Honda continues its commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2050 with the electrification of its lineup in the Philippines. Visitors to the 9th PIMS can head toward the Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) booth and view their expanding hybrid electric vehicle range featuring the latest electrified model, the new Honda Civic RS e:HEV.
The Civic RS e:HEV joins Honda other hybrid offering, the CR-V RS e:HEV, bringing the hybrid models up to two.
The Civic RS e:HEV redefines the iconic sedan in the age of electrification and connectivity. The hybrid model stands out with a redesigned bumper with a larger lower grille and slimmer side intakes. Exclusive to this model are diamond-cut 18-inch alloy wheels.
The interior features a new nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, and USB-C ports. Sound is channeled through a 12-speaker Bose sound system. Additional features include the latest generation of Honda CONNECT, now with more features that allows the owners more interaction with their vehicles via a smartphone app. Google Automotive Services are also new to the Honda Civic, allowing for more personalization and let its owners add more applications that are useful and relevant in their everyday lives. Honda SENSING has also been given a significant update for enhanced detection for all road users, as Honda swears by its global slogan, Safety for Everyone.
Powering the Civic hybrid is a new 2.0-liter e:HEV engine that produces 184-PS and 315-Nm of torque paired to a dedicated hybrid transmission.
“The Honda Civic RS e:HEV truly blends performance and efficiency with features that reinforces Honda in the field of leading-edge technologies in connectivity and safety. It has the power to give its driver confidence in every journey with less environmental impact,” said Rie Miyake, president of Honda Cars Philippines, Inc.
