Civic RS e:HEV — Still the Hybrid Benchmark?

Honda’s strong-hybrid Civic against the clock, the dyno, and a fuel pump. The numbers surprised us twice.

The e:HEV powertrain is the star: a series-parallel hybrid that behaves like an EV below 60 km/h and a proper petrol saloon above it.

On our standardised 120 km test loop it returned 21.3 km/l — hatchback money for saloon space. The full instrumented run is in the video.

Verdict

What we like

  • 21.3 km/l on the instrumented loop
  • EV-smooth below 60 km/h
  • Saloon space, hatchback running costs

What we don't

  • Engine drones under hard acceleration
  • Premium over the petrol RS
