2003 Honda Civic Hybrid sedan driving photo

Behind the wheel of the 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid, we're reminded that this isn't just another gasoline-electric experiment, but rather an evolutionary step forward—like next-generation technology.


We know this because we've driven the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius hybrid electric vehicles many times, finding both exceptional technology statements and examples of some pretty incredible engineering.

The expected nimble Honda handling and peppy performance is apparent, not the hybrid technology?which is the way it should be.




In comparison, it's what we don't notice when driving this new 2003 Honda product that's important. There is nothing extraordinary to feel, just the expected nimble Honda handling characteristics and peppy performance.


Powering through turns on our mountain drive, we're not caught up in the technology—we're caught up in the moment, in the drive. This is a milestone underscoring just how far hybrid electric technology has come in just a short number of years, and how Honda has clearly taken this technology to the next level.
