Changes Ahead for the Honda Civic and Entire Lineup

Honda Civic Hybrid image Honda is known around the world as a leader when it comes to fuel efficient cars. But it seems that Honda will be refocusing on building less expensive and more fuel-efficient vehicles in the near future. As hybrids and other advanced fuel efficient technologies typically cost a premium, Honda will be focusing on developing cars that don’t cost an arm and a leg.

Ultimately, Honda will not only be focusing on the products themselves, but Honda dealers Jackson suggest they will rather be focusing on the development process. This means examining each component that goes into a new vehicle and gauging its environmental impact.

This strategy will yield a new Honda Civic that will be smaller, lighter, as well as more fuel efficient. Already, Honda’s plans to introduce V8 engines and rear-wheel drive platforms for other models have been scrapped to the dismay of some customers at a used car dealer San Francisco. The emphasis instead will be on reducing weight, and improving upon existing hybrid technology.

The next Honda Civic was initially going to be larger than the current model, but that will most certainly change as Honda instead would like to reduce the weight of the Civic and focus on interior roominess without expanding the car’s overall size. Unfortunately, Westbrook CT Honda dealers recognize that this new direction is expected to cause delays concerning the new product’s release date.

Changing the Honda Civic is not an isolated endeavor. Since many vehicles share the Civic platform, such as the Honda CR-V, changes will eventually be felt throughout Honda’s lineup.
