I've had mine since October. Advance Model. All I can say it is probably the best car you can buy for the money. It drives superb, handles corners very well, comfortable, brilliant tech, super sound system, spacious and family friendly. btw is 184BHP not 160 as you mentioned. I get 425 miles to a full tank (40ltr tank). Mostly in EV mode when doing local runs, but stays on EV upto 60mph. Anything above that it will be combination of EV and engine or just engine. But the whole change over is unnoticable - superb engineering from Honda. I dont notice any lag when placing foot on the throttle. It just goes! In sports mode the car dumps the battery power to the motor much faster for that super fast pickup. If anyone is on the fence for this Civic- dont be. You wont get any car that is even close for its price/spec/reliability.
@TotallyEV Жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing. The kW figure is correct, sourced from Honda's site. 186 is the max Nm of torque available from the engine on its own, while the electric motor combines to provide 315nm as stated in the video. However, you're correct, with the hp figure incorrectly converted, which should be 181hp (135 kW)

I've had mine (Sports trim) in Gibraltar for 13 months and covered 44500km. Excellent fuel economy and the best I've got out of a tank is 896.1km on 38.32L, with 2 longer trips at an average of 90km/h due to speed limits. The trip was mostly flat with the odd steep incline and decline. Still catches me out when I boot it in sports mode and leaves me with a smile on my face. Average fuel economy is 4.4L/100km or around 60mpg, with my best being 66mpg. I can drive home (some steep downhills) which is around 4km in EV mode alone.

Saw this review and so arranged a test drive, ordered one in Sport trim at the end of the test drive, I was that impressed! The Advance trim is great, BUT I 'm not fussed about leather seats, don't really need a sunroof of any description ,so that meant c £3k more for a BOSE stereo system in effect - hence Sport trim won.

@TotallyEV Жыл бұрын
From Honda UK: So in Normal or Econ modes, the brake regen will reset to normal when you press on the accelerator. This is to enable more efficient coasting which maximises mpg. In Sport mode, the regen mode doesn’t reset so if you set it to maximum, it will stay there. This is to maximise the energy recovery as to ensure the batteries have as much charge as possible, for a sportier drive.

@TotallyEV in sports mode it saves the regen setting. I own one. I also find the regen quite strong....it has 5 settings and comfortably allows for one pedal driving at urban speeds. As for "kickdown"......it has no gearbox so that's a misleading term. The throttle map does change between modes.....in sport the response is absolutely instant, like a typical ev. If you don't need that torque you can select eco or normal mode for a more sedate drive. Also there is Android auto wireless....the settings are available with a quick search on KZfaq.

The Civic is available with a regular non-hybrid 2.0L N/A engine as well, so the Corolla isn't simpler. The Corolla is probably slightly more reliable, but we're talking about the difference between best and second best, probably shouldn't be the deciding factor for most people.
@alanplayford Жыл бұрын
Hmmm, Honda have always been the name for reliability? Once I had an Accord, then a Civic - and have stuck with them ever since. bsolutely no Honda Civic problems at all, just the usual battery fails etc.

Trying to decide between Civic hybrid Advance vs Tesla model 3. Test driven both and both have their own advantages. Im based in Ireland. Any help is appreciated.
@TotallyEV Жыл бұрын
Guess it would all come down to if you can make the Tesla work for your lifestyle (ie charging infrastructure and/or home charging, plus distance you usually cover).

@@TotallyEV id usually do short trips. Have access to charging infrastructure. What to do in this case. Im sooooo split between the two. Can u help which one has a longer life and resale value?
@TotallyEV Жыл бұрын
Not sure about longevity of either, but given what you've mentioned - the Tesla would be our recommendation. Will be cheaper to run and offer an exhilarating driving experience when you put your foot down!

Hello, would you choose a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y over this Civic Hybrid purely on driving enjoyment? And out of the Model 3 and Model Y which one do you prefer more? Thanks.
@TotallyEV 9 ай бұрын
In terms of driving dynamics only, the Honda would be the better pick. Between the Model 3 vs Y, the Model 3 is more engaging to drive. Hope that helps?

@@TotallyEV Thank you, that was very helpful and also pleasantly surprised to know that the Civic Hybrid is the pick of the bunch considering just how quick the Teslas are.

I get about 420 miles per tank on my 2016 10th Gen Civic Touring, so I don’t see the advantage to going to a Hybrid version… Am I missing something??

Are you referring to the total range you can do in one single journey?

@@TotallyEV No, I get about 420 miles of range in mixed driving over multiple trips in my local metro area. If I go all highway and on a single trip I can stretch it out to about 440 miles.

But that's also down to the fuel tank capacity, which is likely reduced in the hybrid vs a pure ICE model

Top of my ' Next Car ' List, but most certainly a used 2022 one given the price of a new one now takes it into the UK's Luxury car tax brand. That will mean a yearly tax invoice of over £500 per year.......... for 5 years !! That is just a total rip off, not a chance. Good review though, not wanting a full EV so this fits the bill.
