Following the reveal of the new price for Honda’s CR-Z, a check on the company’s website reveals that the Honda Civic Hybrid is now listed with a new price tag of RM185,500, on-the-road with insurance.
Let’s put that new price into perspective, shall we? Instead of a C-segment Honda Civic Hybrid, you can plonk down more or less the same amount for a D-segment vehicle, which includes the Mazda 6 2.5, Toyota Camry 2.5 and Ford Mondeo 2.0 EcoBoost. Even Honda’s own Accord 2.4 fails to break the RM180k barrier.
The massive jump reflects the now obsolete full import tax and excise duty exemption for CBU hybrids with an engine capacity of below 2.0 litres. Currently, only the locally-assembled Honda Jazz Hybrid, Mercedes-Benz S400 L Hybrid and the facelifted Nissan Serena S-Hybrid are entitled for hybrid inducements.
No changes under the hood – the Honda Civic Hybrid continues on with a 1.5 litre four-cylinder engine offering 93 hp and 121 Nm of torque, mated to an IMA electric motor system and lithium-ion battery – the combo brings total power output to an official figure of 110 hp and 172 Nm. Transmission is that of the CVT variety.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments mostly express frustration over the high price of the Honda Civic Hybrid at RM185,000, with many criticizing government policies they believe hinder green initiatives and inflate car prices through high taxes and duties. Several commenters mention that previous buyers are gaining value, comparing the car to an investment, while others lament the disparity between government promotion of environmental friendliness and the actual pricing policies. There is also criticism of the lack of real green benefits from hybrids, the impact of taxes on ownership costs, and disappointment with the government's stance on fuel and environmental subsidies. Some suggest alternative mid-range cars and sarcastically comment on the pricing, indicating overall discontent with the current market situation and government handling.
