This is a pretty cool Modulo bodykit concept for the Honda Civic Hybrid. I’m falling in love with the 2006 Honda Civic more and more. Probably because it’s such a big improvement over the previous generation Civic with the strange back lights. The EK and EG were real sexy too. But let’s not talk about that. Let’s have a look at this Civic Hybrid Modulo Concept
I’m guessing the new back lights and front lights have been changed to ones that save electricity. From the photos even the front headlamps seem to be LED powered, like the Volkswagen EcoRacer’s.
The base Civic Hybrid is powered by a 1.3 litre 8-valve SOHC i-VTEC engine making 110hp backed with an IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) electric motor putting out 20hp.

good…maybe in a 30 years time..we can essembly them in malaysia
i like the front look but the tail lamp look weird………..
walao… cannot accept this design like future war machine…
n y the interior driver part like so high tech n co-driver part design like savvy style? the plastic… the air-con blower hole….
looks wierd…but i've read somewhere that the headroom is not high enough..please someone clarify this matter..

like savvy???r u sure…i cant see it.
coooolllll……that what honda always make me falling love and falling love again with their product.And thats why my prelude still eye cacthed and head turner everywhere i go.From the rear this cool civic looks like Viper,sexy and have very strong 'passion'.But the best is from the hybrid technology….Mr. Paul,when this kind of technologies will enter our market, because the pertrol priced now really cut my pocket…Somebody said of course,your Prelude drink petrol like a water..really?I don't think so….
errr..1.3 litres with that big rims……maybe the driver can pick his nose kaw2 b4 he can shift into 3rd gear
wow…. this is not a made in 2006 car…. more like a made in 2020 car
I beg to differ.. 110 ps is a lot. It's the same as the 1.5 vtec city.
paramsinghwalia,
now the engine technology is quit different from last time.Of course its only 1.3,but i'm sure the engineer already have their calculation about that.And its not same if the car come standart with 13" rim,and then the owner replace it with 17" rim..of course its already run from the spec. And you also cannot accept the design? So you more love to conventional design.If no body dare to change like Honda did, I think we still use Saga like proton did…..New looks will invite controversy,thats normal.After that everybody will like it…My opinion..I love it..Its really radical.
wala neey… now that's is what we a car!!! damn, damn nice…. 10 star to HONDA.

i didnt say i didnt like the design dude…weird n different…a change for once..but it says max 130bhp…hehheeheh..even i know that's underpower for 17 or 18 inch rims…but,whatever turns u on man..some go for style over function
bonet belakang nampak buruk sket sbb warna hitam.lampu belakang nampak kelakar sebab nampak macam kereta mainan punye lampu.

Yes,i agree with you.I already read the article about the headroom last time,but forget from which article.BTW,its hard to satisfied all user.Some love the looks,some looking its functional.Nice design will sacrifices the function,and maybe function one looks boring.Thats why one car company produce a lot of type and design.Overall, this civic looks fairly for me..function and design.
yup..agreed…dare to be different and not boring..to many boring cars already
another fresh design.. people might not accept it just yet.. but look at those beemer..getting more fans day by day..
design changes very often.. its the millenium, 20 years from now people might just call this era a "GOLDEN ERA"..hheh
i think the pics shown isnt really the finalized design of what its suppose to be…well, after all its still a prototype. For all we know, it could be just a clay model.
like evo 10,first time i look at it in photo,feels uncomfortable for a moment. Then after looking more photo…feel nice after that.If see at real thing..wow…can bring it to my dream..heh..heh..
please read lah pauls article that he so painstakingly puts up for us.. the car is a hybrid, using a 1.3 litre engine with an electric motor. its just like the toyota prius. the car can run 100% electric or together..etc depending on how best the computers decide to do it to save the most fuel. its supposed to be a fuel efficient car, and not a fuel hungry high revving performance ivtech engine.
so accept it for what it is. besides, 100+hp from a 1.3 is very very decent, considering thats the power output of older generation 1.5 litre engines.
paramsingwalia,
i mean the feeling, not look.
lifeless plastic feel… totally unfair compare with driver side.
n the co-driver side's middle air-con blower looks is actually design for more to co-driver instead for rear passenger…
1 ppl 2 air-con? oops i forgot our country got a car design 3 air-con for driver too… lol
the back got black color, reminds of Ferrari Modena hee hee

