2025 Honda Civic Two-Motor Hybrid System Wins Prestigious “Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems” Award
Good news for the engineers at Honda Motor as the Honda two-motor hybrid system powering the 2025 Honda Civic Sedan and Hatchback has just received a “Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems” award. This is the second year in a row a Honda hybrid-electric powertrain has received this prestigious honor.
A key step in the Honda electrification strategy, the new fourth-generation Honda two-motor hybrid system that powers Civic hybrid models maximizes efficiency without compromising dynamic performance or passenger and cargo space to deliver a sportier and more pleasant driving experience, with substantially higher fuel economy ratings than the outgoing turbo models.
Variants of the two-motor hybrid system are also available in the Honda Accord and CR-V and represents more than 50 percent of Accord and CR-V sales. In 2023, Honda CR-V was America’s best-selling hybrid vehicle and Accord hybrid sedan was the country’s best-selling hybrid car.
