Civic Hatchback e:HEV in Europe<\/a> earlier this week and now it’s presenting its Sedan equivalent in Thailand. Shown here in the sporty-looking RS trim, the electrified saloon uses the same hybrid setup as its Euro hatch cousin.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOf course, the e:HEV is heavier than the Si once you add those two e-motors and a 72-cell lithium-ion battery pack. Honda is proud to say the combustion engine has a thermal efficiency of 41 percent \u2013 one of the highest among road-legal production cars. However, with an e-CVT, it’s far less sporty than the Civic Si with its six-speed manual gearbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this being a full hybrid, it also offers a limited electric range for extra efficiency. Honda currently has the car on display at the 2022 Bangkok Auto Show in Thailand where the black sedan boasts 18-inch wheels and chrome-trimmed door handles. It also gets flashy red “RS” badging as well as contrasting stitching in the same hue for the seats wrapped in synthetic leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Analysis<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honda, like many other manufacturers, is expanding into the EV sector, electrifying their exisiting line-up first to get their customer’s adjusted to the feeling of a driving an EV. I think with the expansion of electrification, vehicles will become bigger and faster allowing for versatility and customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
