Honda's eleventh generation Civic family hatch embraces full-Hybrid tech. Jonathan Crouch looks at the updated version.

Ten Second Review

This eleventh generation Honda Civic switched to e:HEV full-Hybrid power and adopted a lower-key look - which has been slightly sharpened in this updated form. As before, this car is slightly larger than its direct family hatch rivals and delivers everything its brand knows about petrol/electric technology. Which turns out to be quite a lot.

Background

The Honda Civic, one of the global motor industry's most enduring model lines, has moved on. These days, it's no longer built in Swindon. And with this eleventh generation, it switched away from a conventional engine, instead adopting a 2.0-litre e:HEV full-Hybrid petrol powerplant. There's been a return to the more mature styling of earlier generation Civic designs too; today this liftback 5-door hatch design has a more conservative, but still sophisticated look, particularly in this updated form. It's all created a car that really needs to be factored into your thinking if you're in the market for a full-Hybrid family hatch.

Driving Experience

Nothing about the powertrain's changed with this updated Civic e:HEV. Which means it remains a curious confection: an EV - but not an EV. There's certainly an engine - a 2.0-litre normally aspirated petrol unit - but its main role is to generate energy for a little 1.05kWh lithium-ion battery that drives two electric motors. Power output is rated at 184PS, with 315Nm of torque. Unlike Toyota or Hyundai full-Hybrids, this one has no gearbox between the powertrain and the wheels. Instead, the e:HEV system itself shifts seamlessly between 'EV', 'Hybrid' and 'Engine' drive phases, which aren't driver-selectable but built into the way the powertrain works. 'EV' drive propels you from start off and at low speeds and 'Hybrid' drive cuts in when extra acceleration is called for. Only at steady high speeds does 'Engine' drive kick in, but that happens only briefly because as you approach top speed and the required drive energy becomes higher again, the system switches back into the 'Hybrid' phase to re-unleash the full output of the electric motors. Honda promotes this as a 'driver's Hybrid', based around the fact that a lot of the stuff you can't see was engineered around the high performance needs of the (sadly now discontinued) 'FL5'-series generation Civic Type R hot hatch. This Hybrid Civic is of course a very different kettle of fish but it's still decently rapid, making 62mph in around eight seconds if you engage 'Sport', the most urgent of the three provided drive modes. You might want to as well because unlike other Honda e:HEV models we've tried, this one actually responds to your right foot, instead of merely considering your request with infuriating slowness, as is the case with brand's Hybrid SUVs. Thanks to a stiff chassis, a wide rear track and Honda's effective 'Agile Handling Assist' torque vectoring system, it goes round corners with surprising agility and we've appreciated Honda's tuning efforts with the quite feelsome steering rack. Of greater interest to this car's likely more mature clientele is the fact that ride quality from the passive dampers, though a touch on the firm side, is broadly excellent over all surfaces. And it's important to note is that highway refinement is also difficult to better in the segment.

Design and Build

A few subtle exterior changes have been made to this updated model. Every Civic grade now features a redesigned, more assertive front upper and lower grille, highlighted in black gloss and finished with a new grille and headlight garnish. The sculpted front bumper incorporates bolder character lines and a new body colour lower bumper spoiler. There are new 18-inch two-tone, diamond cut alloy wheels in grey for Advance grade and black in Sport grade models, alongside the high black gloss finish of the door garnish. In addition, all grades no longer have front fog lights; to further streamline the design, these are now built into the improved LED headlight technology. Otherwise, the fastback-style sloping silhouette is as before. Inside, this updated model feels a little more premium, thanks to new black trim for the roof and pillars, complemented by matte chrome detailing around the air vents. Otherwise, things are as before, Honda continuing with the minimalistic and 'human centred' cabin design approach it pioneered with its current HR-V and Jazz e:HEV models. There's a honeycomb-style trim panel with integrated air vents which runs the width of the dashboard and the company has at last upgraded its infotainment set-up, with a much more sophisticated freestanding 9-inch centre screen which of course incorporates 'Apple CarPlay' and 'Android Auto' 'phone connectivity. Through the wheel, (from mid-spec trim upwards) you view a 10.2-inch digital dial display. On the back seat, this current generation Civic benefits from a longer wheelbase than older models and there are large side windows to increase the feeling of spaciousness, plus the unique rear hatch design improves headroom. Previous Civic models always had spacious boots and this one continues that trend: the 410-litre capacity isn't quite up to the level of a Kia Niro Hybrid, but it's way bigger than the 313-litres you get in a comparably-priced Toyota Corolla 2.0-litre Hybrid.

Market and Model

Expect your Civic e:HEV to start from just under the £34,000 mark. That's a little more than you'd pay for Toyota's rival Corolla Hybrid. Here though, there's just a single 5-door body style. Honda has no plans to re-introduce the estate model of the MK9 Civic generation. There won't be a return for the saloon body style of the MK10 design either. There are three trim levels to choose from - 'Elegance', 'Sport' and top 'Advance'. All variants now get an auto-dimming rear view mirror and a wireless 'phone charger. Avoid base trim and your Civic will come with a 10.2-inch driver's display LCD panel. The flagship 'Advance' variant gets a BOSE 12-speaker audio system. All versions of this Civic get the latest version of Hondas 'SENSING' camera safety package. This gives you a 100-degree front wide view camera, enhanced recognition technology, blind spot information, low speed braking control and Lane keep assist. Infotainment and connectivity benefit from a much improved voice command system, the Honda 'Personal Assistant', first seen on the little Honda e. This is basically a next-generation voice control system in that it can respond to multiple commands: for instance "OK Honda, find me an Indian restaurant with WiFi and free parking". With this car, Honda is also offering the latest version of its Honda+ smartphone app, which includes remote vehicle locking and unlocking, plus 'intelligent geofencing', which alerts an owner if the vehicle breaches a pre-set 'geofence' zone. Plus there's the ability to send journey information from the app to the car's navigation system.

Cost of Ownership

Honda's e:HEV technology has progressed a bit since we first saw it in the Civic, but it still falls slightly short of what you'd get in its biggest rival, the 2.0-litre version of the Toyota Corolla Hybrid. This Honda's efficiency figures haven't changed as part of this update - 60.1mpg on the combined cycle and 108g/km of CO2 with base spec. To give you some class perspective, the rival Corolla 2.0 Hybrid with the same 17-inch wheels manages 62.8mpg and 105g/km. Many customers will want to budget ahead for scheduled maintenance with fixed-price scheme called 'Five'. It includes five years' worth of maintenance, an extended warranty for this period and roadside assistance breakdown cover should the unexpected happen. This can be transferred to a new owner if you sell the car before the service plan has expired. The three year 90,000 mile warranty is better than the package you get from many competitors too. In addition, surface corrosion is covered for three years, exhaust corrosion is covered for five years, chassis corrosion is covered for ten years and structural corrosion for twelve years.

Summary

In half a century of Civic model line history, it's difficult to remember as much of a shift of emphasis as is evident with this eleventh generation design. It seems difficult to believe that this was the first Hybrid Civic hatch to be made available in the UK - the sort of thing rivals Toyota have been offering for over a decade. Yet history suggests that when Honda does eventually catch up to a prevailing market trend, it does so in a way that introduces something new - something better. Which might just be what we have here. The Civic e:HEV feels like a slightly larger, more mature car than its direct rivals. It's priced at the kind of level that with quite a few other brands in the family hatchback sector would only get you relatively ineffectual mild hybrid technology (think Focus or Golf). It promises to be safer too. All of which might be enough to allow this MK11 Civic to reach out beyond its traditional customer base. But will that happen? It'll be interesting to see.