so the plastics on honda is same as savvy…no more bashing la…as if malaysian can do that..hehehehehe
i like it, co-driver got 2 aircond blowers some more ..
Paul , you are not the only one in love !!!
I just love the headlamp , the rims, the rear , the interior ………
Just bring this baby on……..
You can take my Waja anytime..ha ha ha
Paul,
Why is this car using the i-VTEC and not the i-DSi found on the current Civic Hybrid?
eh… i just notice 1 thing… it has no side mirrors….
where izit? they replace them with side cameras??? wooo .. thats coool~~
great racer design.. just the type i dreamt of . .1.3 liter plus the electric motor power .. just the right power..
paramsing.. to wait for malaysia to produce this technology.. in 30 years i may have already dead… something we can only look at japan or usa to do and just purchase from them CBU … so costly la. malaysia boleh meh..
second thoughts.. the headlamp look a little like the head lamp of gen 2 ka..
hmm… the backlights do look weird, but putting that aside, it's a refreshing change… too bad it's unavailable to us malaysians…
anyway, it's by honda, so not much wana comment. proton coming out with radical designs? in 2020 maybe?
i oughta get myself one of these!!!!!
2 blowers for d passenger side is actually pretty common…the E36 beemer have it
Hmm…very radical. Not sure if it's for me. With looks like this could certainly use more than 130bhp.
But look at that steering wheel…ugh! Taste is subjective I suppose.
I just wonder though, being a Honda there's sure to be a fair number of folks who think it's cool. I'm willing to bet a big chunk of these people would think it's "cacat" if it was a Proton.
Not that I'm trying to start a Proton basher/fanboy flame war or anything…
Nice car!! thats all i can say..

yeah..cos proton and p2 not moving b'cos the public are morons.dont want to design or produce own cars…i remember that toyota in the beginning produce a car that cant event climb hills..but the japs support and buy till their are the giants now.malaysian just complain and bash.just go and buy toyota history books.and pls learn to get mindset like the japs or koreans.we just essembly..no vision..then peolple like u complain when proton is gonna produce this tech…when proton tries to bring anything new…BASH TIME!!!!!
try telling that to honda or chris bangle…oooppss..they're foreigners..we malaysian must always agree with them.
spyder,
ivtec is honda's current engine technology. the idsi and vtech found in the honda city are much cheaper to implement. its done to bring costs down to fulfill the city's brief as a budget honda.
don't really like the interior!
if i cruise this car down to the road at PJ or KL,those "Potong" car owner might not aware and maybe they thought we already in year 2050,why still driving "Potong" car. Ha…….Ha….
nice car.
The a/c vent hole is same as normal 2006 Civic for co driver.
Normally cars will have 4 vents (1 at the left, 2 in the middle(side by side) & 1 at the right).
But for this new civic, the middle vent are split & not side by side, so the co driver seem to have 2 vents hole.
LED front lamp cannot work. cannot light far enough. but the engine is awesome thou. 1.3 liter 8 valve SOHC produce 110hp + electric motor somemore. proton campro 1.6 DOHC only
One word only " SHIT!"
Two words "Ugly look!"
Three words " What the F**K"

ya la…unser 8 valve nobody complain…cos toyota…
This is what i'd like to call a car… :D Very nice… :D
hemm…
1.3 Lit >> 110HP (petrol+electric) = hybrid
well i hope some day they produce 200 – 300 bhp with 660 Lit engine.
wakakakka
when that's day comes, my modenas kriss petrol tank would be like pepsi can and still i can round from Tanjung malim to melaka easily.

don't judge the engine capacity loo…later when all car come with moto electric drive…that time our freind will ask us,your car aa,how many amprere?hoe many volt?hehehe….
you guys have totally lost the plot lah. its a HYBRID. accept it for what it is. hybrids are supposed to do 30-50 km with 1 litre of fuel. Its not supposed to blast you from 0-100kmh in 7 secs and hit a top speed of 230km/h…etc.etc. and btw, 8 valve or 16 valve doesnt indicate the level of technology in an engine.
hybrid slow takpe..then nak overtake kancil pun susah with that 17 inch rim….die frog la ….hempap dek bus
I don't think this civic cannot overtake kancil..maybe u just make joke…hehe…
ya la …
but jokes aside…if tose buses on the highway?those buses very fast man…thats the cause of many accidents in malaysia…still sceptic if this car can overtake.

