72-cell lithium-ion battery that is mated to two electric motors which work in conjunction with a new 2.0-liter direct-injection, Atkinson-cycle internal combustion engine (ICE).
The next-generation Civic e:HEV also features a 35mm longer wheelbase, which would put it into similar territory as the current Honda Insight. This new model has a brand new tailgate made of resin, a first for the Honda Civic line. Using new manufacturing techniques, Honda says it has managed to trim 20% off the weight of the tailgate, making it easier to open and close.
