For the 2003 model of the Civic, Honda added a continuously variable transmission and an Integrated Motor Assist hybrid system similar to that of the Insight, creating a fuel efficient hybrid sedan. It is an assist hybrid.


Technology
  • 1.3 L i-DSI lean-burn internal-combustion engine with VTEC Cylinder Cut-off System, which allows up to three cylinders to cease operation during deceleration. This decreases friction losses generated by engine aspiration and allows more effective regeneration of energy.
  • 15 kW (20 hp) brushless, permanent magnet assist motor, which functions as a generator during deceleration and loads batteries
  • 120 V Nickel-metal hydride batteries with 6.0 Ah capacity
  • Multimatic S continuously variable or 5-speed manual transmission (latter available only in USA)
  • SULEV or optional AT-PZEV certification by the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
  • Low rolling resistance tires and regenerative braking
  • Electric power-steering
  • Does not need to be plugged in
