So far, there are no images of the new environmentally friendly Civic Hybrid, but Honda has lofty goals nonetheless. In the teaser announcement, Honda says that it expects 40% of all new Civic sales will be hybrid models once it hits the shelves, and that’s not actually unrealistic. Customers really like their Honda hybrids, as reportedly over 56% of CR-Vs sold are hybrids.
Honda is slowly transforming its lineup with the upcoming Honda Prologue electric vehicle in 2024. By 2040, it wants to sell only EVs and fuel cell electric vehicles and, by 2050, be entirely carbon neutral as a company. Roxanna Metz, the co-lead of Honda’s Indiana Auto Plant, where the body of the Civic Hybrid Sedan will be made, said, “Our associates are proud to play an important role in the Honda electrification strategy by adding production of the new Civic hybrid to the CR-V hybrid we now build. Sales of Honda hybrid models already represent more than one-quarter of our sales in the U.S. and we are proud to help our customers transition to the electrified future with our ‘made in Indiana’ products.”
