The compact Honda Civic Hybrid combines a four-cylinder gasoline engine and an electric motor/generator. The hybrid system drives the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that uses belts and pulleys instead of gears. The result is fuel economy and performance like a manual transmission, with automatic-transmission convenience. Between the hybrid engine system and the CVT, the Civic Hybrid gets an estimated 44 mpg overall. It comes fully equipped, save for an optional voice-activated navigation system.