dont u read about the eliica 600kw car dude?it can go faster than ur honda laa….a hybrid car who runs at 30-50kmh?i rather take a train i guess…
no problem…honda maaaa…
see avanza la…stupid engine same as kembara..cheap hard plastics…even the underguard had not been sprayed black…poor qc…but nobody complained
they just say…oooo never mind..its supposed to be like this..
maybe should write to jeremy clarkson and ask him to destroy vios,city.avanza etc for being crappy like kelisa….and dont forget perodua boon tut
in reply to your comment…. proton has very good support what.. has dominated the market for past 20 years with the 60 percent of the total cars on the road….
hey man about the dare to change thing, i just read in the newspaper today that proton is going to assemble WIRAS for sale in indonesia. shouldnt they be done with that thing already?
if only honda is our national project… sniff
Wooo. Loving every part of it The interior is the best though..
shaymen,
first thing you got wrong, the eliica is an electric car, not a hybrid.
the car is a one off prototype that runs massive batteries and huge motors that cost a USD400,000 to build. its designed solely to showcase the pinnacle of electric car technology, It is also a CONCEPT car, it is also not a hybrid, and does nothing for an average consumer driving on the roads today. btw, it takes 10 hours to recharge the batteries.
as for the honda, end of the day, its a concept, the interior, the 17" wheels.. it allows the manufacturer to try things on it that will probably never make it to production.
and yes.. you can definitely "Assemble" a car like this in malaysia. assembly and designing and building a car from scratch are 2 completely different things.
i oways love honda cars.. this is one of the nicest honda cars i ever seen.. i really love the new front, very mean and fierce, especially with the black headlights.. the interior seems to be the coolest among all cars to me..!!! I WANT ONE!!!
Why doesn't Honda offer the Civic in a 4-door hatchback bodystyle, like Toyota's Prius. I think for a practical car it's the most versatile layout.
until now i'm still prefer prius over civic hybrid. performance wise but when it goes to handling civic is more prominent. anyhow civic electric motor is more noisy.the main issue is , when do our beloved gov. will allow the type of car to enter our market?

i beg to differ because….
i don't see rotary engine cars such as the RX7 (1.3) and RX8 (1.3) owners complaining about it… :D
but seriously, 110hp + 20hp(IMA) is rather decent figure for a hybrid… with the proper gear ratios it can basicly give any other 1.6 a run for their money…
but hybrids aren't meant to be pocket rockets either.. haha..
IMHO, the day when the price of cars in Malaysia are justified is when the interior parts are manufactured with better quality/precision at marginal costs… as a business person myself i don't see why it cannot be done…
i'd rather go for small margins and do large volumes… ANYDAY!!
Wow, 8 valves 1.3 litre producing 110hp? What the heck… pretty powerful even though its on a standard motor!
"when do our beloved gov. will allow the type of car to enter our market?
until proton can standing without tongkat…….. "
the gov. doesnt "ban" these cars from entering the malaysian market. The respective manufacturers like honda and toyota malaysia themselves probably dont bother to do so.
firstly, hybrid cars cost quite a bit more than the equivalent non-hybrid version. Secondly, to bring in the cars, they need to setup a sales and service network for the cars, train their people at all levels, warranty, as well as setup the logistics for spare parts..etc.
They have probably done the maths, and probably the sales of hybrids are expected to be too low to justify the cost of bringing them in.
the independent importers can bring the cars in, but these guys dont bother about warranties or parts..etc. so if they do bring it in, and you buy it, what if a component in the electric motor dies?
BTW…don't forget about that import cars become expensive here because of Proton..everybody know about that…So don,t blame somebody choose Avanza or City and said the material is cheap and no quality same like proton…because of of tax the price is high..actually Honda cars in Japan is a cheap car..but when come here..only 'kaya' people can afford it…so sad…hehe..
the rear is a major 'gagal' la beb… but who knows, with the fuel price keep coming up, this hybrid design engine will the main choice. As for the 8 valve and soch, i reckon this is for feul saving factors to be brought up with the hybrid concept. Although its just an 8 valve engine i'm pretty sure the engine management system is an advanced one developed to manage between the gas engine and electirc motor to sync.
Behind summor want to look like Ferarri…. ADUH!!
you all slag off this machine ahh. Honda's hybrid engine is slightly different from Toyota one (Prius, Estima etc). It emphasis power rather than fuel efficiency. If you lot for technology, hybrid is still at infancy, but it saves fuel and makes our environment a bit 'safer'. But then again everyone knows it is down to our attitude!! How you drive not what you drive..
we want more hybrid!!
30 more years, may be hybrid is the way to come

1.3 liter..producing 110bhp with 17's….must be tarmac shattering acceleration…LOL
