Honda Plans More Hybrid Variants, Including of the Civic

For the first time since 2015, the Canadian market will get a Honda Civic Hybrid variant. This comes as Honda confirms a greater focus on hybrid models across its lineup in the next few years as it sets out on its path to electrification.

Earlier this week, of course, Honda outlined some details of a massive $40 billion USD investment it is making that will eventually make it an all-electric brand (with no more gas-engine vehicles sold by 2040). But while full-on electric models sit at the end of that path to electrification, the transition will require hybridity in different forms.

“Increasing our hybrid-electric vehicle output is critical to reducing Honda’s greenhouse gas emissions and achieving our goals of 100-percent zero-emission vehicle sales in North America by 2040 and carbon neutrality for our global operations by 2050.”

- Jean Marc Leclerc, President, and CEO Honda Canada
