Ever since the emissions-reducing CVCC engine was introduced in the Honda Civic back in 1974, Honda engineers have strived to maximize fuel efficiency across the entire lineup of Honda vehicles. Flash-forward to today’s Honda lineup and buyers now have their choice of a variety of fuel-efficient variants including both full electric and hybrid options. Honda has set a global benchmark goal for two-thirds of all its sales to come from electrified models by 2030 — proving the brand’s continued commitment to fuel efficiency.
To help you get a better understanding of the fantastic benefits that come from owning a hybrid or electric vehicle, Honda East Cincinnati has assembled this helpful guide which compares the most popular Honda hybrids — the Accord Hybrid and the CR-V Hybrid — in addition to the all-electric Prologue. Let’s take a closer look.

Excellent fuel economy has always been a major selling point of the Civic, and thanks to the available hybrid drivetrain, it’s better than ever. That’s why half of the trims for the Civic Sedan come with this hybrid drivetrain, which isn’t just more efficient than the conventional option, it produces more power as well.
Available in Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid trims, the Civic Sedan Hybrid comes well equipped, with standard all-LED exterior lighting, a one-touch power moonroof, and dual-zone automatic climate control. And it is only the hybrid trims of the Civic that come with heated seats, or a Blind Spot Information System.
Starting at $31,045 MSRP1 | 50 city / 45 highway / 48 Combined MPG2
The Civic Hatchback is one of the most popular US-market hatchback models of all time, offering everything that makes the Sedan such a hit, plus the added practicality of a large and easily accessible cargo area. Only the base model Civic Hatchback is offered with a conventional drivetrain, and the much more popular hybrid version is offered in the same Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid as the Civic Sedan.
Hatchbacks have always been a popular way to get a bit of the practicality that you get from an SUV without sacrificing the superior driving dynamics that come with the lower center of gravity that you get with a car. And with the Civic Hatchback, you can now add superior fuel economy to go along with it.
Starting at $34,750 MSRP1 | 51 city / 44 highway / 48 Combined MPG2

The Civic Sedan Hybrid, Civic Hatchback Hybrid, and Accord Hybrid deliver a driving experience similar to that of a traditional sedan, only with the added efficiency of a third-generation two-motor hybrid powertrain.

Ready to join the all-electric driving revolution? The Honda Prologue has you covered with an impressive driving range, DC fast charging capabilities, and premium interior features.
Regardless of the Honda hybrid or electric vehicle you choose, you’ll enjoy several benefits that make every drive more rewarding. Listed below are just a few great reasons to consider driving a Honda hybrid or electric vehicle.
Perhaps the most obvious and well-known advantage of driving a hybrid or EV is the opportunity to spend less at the pump. Since these vehicles require less gas or even no gas at all, especially around-town and in the city, you’ll experience significant savings compared to a traditional gasoline-powered vehicle.
Your wallet isn’t the only thing that benefits from driving a hybrid or EV. Hybrids and EVs also help the environment since they don’t produce nearly as many carbon emissions as a gasoline-only vehicle. As hybrids and EVs continue to grow in popularity, they help improve the quality of the air around us.
As hybrid and electric vehicles have grown tremendously in popularity in recent years, buyers across the country continue to make the switch. Compared to a conventional model, often times the hybrid or electric variant holds its value much better — resulting in a rewarding ownership experience.
Honda East Cincinnati invites you to come experience the sharp style, impressive efficiency, and smooth yet responsive power delivery found on Honda hybrid and electric models in order to help determine which model suits you best.
