Honda Civic review: hybrid saloon delivers refinement, economy and style — but at a high price

Honda’s new Civic hybrid combines comfort, refinement and excellent fuel economy — but its premium price will test Irish buyers

The new Honda Civic is a gem; finely engineered, genuinely lovely to look at and drive, comfortable to a fault, and bursting at the seams with tech and innovation. But it isn’t cheap.

HONDA CIVIC e:HEV
Rating	★★★★☆
Price	€48,995
Power	essentially an electric, but that electricity is generated by a two-litre petrol engine
The Spec	truly top drawer, although there is only one model available
Verdict	a winning car compromised greatly by the asking price
