Like we mentioned in our last blog post, the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid is on its way to our dealership. When it gets here it will be joining the ranks of other green offerings from Honda, like the 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid. If you have been considering purchasing an efficient and eco-friendly car from Honda, then let us give you a rundown of this personal favorite so you can make an informed decision when it comes to making a new vehicle purchase.

The 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid is a bit smaller than the anticipated Accord Hybrid and features a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine that is paired with a small-but-powerful electric motor. Those power sources are managed by a 2-speed continuously variable transmission. The electric motor is powered by a large lithium-ion battery. Altogether this powertrain can generate up to 110 horsepower which is just the perfect amount of a vehicle of this size.

If safety is a large concern, then look no further. The Civic Hybrid is outfitted with features like: traction control systems, brake assist, electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes, six-air bags and tire-pressure monitoring. If that wasn't enough, perhaps the forward collision warning system, LED brake lights, and hybrid-specific i-MID screen will be enough to convince you to come check this great model out.

Come test drive one of these highly-efficient Civic Hybrids today when you visit East Coast Honda located at 8756 A Highway Bypass South Myrtle Beach, SC 29588. Our staff of dedicated professionals is always willing to guide you through our extensive inventory of new and used Honda vehicles.
