Honda Malaysia has just announced that the Civic Hybrid is now equipped with a Rear Reverse Camera and Hands-Free Telephone (HFT) System capability. With the new Rear Reverse Camera, safety and assistance in parking is enhanced by eliminating blind spots while reversing. Additionally, the HFT System eases answering and making phone calls while driving. These new added features are integrated with the Civic’s intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID), which enables drivers to access the information without taking their eyes off the road.
Through the feedback from customers, Honda Malaysia has learnt that customers are constantly looking for new and additional features with their Honda car purchases. In line with Honda Malaysia’s priority to fulfill customers’ expectations, the new features had been specially added to maximize the joy of driving for Civic Hybrid customers.

It is also the first hybrid model in Malaysia to be fitted with lithium-ion battery, which reinforces Honda Malaysia’s position as the pioneer in hybrid technology.
Mr. Yoichiro Ueno, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Honda Malaysia said, “With our broadest range of hybrid vehicles, Honda has retained the No. 1 position in hybrid segment last year. As of April 2013, more than 16,300 units of Honda Hybrid vehicles are on Malaysian roads and out of these, close to 2,460 units are Civic Hybrid.
