2010 Honda Civic Hybrid
It takes a trained eye to tell the 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid apart from other Civics. Along with the other Civic four-door sedans, it got a new grille and lights last year; otherwise, it’s unchanged for 2010. The Hybrid’s minor exterior tweaks include different wheels, clear turn-signal lenses, turn indicators built into the side-view mirror housings, and a small trunk-lid spoiler. Inside, it sports blue lighting and a wonderfully rich blue cloth interior and blue vinyl dash cap.
The 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid shares much of its body design with conventional Honda Civics, which most reviewers approve of. Reviews surveyed by TheCarConnection.com mostly side with Edmunds, whose testers are “quite fond of the current-generation Civic” and its futuristic styling. Reviewers at Cars.com point out that “the hybrid takes the look even further, with disc-like 15-inch alloy wheels fitted with low-rolling-resistance tires.” Kelley Blue Book cites additional differences between the 2010 Civic Hybrid and other Civic models, including “side mirrors with integrated turn indicators,” along with “clear front turn signal lenses, mild trunk spoiler, small roof-mounted antenna” and hybrid badges. But not all reviewers appreciate the Civic’s radical sedan silhouette. Car and Driver feels that “from the B-pillar forward, it has almost a minivan look to it,” contributing to a “front end [that] looks pretty strange.”
