That's it? [emoji2]

Guess I'll keep my Prius.

I haven't check the motor specs but it sounds a lot like now defunct Clarity, engine & electric motors configuration but without the plug & the big battery!

I think Clarity had a 1.5L engine, this is 2L, which should make it peppy, especially with the lower weight in mind. IIRC Honda Accord came with a 2L engine, could be the same exact one, including the motors.

It is.

The hybrid battery constantly charges as you drive automatically.

And you can charge the main EV battery with the push of a button when ICE is on.

E, I'm envisioning a 90's rave atmosphere, Honda insight achieved 70 miles per gallon. Nowadays, achieving 80 miles per gallon I think is good considered Honda Civic, E, is almost a mid-size car. The car is huge.

Oh the Insight could do better than that real world.

I was frequently in the high 2s on mine.

Which wouldn't surprise me, the insight were small and low down, remember is was also had a tiny 1.0 liter, I think. E, is decent when all things consider.

Oh I don't think there's anything wrong with the E.

I see them around occasionally. They look clumsy and bloated. Honda, discontinue them in 2021. I don't think most people could get on aboard with the looks. Honda, did have a a 1.3 hybrid Civic's too.

Just like with the Aztek, its looks have aged from "fugly" to quirky to interesting

Good news for Canada: the Hybrid Civic Sedan will be made here. There is hope for competitive pricing as the main powertrain components will be manufactured in NA.
