Honda Civic e:HEV Refreshed Face and 100% Hybrid Lineup

Honda Australia has pulled back the curtain on the refreshed Civic e:HEV, marking a new era for one of the country’s most enduring models. The updated Civic e:HEV arrives exclusively as a hybrid, a move that underscores Honda’s commitment to sustainability without compromising the model’s trademark sporty drive. With two trim options—the Civic e:HEV L and the flagship Civic e:HEV LX—this hybrid lineup promises an eco-friendly, tech-savvy experience tailored to Australian drivers.

Sleek and Sporty Redesign

For 2024, the Civic e:HEV’s refreshed look amplifies its sleek, modern aesthetic. A more refined front bumper and grille combine with subtle aerodynamic upgrades, maintaining the Civic e:HEV’s sporty edge while improving efficiency. The colours get a reboot too, with two exclusive new shades: Seabed Blue, which adds a deep, oceanic tone to the lineup, and Sonic Grey, available exclusively on the Civic e:HEV LX, giving the top-spec model a unique and premium appearance.

Inside, Honda hasn’t held back on the details. The updated cabin merges a clean, driver-focused layout with high-quality materials, blending comfort with functionality. It’s an interior that caters to the tech-savvy and eco-conscious alike, with everything designed to enhance the Civic e:HEV’s sporty yet refined feel.

Honda may be late to the hybrid game but let’s hope it is not too late.

Power Meets Efficiency: The e:HEV Two-Motor Hybrid System

At the core of both models is Honda’s advanced e:HEV two-motor hybrid system, designed to offer Australian drivers the best of both worlds. This system combines a petrol engine with two electric motors, delivering a smooth, fuel-efficient drive without sacrificing power. Whether cruising in the city or heading out for a weekend road trip, the Civic e:HEV promises an efficient, dynamic driving experience that has come to define the Civic over its 50-year history on Australian roads.

By offering only hybrid options, Honda is making a clear statement about the future of its lineup. Honda Australia’s Vice President and Director, Carolyn McMahon, described the new Civic e:HEV as “a balance of the past, present, and future. The e:HEV lineup reaffirms Honda’s ongoing commitment to innovation, performance, and a more sustainable future for Australian drivers.”

Next-Level Tech with Honda Connect and Google Built-in

The Civic e:HEV goes beyond the typical hybrid by offering an elevated tech experience that sets it apart in its segment. Honda’s new Connect system, which comes standard in both trims, includes Google built-in™. That means drivers have access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, and the Google Play Store directly from their Civic e:HEV ’s dash. With hands-free voice commands, enhanced route guidance, and access to a world of apps, the Civic e:HEV makes connectivity and convenience seamless.

What’s more, Honda Connect isn’t just about fun and functionality—it also boosts safety with a range of connected features designed to offer peace of mind for every journey.

Safety First: Honda SENSING Suite as Standard

Safety remains paramount in the refreshed Civic e:HEV, which comes equipped with the Honda SENSING suite as standard across both grades. This advanced safety package includes a host of active safety and driver assistance features, like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, collision mitigation braking, and more. Together, these technologies help keep drivers and passengers safe while enhancing the overall driving experience, whether it’s the daily commute or a longer drive down the coast.

Civic e:HEV Ownership Benefits with Honda’s Road Ahead Guarantee

Honda’s Road Ahead Guarantee adds even more appeal to the Civic e:HEV ownership experience. With this package, every new Civic e:HEV comes with a 5-year unlimited kilometre warranty, 5 years of premium roadside assistance, and five low-price services capped at just $199 each. This warranty and service package makes the Civic e:HEV a low-maintenance, high-value choice for those looking to embrace hybrid technology without sacrificing peace of mind.

The Civic e:HEV Legacy, Recharged

With this new Civic e:HEV lineup, Honda is writing a new chapter for the iconic model, blending style, advanced hybrid power, and high-end technology to create a vehicle that feels right at home on Australian roads. Honda has brought the future of driving closer with an accessible, eco-friendly, and enjoyable hybrid option that doesn’t skimp on the brand’s signature performance or reliability.

As the refreshed Civic e:HEV models prepare to hit Australian roads, drivers can look forward to a vehicle that’s not only stylish and sustainable but loaded with thoughtful technology and Honda’s legendary build quality. This isn’t just a car; it’s Honda’s hybrid evolution—ready to drive into a greener future with style, confidence, and plenty of spirit.
