In a significant leap towards electrification, Honda is set to introduce the Civic Hybrid in 2024, a model that joins its expanding hybrid-electric lineup. This move not only marks a pivotal point in Honda’s green technology strategy but also underscores the brand’s commitment to sustainable mobility solutions.
A New Chapter in Honda’s Electrification Journey
The 2024 Civic Hybrid will be an integral part of Honda’s journey towards a more eco-friendly future. With the aim of reaching carbon neutrality for all vehicles and corporate activities by 2050, Honda is focusing on expanding its hybrid-electric system across its core models. The introduction of the Civic Hybrid is a strategic step towards this vision. It is expected that over 40% of Civic sales in North America will be attributed to this hybrid model.
Production and Manufacturing Insights
The production of the new Civic Hybrid sedan is scheduled to commence in the spring of 2024 at Honda of Canada Mfg. HCM in Alliston, Ontario, followed by the hatchback version at the Indiana Auto Plant IAP in Greensburg, Indiana. The two-motor hybrid-electric power unit is being developed by the Honda Transmission Plant in Ohio, along with the 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine made at the Anna Engine Plant, also in Ohio. These facilities are not new to hybrid models, as they already support the production of the Honda CR-V hybrid.
Roxanna Metz, plant co-lead of the Indiana Auto Plant, expressed pride in the role her team is playing in Honda's electrification strategy. The addition of the Civic Hybrid to their production line signifies a notable development in Honda's green technology initiatives.
Anticipated Features and Design
While Honda has not yet released full details on the 2024 Civic Hybrid’s features, it is expected to boast a blend of performance, design, and technology. In Europe, the Civic Hybrid's powertrain, comprising a four-cylinder engine and two electric motors, delivers 181 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque. It's anticipated that the North American model will have similar or enhanced specifications.
The design of the Civic Hybrid is expected to align with Honda's signature aesthetic - modern, sleek, and functional. The car is also likely to feature advanced technology and safety features, keeping in line with Honda’s tradition of prioritizing driver and passenger safety.
Honda’s Broader Electrification Strategy

The brand has witnessed a significant increase in hybrid-electric model sales in the U.S., with models like the CR-V and Accord experiencing strong demand for their hybrid trims.
